Suggest you try Tabac soap in a bowl and compare that with lathering on your face. I find I get excellent lather when using a bowl or mug. Lathering on my face has given me only so so results. For me it takes 50-100 swirls to get the best Tabac lather. With Proraso, just 25-50 swirls and Im good to...

If you have the pieces, I suggest trying to reglue them back together. I have some stuff called GORILLA GLUE and it is amazing. I use if for just about everything. Also, you might try your local hardware store or auto parts store. They have rubber vacuum hose caps. They often come in a variety size ...

I use the Bic Metals, too, primarily when traveling. Often, just one or two shaves with the Bic Metal then into the dustbin it goes. By using a Metal, I don't have to carry my best Merkurs around and it gives me some variety, too. But I am also impressed with the shave quality that I get from the Bi...

If you have a mole in the shaving area, seriously consider seeing a dermatologist and having it removed: simple office procedure. I agree. A couple years ago I went to the doctor and had a couple of facial moles removed, simply because I nicked them ALL the time whenever I shaved. I am really glad ...

Ive collected, ahem....several, maybe a dozen tubes of Palmolive shaving cream. (Just couldn't resist at $1.88/tube) The more I use it, the more I like it. I dont think the smell is bad. I sorta like it, now.....otoh, I like o-dee-skunk, too...just kidding. Seriously, everyone should try Palmolive r...

I use a Bic Metal whenever I travel. I also use Palmolive brushless shaving cream (the green tube). I get a very good shave with this little combination. But when Im at home, I use a Merkur HD with Israeli Personna blades and a badger brush. Im suggesting that the plastic Bic Metal and the Merkur HD...
