I've been using a DE for ~6 weeks now and it is great! Fed up with the price of cartridges, I took a friend's advice and figured it couldn't hurt to try. I bought a DE89 on Amazon after reading reviews there. (I only found this forum recently but still think I made a good choice for a...

F*ck $hit A$$ Anyone here not know what the above means? I know I can't write the "F" word here, so is it ok for me to post a picture of that word in text on a sign or label? Since I can't write the "F" word, can I just post a picture of two people copulating? I know we've talked about...

My dear friends, base notes is excited by their patchouley. I am a fan of their shaving cream. I am looking for a great patch or vetiver EDC. I have been wanting to delve into this all my life. Have favored all the British stuff, my best vetiver was done by Floris. So looking for those scents....

I learned how to shave nearly forty years ago with a Schick Injector and during the 80's I left traditional DE and SE shaving for the various shaving "systems" that Gillette and Schick marketed at the time. I returned to traditional shaving a few years ago simply because after the Atra and the...

Hello, I am new to DE shaving. I bought my first razor, a 1956 Gillette Super Speed, last week and am now aware of some brassing on the handle and a bit on the underside where the date code is. I am a bit disappointed because I've since found some for sale online for a bit less than I paid and...

I've been using the reformulated SMN Shave Cream (the one with a touch of Toscano scent). Although it shaves very well, and leaves your face well nourished even with the removal of lanolin........... it just doesn't lather as it used to. The lather is rather flat and a tad runny, and low volume no...

To Conk or not to Conk.
Thread Starter: hawaiianstubble77Greetings! Upon the recommendation of a fellow B&B member, I visited a small mom-and-pop shop that sells a small collection of shaving gear: Colonel Conk and Merkur, along with some straight razors. I try to support local small businesses whenever possible, and this shop sounds like a good...
