Re: Electric Razor Rap

Since this thread has been largely about negative experiences with electric shaves, I feel compelled to offer a counterpoint, as my experience has been different. I didn't come back to classic blade shaving because of any dissatisfaction with electric shavers. I did it out of nostalgia, when I saw t...

Re: Synthetic Siblings

Those are good looking brushes, Gary.

Re: Review of the "new" Mitchell's Woolfat

From the ingredients list, aren't sodium laurate and potassium laurate detergents?

I guess the purist in me hates to see a proper soap corrupted in this way.

Re: Cats

I'm a cat person, too. My Joey is twelve years old and he was a rescue. Someone dumped him, as a small kitten, in the parking lot at work. A coworker found him and brought him right to me. He appeared to have been weened and separated from the litter early, as he tried to nurse on any loose skin and...

Re: Tabac After Shave and Eau De Toilette

As I recall (relying on somewhat volatile memory), when Tim was studying, experimenting, and making his soaps, he found that stearate was the magic ingredient, in first or second place on the ingredient list.

Re: Cream versus Soap?

It seems you timed it well for quality products. Though not as extensive as your collection, I really liked Valobra shaving soap, so I have a pretty good hoard of their shave sticks, later cakes, and Valobra-made Art of Shaving cakes. I also have a hoard of razor blades that I'll never get through i...

Re: Cream versus Soap?

I haven't heard of J. M. Fraser for awhile. Are most of your creams old classics?
