My 6 Month PIF - Starter Kit!
Thread Starter: tiernan22
I just wanted to show my appreciation for the kindness, support, and wisdom that's been bestowed upon me during my first 6 months here. I'm PIFing a very basic starter kit that will at the very least allow you to develop a solid technique and explore other areas of wet shaving. During my journey,...

For those who have/do use shims, how did it work out for you?
Thread Starter: MRoney
As the title says, how was your shim experience? Enough to continue? Did you try two or three shims as well? Any benefits/negatives?

Mendel and Gilligan's Dachshund Owner PIF
Thread Starter: Mendel
Greetings from Mendel & Gilligan! We've been a bit busy lately so it's only fitting that we return with another PIF. This one is for current dachshund owners living in CONUS. What are we PIFing? 1 puck of Scottish Fine Soaps Classic. This was used twice. A sensational performer but...

shavemac Colonia or Americana - any bite on these yet?
Thread Starter: Tim_McD
Has anyone picked up any of the new shavemac brushes yet? I am on Sabbatical, but they are really piquing my interest. So far; my favorite is the Colonia #1 w/D01 knot, but the new Americana is turning my head as well.

Buy another razor due to plating loss on Gillette?
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...

Plate loss with black underneath in fat handle Tech
Thread Starter: badgerparade
This Canadian WWII Tech shaves beautifully, but the plating is not that great. One flea-bite and a bit of 'bubbling' on top of the head, and underneath, there is a patch where it has worn off completely. Underneath, as you can see in the picture, the metal is black and rough to the touch. It seems...

Shaving with Da Beast, still an elusive goal
Thread Starter: totorlekiller
So I bought this one on eBay a few weeks back. There was something very appealing about how it was restored with what I consider a great Judo move: turning what must have been a ding on the blade into an aggressive, yet elegant attitude. The body is made in texture purple heart. The blade is an...

Loose pin
Thread Starter: jeff_C
I have a favorite razor that has a pretty loose pivot pin. Its certainly usable but would prefer it to be just a bit more snug. Is there anything I can do? I don't want to risk damaging anything. Especially since its totally useable. Thoughts?
