    To Conk or not to Conk.

    Thread Starter: hawaiianstubble77

    Greetings! 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...

    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...

    If I May Be So Bold.A Few Tips For DE Shaving

    Thread Starter: doug1066

    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...

    Thread Starter: Emerson

    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...

    NEW Santa Maria Novella - Reformulated

    Thread Starter: slickster514
