    Merkur Slant: Deceptive Razor

    Thread Starter: ackvil

    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...

    Waiting for Replated Gillette President from Reliable

    Thread Starter: rivieraranch

    It has been three weeks since I spoke to the folks up at Reliable Electroplating about my Gillette President sent up there for replating. I am really looking forward to receiving it back.

    I'm ready to call it.

    Proraso green in the tub, in my opinion at least, is not meant for bowl lathering. During my initial testing phase, in which I tried different brushes and blades with Proraso, I found that creating a great lather on my face was quick and easy. My second phase included the same components but...

    Feeling "proper"

    Thread Starter: Bowtie2Bimmer

    Good Morning Gents This morning I am getting ready to go to a wedding of a very good friend of 12 years. My slacks and shirt are nicely pressed. I am about to shave using my 31 Goodwill. I will don a bow tie... a proper bow tie, tied by me. And for whatever reason I feel very nostalgic. Very...

    Proper care for a Wee Scot.

    Thread Starter: cwf71

    Bought the cute little bugger off the mall recently and used it the first time this morning (quite nice with some MWF). Question now is, how do you dry yours properly (hair down) after use? Knot/handle is too small to fit into a normal brush stand... No coffee yet this morning so sorry if I...

    Couple of Jnat honing videos

    Thread Starter: mainaman

    I was making some videos for a contest on another forum and decided to shoot one of honing a kamisori and one of honing a western straight. Both videos are of honing on a finishing hone. The kamisori needed the bevel set towards the heel, that was done fully on the finishing stone with koma...

    Thread Starter: warmpabst

    I've been using a DE for ~6 weeks now and it is great! Fed up with the price of cartridges, I took a friend's advice and figured it couldn't hurt to try. I bought a DE89 on Amazon after reading reviews there. (I only found this forum recently but still think I made a good choice for a...
