A Very Rare Gillette? Complete Techmatic DE Razor Set
Thread Starter: thekinge
I'm still gutted that I missed this one, because I've never seen this Gillette being discussed nor documented anywhere. It's a Gillette Techmatic DE Razor set, yes a Techmatic that is a DE!!! To me it looks like a prototype that was never sold outside but was given to few Gillette executives for...

Bird_Flu's straight razor journal
Thread Starter: Bird_Flu
I should preface this by saying for almost the first 20 years of shaving, ever since I was 12 years old, I shaved with cartridges. Sometimes I would shave in the shower no canned goo, sometimes with canned goo, but never very often or comfortably. Fast forward to sometime last year and a work...

10 days in - one lingering issue
Thread Starter: jcblough
I've been shaving with a merkur hd and astra blades. I'm using one of 3 creams and everything is going fine - sans one thing. The whiskers on my jaw line and the right corner of my chin are roughly the consistency of a wirebrush. It seems with the DE razor, no matter how fresh the blade, the...

Technique or more aggressive razor?
Thread Starter: eternal-fire
Ok, so I've been shaving for about 3 months now. Using a EJ DE89L, it can give me a BSS except for the area under my chin. Tried all kind of shaving passes, even the j-hooking and the Gillette glide, but the area is still not BSS! For razor blades, I've tried from Derby to Feather, but to no...

Your deserted island razor?
Thread Starter: Ron Scott
Let's make this one a little different... You're still off to the deserted island but assume you've got 40+ years ahead of you and that razor's gotta last (I guess you've got an unlimited supply of blades.). What specific razor are you going to take, and let's choose in the poll between a...

Your most disappointing shaving supplies purchase ever?
Thread Starter: BRITD
You know the one. The Razor that was worse than a 49 cent box cutter, the Soap/Creme that was worse than dish soap, The Brush that was worse at making lather than a toothbrush. Let em roll and entertain us by explaining how bad a product it was.

Going back to Feathers
Thread Starter: parapaul
Having used Feathers and loved them, I kept a few back from the pack I had and experimented with a couple of others. Neither the Astra SP nor the Personna Reds gave me as comfortable a shave. Equally close, a few weepers but no real irritation but I could tell, even with my limited experience...

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. ...
