I have been shaving with the CJB for the past few days. Unlike my Weck Sextoblade, with Fromm hair shaper blades, the CJB with Feather Professional blades, seem less likely to cut, nick or cause irritation. I was even able to adjust the angle to a slightly steeper one without any issues. The only pr...

I have had a couple of Feathers, and found them very effective. If you plan to use daily, be sure to keep a very low angle of attack and use as little pressure as will keep the edge on your skin. Otherwise you will thin your skin until you become red and raw. Great point! What you stated relates to...

I finally got my razor. I had quite a bit of trouble with the postal service. Even though I tracked the package, and it showed that it arrived at my location, they had trouble finding it in their system The postman even lied and stated on their tracking system that a delivery notice was left when on...

These razors sell for about around $15 in Korea. You can actually order them from the Korean website, if you can fumble your way through the Korean. However, shipping is rather high. The price will end up around about 30-50 dollars for one. This is still a whole lot less than Feather razors. The qua...

Were I to use such tools (all of which are inferior to a straight razor!) :lol: :lol: As someone who uses mostly SE razors I have to agree with that statement. At least for me any way. I have been a single edge user for quite some time with only one DE remaining in my collection (a Gillette open co...

Quit messing with that Heavy Flat Top. What you need Sir is an Ever Ready patented 1924. The one with a collar under the head where the handle screws into. :lol: :lol: :lol: Seriously, the tricks with SE razors are the shaving angle, pressure, and maintaining a flat shaving surface when using the ra...

For a DE razor look for a used Gillette open comb three piece razor on everyone's favorite auction site or in the for sale forum here. SE razors are all cheap so you should not have any problems getting a hold of a few of them. Try a few of them out and see which one you like. Maybe your whiskers ar...

For more on my particulars, as my member name implies, I have some facial hair/shaving issues. These include ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and sensitive skin irritation, as well as crazy directional growth in some spots and some hairs that basically lie flat on the skin . One of the bigest problems w...
