    Seeking Golden Nib knot recommendation

    Thread Starter: markewallace

    I'm wanting to order a good badger to replace my Tweezerman. With all of the kudos that TGN gets here, I figure I'll turn towards them. Seems like good stuff at the right price. What would y'all recommend to suit this: Bowl lather with creams maybe 40% of the time The remaining is face...

    Water dribbling out of knot during second lather application.

    Thread Starter: athair

    I've only been wet shaving for a couple of months now, and the only brush I have is a VDH boar. I think I've gotten to the point of consistent decent lather, until this week at least. The last 3 days I've gotten good lather by face lathering but twice while smoothing it out before the first pass,...

    Blade Disposal - What's Best?

    Thread Starter: scoran

    There's a great thread going on about the various ways folks dispose of their blades - some wrap 'em and chuck 'em, others re-purpose piggy banks, those with old-fashioned medicine cabinets use the handy blade slot to drop them back behind the drywall. Best are the self-made disposal units - you...

    rockviper's straight journey 2.0

    Thread Starter: rockviper

    I was using straights back in early 2011 and ended up selling them after a mishap or two. Still have the small battlescars, but that didn't deter me from wanting to eventually get back in the game. I thought it would be another 10 years or so, but then a beautiful kami came on the BST last month...

    If you only.

    Thread Starter: 2005xfr

    If you only could have one DE razor, one shave brush, and one soap... What would it be? For me... Mergress XL, Simpson Colonel and MFW soap.

    SOTD: 20 - 26 May 2013

    Thread Starter: BRuhling

    B&Bers, last week was yet another fabulous showing. The SOTD is by far the best thread on this forum. And it is all because of your contributions! I'm starting off this week with a Chandler pattern welded steel blade. It was a velvet squeegee and I am a happy man!

    Shower Shaving?

    Thread Starter: Starkicker

    Hey Guys, I was shaving and got what I thought was a BBS. I hopped in the shower to wash off the excess soap and found that under the hot water, I had lots of missed spots. I know that using hot water makes the stubble more pronounced and got to wondering if anyone out there shaves in the shower...

    Ivory Ivory Ivory!

    Thread Starter: daflorc

    I need a new ivory dealer guys. Any good sources? I'm trying to avoid the dealers that charge like $60+ for a set of scale blanks - it gets cheaper than that and so I'm looking for the "fair" dealers. thanks
