    Noob Alert: Now I Know Why My Shaves Suck. Pics Inside

    Thread Starter: mires

    Apparently 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...

    Turning heads at work

    Thread Starter: rockviper

    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...

    Post today's setup (PICS)

    Thread Starter: DirtDiver

    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...

    Not liking Scrubbing Bubbles

    Thread Starter: Ron Scott

    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...

    Winn Dixie Blades

    Thread Starter: mjclark

    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 just blew $80 on an 8k whetstone. Do I really need a 12k whetstone for SR honing?

    Thread Starter: eclipse75

    I bought a Kitayama 8K water stone. Should I still buy a 12k stone?

    At last.

    Thread Starter: oldsoul93

    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...

    Best Butterfly Razor?

    Thread Starter: ShaveDrunk

    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...
