    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...

    Curse this forum and this shaving addiction!

    Thread Starter: ugafishman

    I was fine. I was miserable using the canned cream and stock razors, and I was fine. Ignorance was bliss. But no, I wanted something more, something better. So I decided to turn my shaving experience into something I enjoyed. The razors, the soaps, the blades, the smooth face .... It was everything...

    SOTD: 20 - 26 May 2013

    Thread Starter: BRuhling

    B&Bers, last week was yet another fabulous showing. The SOTD is by far the best thread on this forum. And it is all because of your contributions! I'm starting off this week with a Chandler pattern welded steel blade. It was a velvet squeegee and I am a happy man!

    Stopped twice at the airport for an empty DE razor

    Thread Starter: hsamuels

    I've gotten into the habit of mailing blades ahead of my arrival at a hotel if I plan to travel with only a carry-on. But this past week I was pulled aside twice, once in the US and once in Europe, to have the agent open my bag, pull out the razor, and unscrew it to make sure there really wasn't...
