While in Buffalo over the weekend, I picked up a bow tie at Macy's for $18 (after 60% discount; sweet). SWMBO bought it for me to "hush me up" but never expected that I would actually wear it. :tongue_sm Had fun last night trying to tie it, but gave it another shot this morning and Badda-Bing...

This was pretty much inspired by the "what razor/ blade did you use today" thread, but I see a few people like to post a picture as well. I like to post a picture too. So i was thinking it would be cool if we had a thread with nothing but pictures of what you used today. You can type a description...

:a50::a50: Step right up and gather around everyone! The B&B Essential Brush is back. :a50::a50: It's my pleasure to announce the rebirth of the Badger & Blade Essential brush. This time, it will be boar instead of badger. These brushes are not limited editions; they will be continuously...

When that stuff gets on my fingers I can run them under water and wring my hands and the slippery feel does NOT go away. Then I'm afraid to use the hand towel for fear of bleaching it. I hate this stuff! My wife tells me to use rubber gloves, but that just reminds me of the doctor...

I bought these blades for 99p in Paignton today. The pack says "Made in Korea" and the blades are blank apart from indicator arrows. Am I to assume these blades are Dorcos and probably 300s? It's the first time I've seen blades in a blade dispenser round these parts and ironically I can buy 10...

I'm very happy to finally be joining a community of passionate and welcoming individuals dedicated to the art of the wetshave. I made the jump to DE when I was 18 (I'm 20 now), and recently became tempted to leap to the cuthroat world many of you inhabit. My birthday was a couple of days ago, so...

Hey guys, first time posting on this forum, though I've been using it as a resource for some time. That said.. I have been talking to my father about the benefits of using a DE blade. He is no stranger to them, and grew up using them, but at some point abandoned the DE for a cartridge. I guess...

Noob Alert: Now I Know Why My Shaves Suck. Pics Inside
Thread Starter: miresApparently the blade isn't supposed to lay completely flat in there like that? Longest. Week. Ever. I was all but ready to give up on DE shaving altogether until I noticed that my razor didn't look much like the pics you guys posted here. I guess a $10 Chinese razor just isn't going to cut it (pun...
