FS: Wilkinson Sticky
Here's my Wilkinson Sticky, cleaned and in excellent shape. Works easily and locks tight. These are increasingly hard to find as they were not on the market for long, having been introduced right before the cartridge shaving trend hit. $90 with free shipping in the US. http://s18.postimage.org/qz909...

I will not boil razors. I will not boil razors. I will not
I've had some success with boiling all-metal razors in water, Super Speeds, nickel Techs, etc. I know not to boil gold-plated razors. I don't boil anything with a plastic handle. But I've pushed the envelope and dipped plastic-handled razors in boiling water to clean metal heads. No problem. So I go...

Beefy 1940's Super Speed on eBay (not my auction)
Here's a seller who thinks he has a beat-up razor worth little.
What he has is a vintage 40's Super Speed that looks like it's going for peanuts. Clean it up and it'll look like new.

I believe it is the castor oil that makes it feel greasy. I read somewhere in wetshaving searches that castor oil is one of the slickest natural oils. I have a bottle of pure glycerin and, in moderation, it is rapidly absorbed. Castor oil is a different story. I was going to order some Musgo Real AS...

Tim, The K-mart near me has Florida Water. Sally Beauty Supply has some kind of bay rum - I forget which. Mike The nearest Sally to me has Masters Bay Rum. I bought some Pinaud Clubman as a consolation prize for not finding Osage Rub. (There's a Sally farther away that more men's toiletries and mig...

I notice Battlestar Galactica has that nice Merkur product placement. Darn. Makes me want a Merkur Vision. Just what I need -- another razor! The scene in The Untouchables especially with the Hitchcockian overhead camera shot makes me think of the real-life murder of Albert Anastasia, ironically hea...

Re: Last Tango in Paris
This is the famous shaving scene from Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris (1972) , starring Marlon Brando. I remember when I first saw that movie. The actress was hot. Heck, the whole movie was hot. Even now I'm not looking at Brando shaving, I'm looking at Maria Schneider. It was an in-your-...

And I saw 99% rubbing alcohol on Amazon, but didn't want to pay shipping. My drugstore had the 91% stuff and it seems to work for me. No offense, but if you're going that high in alcohol concentration, try Everclear at your local fine spirits merchant. No shipping cost and it can be used for other ...

6-Bladed Razor?
Apparently, our friends at Dorco aren't satisfied to put out a superior mild DE blade for us retro Luddites. Heck no. They're playing the big boy's game. They've announced they're going to release a 6-bladed razor, going the Fusion's main blade array one better! It's called the Pace 6. http://gadget...

I found a well-known cream by TOBS really bothers the heck out of my face. But the ingredient list is the same as most other shave creams. I mean really the same, except for proportions of ingredients. There are no suspicious ingredients like jojoba oil or aloe or whatever. So the ingredient list is...
