    I just blew $80 on an 8k whetstone. Do I really need a 12k whetstone for SR honing?

    Thread Starter: eclipse75

    I bought a Kitayama 8K water stone. Should I still buy a 12k stone?

    British products

    Thread Starter: ysbg

    I will soon be leaving the UK and I was thinking that perhaps I shouldn't leave without buying a few classic British shaving products. Now I know there is already tons of info in the forum, and I saw a few brands come back a few times - for example Taylor of Old Bond Street - but there is simply...

    Gillette slim bargain!

    Thread Starter: wazza

    I know its really bad taste to brag but I'm just so excited. Also if I tell my friends they just don't understand anyways. For a while I have been looking for a adjustable razor so I can play around and find out my preference regarding closeness of shave. Well in the week I noticed a seller with...

    Need new face wash

    Thread Starter: blindmouse

    I've been using Real Shave Company's Face Wash -- the creamy stuff, not the scrub -- but it appears as though they may have stopped making it. Don't have an ingredient list, but it certainly has some moisturizing properties. I'd use it in the shower, pre-shave. I've tried some Dove, and...

    Well gentlemen, it's time for another great week! I'm starting off the week with a Japanese western style straight, some vintage Yardley, and a vintage Fuller brush. Who could ask for more to start off a new week?

    Feather Artist Club DX shave and a question

    Thread Starter: PDman

    I recently bought a Feather AC SS and enjoyed the shave experience with a Feather Pro Guard blade. I bought the DX and noticed that the shave angle is much smaller, almost flat. Because of this (I think) the blade holder had a tendency to stick to my face. Actually felt like it was being sucked to...

    Cherries - Give me some ideas

    Thread Starter: ironfisted

    Well folks I have two cherry trees in the backyard and it looks like they will be putting out a substantial crop this year. Since A) there will be more than we can eat and B) one of the trees is showing very blemished cherries that my family won't touch, I'm looking for something to do with them....

    Super-Max Platinums - Astra SP alternative

    Thread Starter: Nomad1600

    I reached into a bag of sampler blades I received a while ago... and pulled out a Super-Max Platinum that was one of the blades that the sampler had the most of. For some reason I avoided trying one, and included a number of these in Toothpick's blade exchange. Mistake... The blade is...
