I'm looking into a custom RV brush for my dad for his bday in a couple months and I'm trying to figure out the best knot and loft for him. He's a soap user (turned him on to Mike's and he hasn't looked back) and face latherer and he's been using a 20 year old horse hair brush with what I'd guess to...

Wet shaving, eh? Never knew it had a name. I’ve been doing it since the early 80s. I’ve been a Sensor and Barbasol kinda guy all my life (with a brief stint with Noxzema shaving cream for technical reasons in 1984). However... 3/28/13 I heard a segment on Harry’s Razors on MarketPlace...

I just blew $80 on an 8k whetstone. Do I really need a 12k whetstone for SR honing?
Thread Starter: eclipse75I bought a Kitayama 8K water stone. Should I still buy a 12k stone?
