New Wilkinson Sword TTO (not the classic plastic version) available in Germany
Hello Chaps, Haven't posted in quite a while... I managed to break(!) my trusty Merkur 34C HD recently and was about to start hunting for something to replace it with, as it is what I have used daily for the last few years. I was planning on bidding in the usual place for a Gillette tech, when I cam...

gdc, Just be aware that very few non-adjustable DEs have the weight of the Gillette that you use. The Merkur HD is as beefy as most and you say that it feels too light to you. This stuff is mainly a matter of what one is used to. Razors like the Gillette Superspeed or Tech used to feel kind of dink...

WTB: Gillette Tech
Following the reccomendation in a thread I started here http://www.shavemyface.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=51653 I'd like to buy a Gillette Tech, the normal version ie not the fat handled or travel variants. I'm based in the UK, in case anyone doesn't want to ship there. Many thanks in advance for any...

Re: Feather Popular TTO
Interesting. Is the Feather TTO a similar weight/size to the slim adjustable?Tucker wrote:For your needs, I recommend the Feather Popular TTO. It is a wonderful, albeit mild Twist To Open Razor that works well with Feather Blades. It comes with two blades and retails for $20 here in the U.S.

Alternative to a slim-adjustable for travelling
Hello everyone. I would appreciate some guidance on a purchasing decision, as you have all been so helpful in the past! My daily use razor is a Gillette slim adjustable that was once my father-in-laws's. I generally use Feather blades, with the razor set to the least aggressive setting (1). I would ...

Softer soap sticks similar to TOBS
Greetings. I've been using sticks recently, and have been very impressed with the TOBS sandalwood - I like the softer soap compared to other sticks I have tried (Palmolive, Speick, Boots, Tabac and DR Harris), however I'm not such a fan of the TOBS sandalwood fragrance. I know they do the St James a...

Disappointed with Vulfix Picadilly
Gents, a while back I bought a Vulfix Picadilly from Connaught http://connaughtshaving.com/piccadilly.html to use as a travel brush, and I have found it disappointing - not much backbone, rather thin lather and too scratchy. I am a face latherer, mostly creams, some sticks. Now, I was not expecting ...

I'm a big fan of Speick, but have always preferred the stick to the cream (the scent of the cream being a bit much for me). As I'm generally a creams guy, this was a bit of a revelation! The After-shave Lotion, however, is a superb product in my opinion. I regularly try different creams and soaps, b...

Boots shaving soap
Good day all. Having recently devoured a pot of Taylor's St James cream rather quicker than I was expecting, I decided to try something a bit different, and picked up some Boots shaving soap (in the black plastic tub, not the stick) from my local branch (about GBP£2.50) . I'm not normally a soap per...
