    Walking the Razor's Edge - Knowing When to Change Blades

    Thread Starter: scoran

    Just saw a good post about having a strict system for blade changing, but I'm more of a go-by-feel kind of guy. What are your tried-and-true techniques for knowing when a blade is past its prime? Especially when you are trying out new blades?

    Is this ok?

    Thread Starter: luvmysuper

    F*ck $hit A$$ Anyone here not know what the above means? I know I can't write the "F" word here, so is it ok for me to post a picture of that word in text on a sign or label? Since I can't write the "F" word, can I just post a picture of two people copulating? I know we've talked about...

    A Very Rare Gillette? Complete Techmatic DE Razor Set

    Thread Starter: thekinge

To me it looks like a prototype that was never sold outside but was given to few Gillette executives for...

    Is there a brush better at preventing ingrowns?

    Thread Starter: KCee

    Just wondering if anyone that suffers from ingrown hairs has found a brush that helps prevent them? I'm thinking a firmer brush would lift the hairs up better? I have a EJ Best Badger brush along with an Omega 48 and both seem very nice, but I'm only a little over 6 months into DE shaving and...

    Gran' Pappy's Medico

    Thread Starter: jiminyshiznit

    So, I found my grandpa's old pipe the other day, and I'd like to fix 'er up a little. I've been reading up on the salt/alcohol method to clean it out, so I'll start with that. It has a clear finish that's chipped up, and I'd like to get that off, too. Should I sand it off, or is there a better way...
