    Antique Shop Score

    Thread Starter: Old Man Army

    After reading some inspirational stories about recent finds in the wild, I decided to venture beyond the local antique shops in search of another razor. I had a feeling this shop would be good, it had lots of what I call guy things military surplus, tools, smoking accessories etc. The only...

    Guide me to a red ink.

    Thread Starter: Relentless

    My quest for my minutely feathering, zero shading, deep, dark, saturated black ink is slowly coming to an end. For a water soluble ink I really prefer Aurora black. My water repellent heavy-weight is currently Sailor nano black. I'm now on the hunt for a red I can appreciate and enjoy using....

    Newbie. first DE shave this morning

    Thread Starter: DesertJake
