I recently picked up a Merkur Slant 37C on the BST forum. This week I used it to shave with. The blade of choice was a Personna Med blade. First, this razor is quite deceptive. The head of the razor reveals a fairly large gap and that reminded me of the infamous R.41. The razor has some...

I'm sure this post will generate a lot of responses. I don't mean to offend any MWF diehards out there, I'm just genuinely curious. It seems to me that a lot of people are going to a lot of effort to make MWF work for them. I've read countless posts asking for suggestions on how to get it to...

I recently finished my first bottle of scotch, Famous Grouse, and found it quite enjoyable. It took a bit getting used to, having previously been a fan of mixed drinks. I have begun a bottle of The Black Grouse and find it not that much different. I suppose that since it is only blended that it is...

Well, if I were in marketing at Gillette (in the 1920's), I would have politely asked whether we could come up with another name. Imagine the quizzical look on a friend's face, when I asked if she wanted to see my 'Big Fellow', just before I brought her into my shave den! My best guess is...

I have been busy: Gillette Brownie Old type (boxed). Gillette single ring Old type from 1917. Gillette single ring Old type from 1918 (boxed). Leresche Gillette Old clone made in France. Big Ben open comb with a Gillette Old type head (boxed). (The astute among you might begin to observe...

Shave Jelly - I'm a convert for life
Thread Starter: BubbleheadGreetings. For show 'n' tell I like to show something that very few B&B members will have heard of, even fewer have tried, and even fewer still would ever prefer to soaps and croaps. By process of elimination, I'm probably the only member here who uses shave jelly. Yes, shave JELLY. Not a cream,...
