Hey guys, First time back in ages so hello to you all, old and new! I pretty much stopped coming here because I was getting more interested in shaving and shaving equipment than in actually shaving and practising. Consequently I haven't bought a single new piece of gear in months and months and all ...

nothing too special, a pair from Marks and spencers perfect range.

They are lovely though.

I went for some cream to soak in and i'm gonna give em a buffing tomorrow morning before work.

Tone

the cologne I saw the other day has the chain on.

I am still baffled as to the difference between the splash and the aftershave!

just leave them as they are, doesn't matter if they are wet or dry they don't need special arrangements.

Thank you to whoever moved it. Sorry.

Now, back to the hints and tips

Is shavemyface.com really about shaving? I never knew...

There are countless subjects on here about other gentlemanly past times/grooming and I hope this isn't out of place amongst the others.

I bought myself a lovely pair of new shoes on the weekend and as much as I want to keep them as they are I know I want to wear them outside eventually! Now I am well versed on cleaning/shining worn in shoes but have been investigating what to do with a brand new pair. I have read differing accounts ...

but is there any actual difference ingredient wise? Or in what they expect them to be used for?

I will try the cologne, sounds good thanks

Could anyone enlighten me on the difference between the splash and the aftershave? In my experience you get twice as much splash for the same price as the aftershave, the ingredients list is the same and the aftershave is mysteriously green. Also I find the splash to leave my face smoother. Finally,...

Any cream can be used both ways

Try them and see which you prefer

it is absolutely fantastic, probably the best cream i own or have tried.

Tone

never, one of the most annoying things ever. I usually just give directions to the nearest cashpoint and/or shop.

I tried this this morning for a test, it was horrible! worst shave in weeks and weeks.

Think i'll stick to my 3-5 range

Tone

in all fairness this is pretty ridiculous, i never even used it and i'm still qualified enough to say get over it!

picked this up on the weekend and have used it every day since. I never tried the old one so I can't compare but I will say that this is quickly becoming my favourite product bar none! It is simply fantastic, lathers really well and easily, cuts smoothly and leaves my skin so soft it even makes me w...

to answer the question - no.

If you want another brush for brushes sake then I'm sure you will get one, don't worry, we are all looking for that extra justification to another shaving purchase

Tone

Welcome rocky, enjoy it here!

Based on your description of your skin type i recommend using a not fully closed merkur vision with rusted merkur blades and vinegar for lather

Tone

(ps, seriously i was joking )

stick to the same equipment for at least a month or two, more variables lead to worse technique as you can't nail down what's going wrong. Also, just have patience, the people this clicked for straight away are few and far between, just keep trying slowly and it'll come, it just feels right when you...

finally tried these, and although I don't like them as much as yellow 7's or crystals they are looking like a neat replacement to iridiums/polsilvers.
