For Christmas, my MiL got me the almond shave soap from classicshaving.com. I liked the Col. Conk one, but this - OMG. I want to eat it. And at $6 for the large one, I was shocked at how well it shaved. YMMV, etc., etc. But the smell is delicious. Here's a link to the soap on their site: http://www....

While I was there, they had a couple of John Bull's, and some Simpsons ( I know, same thing, I mean non-rebranded Simpsons like the CH3 I mentioned above). The prices were outrageous. He said he didn't have much right now due to the fact that the dollar is so weak against the euro. What I found funn...

MWF at Pasteur's in NYC
Don't know if I'm just out of the loop, or if this is a new thing, but I was at Pasteur's on Friday afternoon to pick up a few items for a friend and they had quite a few pucks of MWF! I didn't know there was a brick and mortar in NYC that was stocking it. I've barely begun putting a dent in my Kent...

Third shave with the WS...I stopped after shaving my head. I couldn't go on. It felt rough, and I was getting nicks. I wanted to remember the good times. Overall, she's a good blade for me. Smooth, gentle. I can't stretch it more than 2 shaves, though. So it is not one of my best blades. I'd certain...

I'm still trying to find the box mine came in. However, I did shave with it again over the weekend. Popped it into my Gillette H2. Whipped up a lather of TOBS Avocado. The shave was almost as good as the first. I could feel more cutting this time, but it was still smooth, with no red spots later. I ...

Wilkinson Sword review
Next up out of my bag o' blades was a Wilkinson Sword. When I first started shaving, I used a Gillette Sensor. Wilkinson Sword made a replacement cartridge for this razor, which always gave me superior shaves. I was saddened when I could no longer find them in stores. Needless to say, I was looking ...

Disposable? Like the cheap 5 packs of Bic's? He uses Mach 3's now. His GF bought him an AoS gift set, I pointed him here and to the Mantic vids. He's already getting better shaves, like I told him he would, so now he's gung-ho for DE. He's thinking of buying a weishi, but I was pointing towards the ...

It truly is a case of YMMV. It may even have been a bad blade. I have a friend who is looking to get in on the DE experience, and I might put together a little Sampler Pack for him, so he can get some experience with different blades. (Don't worry, I've already pointed him to the Mantic videos, and ...

Second shave with the 7am blade: Put it in my Gillette H2. Showered, lathered up some Kent WF soap. Dialed the razor to 2, and went at my head. Ouch! Went down to 1. Ouch! What an awful, awful shave. Nicks, tugging, just a bad shave. Things didn't get better when I went to my face. I have been DE sh...
