What an amazing experience! I couldn't see 100% what product was used, but it was all very similar to the menthol proraso scents. The pre shave included a pre-shave balm, hot towel, lather, an another hot towel and some face massaging. The shave itself was very...dare I say, "intimate". The barber...

In the past we have sent out a box filled with goodies. Participants would add to the pile and take out something from the pile. It may be shaving gear, it may be pens, haberdashery, knives, coffee/ teas...who knows!? If you've read about it here there's a good chance it may be in the box. ...

So I just received a Gold Dollar from Seraphim, honed on lapping film. There are a lot of people on this forum (and others) who bemoan the use of lapping film to hone razors and some say the GDs are not shave worthy no matter what you do. To all of you out there I say you are correct. The...

On my quest to freeze my face off I have been told to try Vostok by QCS, I've never tried anything from QCS so I was wondering if any online vendors sell it, or if the only place to buy it is from QCS. Sidenote: Anyone know if the Vostok AS will help me freeze my face off?

Hey BB, I'm in the process of making scales for my wade butcher and some razors that I had shipped back to my home in the US. My uncle wanted to take the challenge of making some scales for me. Here is the wood I'm using. Its harder then the cocobolo blanks I ordered at the same width. ...

I'm sure this post will generate a lot of responses. I don't mean to offend any MWF diehards out there, I'm just genuinely curious. It seems to me that a lot of people are going to a lot of effort to make MWF work for them. I've read countless posts asking for suggestions on how to get it to...
