The Original Phoenix DOC Safety Razor - https://phoenixartisanaccoutrements.com ... fety-razor

I've got the razor in the Kickstarter campaign. I've also got 4 Schick injector (2 of which are Hydromagics). The Supply razor with the 2 dots plate was too aggressive for me so I've changed to the mildest plate (1 dot) and I'm getting BBS shaves compare to the ones I'm getting with my SE (my prefer...

Last evening had my first shave with Phoenix. Last couple of years I've been shaving with an Ever Ready SE and before this also DEs and injectors (tend to use a type of blade for a long time and then change). The SE's are my preferred razors, but ... Used an Edison blade (brand of locally [Israel] m...

As it happens, I've been using two Valet Auto Strops for about a week now. Originaly I've tried them (with no success) with spineless ( :-) ) GEM blades. It's not just the spine but the blades differ in their dimensions so the GEMs will not sit right in the Valets. But this failure didn't stop me an...

8.60$ - http://www.iherb.com/Thayers-Lemon-Witc ... 55-ml/6730

(It will be available, at that price, sometime. Not necessarily June 12 as promised. Registered customers can ask to be notified on arrival).

So today I'be tried those old blades. To put things in perspective, for the last several months I've been using a Valet Autostrop with spineless GEM blades, and lately my loved Gem pushbuttone with the same blades. Two weeks ago I've loaded the Hydro-Magic with a Persona blade (20 in a white plastic...

I'm not a collector. So .... in a few weeks, I'll take a little vacation from my usual SE, will use the "new" Hydro-Magic" first with a modern blade and then with the old ones.

Will return to report.

Just received this Hydro-Magic. OFCOURSE I'm going to use it ! That's not the question. The razor itself seems to be unused - the blank blade is still installed. And with the razor came a (probably full) Eversharp Hydro-Magic blades cartridge. So, should I use those, or leave them as is ? What do yo...

About 10 minutes. Ever Ready (GEM) razor

Just won those 2 on eBay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330074229429 Please .... don't ask me WHY. I'm a GEM guy but those 2 were such beauties ... I just couldn't resist. And they sure will look fine near my new brush .... And I'm sure I would like to try them ..... What i...

Except for being SE razors - they are TOTALLY different. The Injector is an excellent razor, very forgiving and certainly recommended for beginners. The GEM type razors ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS. The Ever Ready razors are more forgiving then the GEM themselves in my opinion but even with the...

The letters speak for themselves : Mine - (07/11/2006) Hi. On March this year I bought a Vulfix #2198 (through ClassicShaving). I DO enjoy using it, but .... The brush is shedding hairs. At least one hair and sometimes up tp 4/5 hairs daily. The brush is in daily used, washed and shaken dry after us...

If you will settle on an Ebay source, try this one : http://cgi.ebay.it/Proraso-Rasiercreme-500-ml-Profi-Packung_W0QQitemZ290041684238QQihZ019QQcategoryZ47930QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem It's on Ebay Italy, and he says he only sales to Europe - but just contact him and ask for airmail price...

Hi Joe I don't know if you have any str8 honing experience, but it would help. You may be disappointed if you don't sharpen enough Couldn't wait. Honed the blade as per the instructions and stroped it last night, and tried it this morning. Not sharp eanough... so I went and finished shaving with my ...

But right now I'm looking at my new aquisition - a Rolls, and cann't wait till I try it. They sure don't make such beauties any more.

BTW - there are so many new/almost new Rolsl for sale - no one actually used them back then ?
