    Got a SE shave today at the barber shop!

    Thread Starter: Mbuckwash

    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...

    IT"s Back. Take a Couple, Leave a FEW box of passaround fun

    Thread Starter: rickboone1

    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. ...

    Seraphim and his darn lapping film

    Thread Starter: rider4life

    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...

    Wanted: Photos of DE razors (I'll send you something in return)

I know there are tons of great DE photos on this site, but I don't have time right now to find all of them. So, I'm asking for you to point me to photos (or take new one!). In return, I'll send you a...

    Hey guys, just picked this one up.

    Thread Starter: Bear_Blade

    And am wondering just how much work I should do to it. Its in remarkable shape! Scales are tight, intact and straight, blade doesn't have any patina save a small area in the barbers notch. Any of you knowledgeable types able to narrow down a ball park age on this one?

    QCS Vostok ?

    Thread Starter: rptanner9

    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?

    Mitchell's Wool Fat

    Thread Starter: Chris H

    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...
