Is that a bit like using tiger balm?
Tiger balm seems to work in the opposite, by warming (I use it for my arthritic hands). Never tried it on my face mind, might be a bit strong (that said, I thought Vicks might be as well, but was not).

My only 2 razors are a prewar fat handle Tech and an AS-D2 and I agree with you completely. However, the AS-D2 feels better in my hand as the weight to balance ratio is really spot-on. At some point I'll experiment with some heavier handles for the Tech, but for now I'm pretty darn pleased with the damn fine shaves I get with my $12 Tech.
Thanks for posting the comparison of the pre-war Tech to the AS-D2. I think I'll refine my wishlist and start with the less expensive one. I could even afford to get one Rhodium replated most likely and be cheaper than the AS-D2.
What do you do with a "tube roller"?
That I need more practice with the shavette.
TOBS Jermyn Street after shave smells amazing but not too sure how well it soothes my skin (tried the cream today)... They should have a splash one with the scent that I can put on over my normal after shave (not that I have found one I really like yet).
Leaving a two day growth before shaving allows me to achieve a really close shave.
OMG! Vaporub gives me instant skin burn! Probably the eucalyptus.That Vicks Vaporub makes a great preshave! Insane cooling capabilities, ice cold shave.
Klar yKabinett is not my holy grail soap.
