Thankfully I have not gone into many creams or soaps etc as I have favorites that keep me happy. Hardware on the other hand has built up over the years. It started as a noble enterprise to save razors and get them cleaned up and back to useful service. Unlike soaps etc the hardware has enduring valu...

Part of my pre straight shave mantra is a promise to myself to step back and let it fall if such should happen. So far I have only had to do that once and as luck would have it it hit the counter spine first and no damage. As I replayed the fall in my minds eye and imagined what would have happened ...

I too used one in high school and found it leaving chin and upper lip with weepers galore. I had two cartridges and stuck it out till the end of the second. It never really got any better. I went back to my Gillete Adjustable, Tech and sometime injector and never looked back. I kept it though and it...
I had a bunch of soaps that needed homes. I wanted something inexpensive yet with some class. Dollar Store - metal bowls with lids for a buck.
