No pictures. Sorry. It's just a 70's type writing desk. I'd like to have a nice roll-top writing desk but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'm disappointed. They don't even offer a 2nd one free for separate S&H. I'm not buying it.

I'm in. I live in Frederick MD. Schifferstadt, Germany is a sister-city of Frederick, MD. Sister cities, or town twins in Europe, partner with each other to promote human contact and cultural...

I love the VDH Deluxe (Select is good too) and have about 30 pucks in reserve. I melt them 4 at a time into Starbuck mugs that I bought and add my favorite after shaves to them. Wonderful! I...

Personna Lab Blue - I'm stockpiling them to obtain a lifetime quantity. It's the only one I will use from now on.

I am not sure that it qualifies as an accessory but I couldn't do without my writing desk.

I'd go with the 146 with platinum trim. I find it's about the largest that fits nicely in a shirt pocket and it will match your ball point if you choose to continue to use that. Pick the bold nib...

I'd choose the Parker 75 as long as all the nibs were also back in production.

Like you this is my first post to this board. Since nobody has answered yet, I'll make a couple of comments since I have been researching the same question about the same two coffee maker brands. ...

I use C&E Sandalwood occasionally and initially had a very similar experience - difficulty getting good lather. I found that after using it for 3-4 days in a row, it seemed to soften up and...

Welcome Rozzer. I can appreciate your project as I'm getting ready to retire and adjusting my household budget now in preparation. I've purchased about a 5 year supply so I really won't have to...

First WOW - AOS Lavender. Very luxurious, creamy lather, wonderful scent, and nice post-shave feeling. At a cost of $26/puck I said I could do that.
Second WOW - VDH Deluxe. Luxurious, creamy...

Tradere OC razor
Personna Lab Blue blade
AoS soap or creme
Thayer's Witch Hazel (lavender)
English Leather after shave

C&E Nomad

And I think the AOS soaps now go for $30 a puck, not $26.

In my opinion AOS soaps fall into that category.

I haven't tried Arlington yet, am currently using Nomad (in the bowl), so I'd probably choose Arlington just to see if I agree with all the rave reviews of Arlington. With that said, the first time...

Ditto above for AoS soaps and cremes.

I'd recommend trying Art of Shaving (AoS) lavender and sandalwood, if for no other reason just to get it out of your system and to have another reference point. I prefer the soaps but the cremes are...

Hi Dazler and welcome to Badger and Blade.

I'm sure you'll probably get a lot of different advice here so I'd suggest that you consider it all before making changes. I believe that you can...

Happy New Year.

Well I like Jermyn St, but watch it - I'm a retired 60+ :)

Good luck on finding an appealing scent.

Best:
Tradere OC razor
RV brush
AoS soaps and cremes

Regrets:
CO Bigelow

I don't understand the "birth year" razor either, but I did seek out and buy a razor that is like the first one I remember having - Gillette slim. I feel quite a connection with it when I use it and...

Save some more money by shaving with a DE razor :)

I wish I understood the "clay" description. My property is essentially all clay and I only wish it smelled like my AOS soaps :) I guess my ability to distinguish scents isn't all that great. But,...

I'm curious, did the package ever arrive? It's well beyond the 11 days now.

Hi-Ho Silver! What a nice looking brush.

Deleted by poster.

Sometimes, if I need a very good shave (nothing missed and no cuts), I start with my Braun electric just to go over a mole so that I don't have to worry about cutting it and having to worry about...

C&E Nomad - I was reminded of how hard my water is. I finally switched to filtered water and that helped to produce a nice lather. Overall a nice shave.

I made it through this book in 2 days of heavy reading. It was interesting and educational as well as inspiring. I have been working all year to run through some cremes to get to the soaps. I...

Here's a hat like one that I've worn for years. It's a wonderful hat and I'd had many compliments on it. Nice...

I really like that watch! I may have to get one of those too. Thanks for the link.

I've been waiting for the Christmas sale to load up on AoS soap. It's finally here - 20% off sale! But, of course they have raised their prices so that even with the 20% off, I still pay $2 more...

My 3 best are my only 3, which are:

Tradere OC
EJ DE89
Gillette Slim

One of the first accessories I'd buy is a good camera strap, like a Domke Gripper Camera Strap 1" with Swivel Quick Release. Domke makes great bags also.

I can get by with a single pass but usually do at least 2 just to get rid of the lather I prepare. Two passes gives me a very good shave.

Tip 1: Do not let shaving become a hobby - keep it a daily task that you do.
Tip 2: Read Badger and Blade for enjoyment and knowledge building, but don't let it control your buying decisions. When...

Welcome to B&B.

I'm in a very similar situation even though I rarely miss a day shaving during the work week. Shaving has in the past just been a routine that I went through before leaving for...
