Best place to buy?

**doswald** · 01-03-2008, 03:36 PM

Newbie looking for the best place to buy a quality shaving cream. It sounds, from reading the reviews, that I would like to try an almond shaving cream. Is there a site on the internet where I could purchase different creams?

**daveesq** · 01-03-2008, 03:40 PM

There are many. Check out this list.

Incidentally, I've had good success with QED and ClassicShaving.

Shavingcream.com is good if they carry what you're looking for. The only old-school brand they seem to carry is Truefitt & Hill (although they do carry the Pre de Provence shave soap, which is fantastic and a great bargain).

QED is all you need to know, although checking out Vintageblades won't hurt either. I'm not sure if these guys http://www.shavingessentials.net/Home.html carry the creams you want, but they're good vendors!

I clicked on the link in my post above, and it worked fine.

(Has Charles added one more level of confusion to his website??!!

)

ahh, I see what it is, in Firefox it's showing up as nothing at all on the site. When I use IE, it is there. I wonder if they know about this. Lot of us firefox users out there!

**denissawyer** · 01-04-2008, 11:36 AM

classic shaving has a number of brands including their own.

I only use firefox and I go to qedusa.com quite often with no problems(and yes I do see the website)

Same here. No problems with Firefox.

**dax702** · 01-04-2008, 11:49 AM

well when I go there with 2.0.0.9 the page is blank. When I do a view source, I get this:

Code:

<html><head><title></title></head>

<frameset rows="0,0,*" frameborder='no' framespacing=0 border=0>
   <frame name="a" src="cat_script.htm" scrolling="no" noresize frameborder='no' marginheight=0 marginwidth=0>
   <frame name="b" src="data0.htm" scrolling="no" noresize frameborder='no' marginheight=0 marginwidth=0>
   <frame name="c" src="cat_SplashScreen.htm" scrolling="auto">

</frameset>
</html>

**biomesh** · 01-04-2008, 12:03 PM

That is the correct main page, but it seems your browser isn't handling frames correctly or something is disabled. Make sure you don't have javascript disabled.

**dax702** · 01-04-2008, 12:05 PM

nope, javascript is enabled because I am building a website that uses it. IT's just coming up blank in FF, but fine in IE..

**biomesh** · 01-04-2008, 12:09 PM

My only other suggestion would be to disable any plugins/extensions you have in firefox.

+1 on QED. Super fast service, great prices and shipping, and lots of really cool stuff. Pick up a shave stick while you are at it! And a razor...and a saville row brush...and some QED after-shave balm...and...OK, I better stop.

Under the "Help" tab, click on "Check for Updates"
It should upgrade you to 2.0.0.11, which is the current version of FF.
Perhaps that'll help.

**dax702** · 01-04-2008, 02:14 PM

ok cool thanks, updating to the latest version fixed the problem, whatever it was =)

Great! Glad I could help.

Further to that, check "tools", then "options", "advanced", "update",
and check all boxes that are under the "automatically check for updates to" header.
