3P pre shave cream, Cobra with Feather ProGuard blade, Trumper's Coconut cream, Dickinson's WH, Aqua di Parama Colonia. Yum.

Well, now that I've fallen in love with my new Cobra, I am currenty using a Feather ProGuard. I want to try the Kai's, but the price for them is turning me off.

I have retired my slant, but when I used it, I enjoyed Feathers, Trigs and Bolanzo blades.

I have a very oily forehead and t-zones. It's a good thing as you get older, as you are less prone to wrinkles. I use glassine tissues to blot the access oil off these places in the afternoon, when it seems the worse. You can buy them at a beauty supply place, or Google oil blotting paper. Don't ove...

Nothing except my ritual never seems to last long enough.

Too much tug, especially if the blade isn't moving smoothly over your face. If you get small weepers or cuts, it's time. I never let mine go that long. I have a thick beard on my chin and lip. The rest is pretty smooth, except some strays. A good DE blade lasts me about two weeks. I change it irrega...

I scored some of this a few weeks ago. OMG. I cried for weeks when they took my lovely best friend, the original Pro Red away. The only bright spot was the fact that I had seven old stock tubes stashed away. Enter the new and improved cream. YES and YES. The subtle, rich scent is delicious, as well ...

This guy was GOLD. I have done business with him for the last two years I've been WSing. Not to long ago, I was pondering the thought of what would happen if he were to go out of business. What then? When I saw that he was closing down his business "temporarily", I knew the worst was comin...

I've refused to hack my face with a straight (razor).

This has completely changed my mind.

I have had 6 Accords, two Passats and all of these cars were great, especially the Passats. In January, I traded my Passat in for a tricked-out 4-door GTI hatch. I thought I'd never drive a compact car again, let alone something with a 4 cylinder engine, but let me tell you, this pocket rocket ROCKS...

I really don't get this whole Twitter thingy, either. I mean, is anyone but myself so interesting that I need to hear about every breath they take or everytime they wipe their back end? I don't think so.

Thanks, Marc. I'm not giving up. I'll go back to the slant and try some more blades with it and keep at it. Thanks for your help. I actually took Marc's advice and have been using my slant exclusively. I can now say that my shaves are excellent once again. I have switched to an Egyptian blade and i...

When I first got my slant, I LOVED it. It always gave a wonderful shave. The last few months, I have noticed that my shaves are less than steller with it. I have tried using other razors and various blades and still I find my shaves to be average and of the quality I had when I first started wet sha...

Wilkinson's. Giovanni has it. It's as lilac as you could ever wish for.

I tried some last summer. The scents were nice. I'll leave it at that.

...and there's just some days you want to shave without any scent. Their unscented is wonderful.

Well, this is interesting. IMO, the Red was the greatest shave cream ever made. Too bad they stopped producing it. As for the Green, I like the shave, but the smell is annoying to me -- very medicinal and funky. Not a fan of "sweet" scented creams, either, but I'm intrigued, so might have ...

I'm not a fan of soaps, but I have an unopened jar of this and thanks to this thread, I'm gonna try me some tomorrow!

Not often that MB ink gets a thumbs up.

Great bottle though.

It works for me. I do notice that after laying on the paper after many days, it turns nearly black.

I'm too late, but the FROZEN onion soup from trader Joe's is sublime.

It's as good as the best you'll find served in a good restaurant.
