WTB: Feather DE blades

Well, after trying LetterK's famous sample pack, I am now a confirmed Feather man, no doubt about it. In an attempt to preserve my last blade, I went back to a Derby and an IP with disastrous results. So I am in a dire need of feeding my Feather habit, gents. Is there anyone in these parts hoarding ...

Quick question about Schick Injector...

I just bought this: http://i2.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/86/64/7adc_1.JPG I am wondering if the head is brass, or some other metal coated with a gold plating or sorts. Cause if it is just brass, I'd feel better about my chances to really clean it up and make it shine. Either way, I figured I couldn't go w...

I'd be willing to participate in the name of science.

I've only been wet-shaving for about 9 months, but I use both soaps and creams. I don't know if I qualify.

The bristles on my brush are 3/4" long, I just measured. I don't know how I can convey exactly how stiff the bristles are, but it's almost like brushing your hair with a wire brush. :lol: The brush also doubles as a great back-scratcher, it feels great. Basically, I don't know that it is possib...

I tried to get a 77 SS, as it is also my birth year.


I haven't had any luck. :cry:

I have an Omega silvertip, and while it is very soft and very luxurious, I don't think it's the best with soaps. I use it with soaps from time to time, but I think it's better suited for creams.

I love the brush though, it's really good looking, too.

Good deal on a nice military brush

I doubt this is anything new, but I thought I'd pass it along. I just received the brush I bought from http://giftwagon.com/bathgifts.html. I wanted a pure bristle brush without having to shell out for a Kent. This one seemed to fit the bill and I am happy to report it is a nice little brush. I boug...

There is no way I will use Proraso in the winter.

But it is great in the summer.

You may be able to just set up group buys with certain vendors for a specific product. I think that is a fairly common practice. For example, if I was able to work out a deal with Classicshaving for a group buy on a Vulfix brush. If I could gather 10 buyers, the price might be $100 instead of it's n...
