Feathers have given me my favourite shaves so far, but only for the first use of the blade. At most I get two shaves out of them before they completely change in feel and become a poor blade. Swedes give me almost as good a shave as that first one with a feather but instead they last a good 5-6 sha...

Blade sampler pack
I have finally made it through the big variety pack of sampler blades, but only felt a real difference with the Wilkenson Swords and the Feathers. In fact, everything else was pretty much interchangeable for me - I've got a tough face, I guess. So I had decided to not waste $ and stick with the $1.5...

Wait...Bay Rum is a winter scent? I always thought it was fit for the summer months. When it's winter here it's summer somewhere else - makes 'em think you really get around (as in: just got back from a quick jaunt in the southern hemisphere, and have not yet had time to shower...)! And who in here...

Since this too sharp discussion has turned into a discussion of the merits of Feather Blades I'll put in my $.02. . . As will I. I got my first sample pack of blades about a month ago, and gleefully began working through them in the order suggested somewhere around here: Dorco, Merkur, Derby, Cryst...

Is it really the SAME Skin Bracer?
After months of complaining about my inability to find anything worthwhile shavewise at local stores (William's Mug Soap is fine, but that's been it) I finally walk into my fifth Walgreen's, and behold! One puc of that until today oh so elusive Van der Hagen's Deluxe shave soap! The last one, at tha...

Terry, you must have very hard water indeed... I do - worst I've ever seen. I have to clean my '63 Gillettes about every 2 weeks to get the hardwater buildup off of these wonderful machines. I grew up in south Texas, where straight out of the tap it was soft as rainwater and smelled of Bluebonnet a...

Well, I finally was able to get two pucs of Williams melted down into a plastic tupperware-type container with lid. As soon as I got in the shower this morning (I'm a shower shaver) I put a little hot water in the container and let it sit while I cleaned up. When I was ready to shave, I tipped out t...

$20 bucks and it keeps your wife happy. $20 bucks and it keeps your wife happy? Keep it. And then educate her on quality shaving products for you...and for her! Randy Very good point there, Randy. But she may not remain happy if I don't actually use the stuff. My beef is really that the JB rep KNEW...

Should I return this?
Well, my wife is trying to take a small part in my new DE shaving obsession. While in Nordtrom she saw a Jack Black stand, with the synthetic brush and all, and after speaking with (or being spoken to at length, I suppose, by) a JB representative she came away with some decent (I think) Post Shave C...

Bradly, Williams is inexpensive enough that soap conservation is not in the cards so load your brush with lots of soap. . . . With some determination and a lack of hard water , you should achieve enjoyable, close, and comfortable shaves. . . I am admittedly a few days late on this thread, but what ...

Two weeks with my '63 Gillette slim adjustable, and I want to also add my thanks for this excellent info. I do have 3 comments that seem appropriate: 1. Williams shaving soap: can find it everywhere here for the usual $1.50 or so. I am so in LOVE with the smell of this stuff! I can only think it's s...

No, those were custom made. However, after looking at your image above I realize I have some pipe racks that look almost exactly like that without the pesky things. Now I have to remember where I put them when I quit smoking about 15 years ago. Richard Goodness, man! I think you've hit on something...

Can one have too many razors?
I just picked up my second razor (another '63 Gillette), and in a flash of foresight, see myself needing a razor stand or rack. My brush and soap stay in the shower, but my razors need a good home while I'm away. For you gentlemen with more than one or two razors, I'd like your recommendations on st...

There must surely be many new to this forum, such as myself, who have not yet tried the types of creams we are discussing here. I've only recently tossed the Mach XII nonsense for a '63 slim adjustable Gillette (behold! a new day has dawned!), and am transitioning from KissMyFace to, for now, Crabtr...
