    PIF Since I made rank!

    Thread Starter: Demaskee

    Well I found out I'm getting promoted to MSgt (E7) in the Air Force today. With this good news, I'm going to PIF an entire starter kit. While it is a starter kit, veteran shavers are more than welcome to enter. So what do you get? 1) Gillette Fat Handle Tech Razor - This razor is not in mint...

    Uncertain about DE shaving - advice?

    Thread Starter: GKC1

    Hello to all. I am considering switching to shaving with a DE razor, not because I don't get good shaves with my current razor, a Gillette Fusion, but because of the expense of the cartridges. I get an excellent shave with the Fusion razor, and it doesn't seem to matter what canned product I use...

    SOTD: 20 - 26 May 2013

    Thread Starter: BRuhling

    B&Bers, last week was yet another fabulous showing. The SOTD is by far the best thread on this forum. And it is all because of your contributions! I'm starting off this week with a Chandler pattern welded steel blade. It was a velvet squeegee and I am a happy man!

    Night shaving

    Thread Starter: Suggy

    I've always been a morning shaver, when I get up. This week I started shaving at night. It makes a bit more sense now that I have my kids every other week and I can use the extra time in the morning. Luckily, I don't have that dark or thick of a beard so no shadow or real scruff till in the evening...

    Got one of these in today. I've always really liked the way these looked and from what is said they make for real nice shavers. I did a little clean up work but not a ton. Took a chance on it for the bay. The pic, there was only one, was real bad and the listing was misspelled. I was labeled a...

    How old were you when you first started shaving?

    Thread Starter: Shave Snob

    I was about 13 when I first started to shave. I had a full on mustache when I was in junior high and I kept it all through high school and didn't shave it off until I was 19. I'm teh one in all the year books that looked like I was a hoodlum and went out back after class to smoke behind the...

    Otto Roth/Gillette New Long Open Comb

    Thread Starter: mistercitizen

    Does anyone know anything more about this Otto Roth razor? I've read a few threads from the past, but I'm particularly curious about the handle. It's kind of like a thin common bar handle.... but not really? I'm not an expert in the Gillette New Long Open Combs.... but I know that this is...

    Getting frustrated

    Thread Starter: Teppanyaki

    It's been about a month or more since my transition to DE shaving (I can't actually remember the last time I used my electric), and my shaves are intermittently decent, occasionally good, but frequently not very good and/or really irritating. It's really frustrating, and I was hoping that things...
