    Bidders on the Bay handed me my rear end today.

    Thread Starter: Gary H

    I went on what I thought was a razor buying rampage today gave myself a $500.00 limit thinking I would get some great razors for the collection. Allot of my bids were high in my opinion but I really wanted certain razors. Throughout the day I was outbid as usual countered was the high bidder all...

    Plating Questions

    Thread Starter: mbrossar

    I'm looking at re-plating a short comb NEW, and I'm interested in gathering a few opinions. I like the look of silver, so I'm limiting my options to Nickel, Chrome or Rhodium. I'm pretty familiar with the color differences between Nickel and Chrome, but I've never seen a razor done in Rhodium. ...

    The Kaweco Thread

    Thread Starter: andrew98

    This brand does not get enough press, in my opinion. Occasionally folks around here, including me, mention the Kaweco Sport as a good option when someone is looking for a starter or pocket pen. That's usually where all mention of Kaweco ends. My Sport has a medium gold-plated steel nib that writes...

    Stopped twice at the airport for an empty DE razor

    Thread Starter: hsamuels

    I've gotten into the habit of mailing blades ahead of my arrival at a hotel if I plan to travel with only a carry-on. But this past week I was pulled aside twice, once in the US and once in Europe, to have the agent open my bag, pull out the razor, and unscrew it to make sure there really wasn't...

    Blade recommendations anyone?

    Thread Starter: jestah93

    So, I've been wet shaving for a couple of weeks, and although I know some say not to switch blades in the beginning since the important part is getting used to the process, I did just that. I shaved a few times with a 50s Tech and personna blades, then iridium, both of which gave me a decent shave...
