I've had the Arko for ages and decided to give it a go with a straight - not bad at all. Great for a quick shave - so long as you don't mind the fairly industrial smell of the Arko - amazing when you consider that this stuff is cheap as dirt.

Floris No.89 EdT

If you're one of those dumb and shallow kinda guys who ignore experienced reviewers on this site and prefer instead to be guided by pretty L'Occitane sales girls on the QVC UK TV shopping channels (Alexis I think her name is, the one with the nice eyes!) then you will probably end up buying a 150mls of this shaving cream. Well the shaving cream is CRAP in my opinion like a number of reviewers here have already stated. If you really want to try it, buy it cheap off one of those kinda guys I mentioned earlier...

SOTD Rating 7/10 ...the SC is not recommended...

MAN, what a shave. Derby blades are impressive with their longevity. Feathers are close, but for the price I'm leaning towards the Derbys so far.

Shaves like the ones this morning put me in a :yinyang: kind of mood. That's gotta be good for something...right?

eShave White Tea ASB (see SC)

Overall: 9/10

I convinced myself that eShave was overpriced since the SC was in the same price range as the AOS and I didn't feel it as moisturizing or lubricating (while the scent was by far the best I've smelt to date), but today it gave me the smoothest shave I've had yet. Seems it wasn't the SCs fault last time, but my own. Why.... I told myself I wouldn't buy anymore SCs but this is so good!

They're right when they say prep is 50% of a good shave. I didn't have any irritation after the experiment, but the sheer size of the cartridge head meant I had to literally shake the razor 9 or 10 times each time I rinsed the blades... otherwise a steady stream of water would run down my face, leaving tracks of missing lather on parts I hadn't shaved yet! :eek2:

Overall: No thanks, Shick. I'll stick with my DE razors.

The Gillette Tech I received from DoubleE is a mild, non aggressive shaver. To get the ol' visage as close as possible to baby butt smooth, I needed a Feather blade and had to pay extraordinary attention to my shaving regime. The narrow presentation of the blade at the safety bar precludes increasing the angle to get those extra wiry whiskers.

The razor was very well balance for a light razor, the comb and angle were nice a little different approach but nice. All in all will defiantly use again a very enjoyable easy shave. :thumbup1:

Joe, how do you like the Aubrey after shave?

[TraderJoe]

Joe, how do you like the Aubrey after shave?

Hey bud - Put it this way: I've already got my eye on the other scents. :wink:

But as for the Spice Island specifically, its a fantastic bay rum scent and I'd put it up there with the best of 'em as far as Bay Rum's go.

The skincare is excellent (witch hazel, aloe, ginseng).

All in all, a fantastic aftershave, and will be a mainstay in my collection.

You're a pioneer my friend, I probably wouldn't have tried the Aubrey splash if it weren't for you :biggrin:

They most certainly do! I actually have them both :thumbup1: (the deo I have is a pine, and the balm is Spice Island)

The splash, for some reason just never caught my eye - but your comments made it a must have - I'm glad I listened to you :cool:

[ben27marie]

That picture is great. It looks like a labor of love. The lighting with the candly is amazing. The other picture from the other poster with the water particles on everything is pretty cool too.

I hope I don't get booted out for admitting that I used my Gillete Fushion and Mach 3 shave gel this morning. :out: I have been doing tons of research on proper wetshaving and will be getting a Proraso brush and cream the next time I get to the big city (I live in the boonies) and I plan to order a Merkur HD at the beginning of March, so I won't be using the crude instruments I have now for much longer. :shaving: I did make sure to open my pores with hot water and tried to keep a light layer of gel mixed with lots of hot water on my face while I shaved. Like I said, I plan to have some real equipment soon. I've been finding everyone's posts very educational and useful.:thumbup1:

First time trying the fatboy. I picked it up on wednesday at an antique store in new orleans for 6 bucks...cleaned it up...noticed that the blade was slightly slanted (seemed closer to the comb on one side than the other)...did a little research here and a little bending and while it still isn't perfectly straight, the shave was PERFECT...no nicks/cuts/irritation! I will call this my fatboy slant! One side does seem better than the other looks-wise, but the shave was all around GREAT. Am looking forward to trying the bluetipped '59 SS I got at the same shop (also for 6 bucks).

Forgot how nice the Nancy Boy signature is... I'm not crazy about their replenishing cream (cucumber) but the signature cream is good to go.

Ho. Lee. Crap.

If the B&B Standard Silvertip is THIS soft and luxurious, I can't even begin to imagine what the Finest Silvertip is going to be like. This was my first go with the B&B brush... I got the Standard Horn and Finest Ebony.. still waiting on the Ebony.

I've never had a brush hug my face like this B&B!!! :yinyang: :yinyang: Talk about soft and supple.... I don't know if it's overstuffed 20% or whatever, and it stinks like a wet animal (go figure) but the performance is easily the most amazing lathering machine I've ever used... including my SR 3124, SMF I brush, etc.

After using Feathers strictly for the past few weeks I forgot how dull other blades are, after 3 passes with the Swedish Gillette I actually wondered if the blade fell out mid shave, cause after my ATG pass my face looked like I had a days old beard :confused:

Took 4 passes + touch ups on my face to get BBS, 5 passes + touch ups on my neck and I still have stubble on a lot of areas. One thing though, these blades are incredibly forgiving, I didn't notice any blood today, didn't bother using styptic for the first time since I bought it, and I was really leisurely after my 3rd pass :001_rolle
