Re: New "Black Label" injector blades from Supply?
Hello gentlemen, long time and all that. Paul contacted me about this, and it is interesting. Feather does have a factory in Seki. Other razor-related factories I found there include Nikken and Nippon Riki. https://www.nikkenkamisori.co.jp/ https://www.nippon-riki.co.jp/ Both do OEM manufacture, as ...

Re: Mystery Pics
Oh dear. I knew there was a reason I stopped visiting these forums.
That's a thing of beauty, and I'm starting to feel itchy.
I hope you get to enjoy it for longer than you expect, Doctor.

How's Everybody Doing?
Hey all. Jim Rion here, in Japan. I was an active member here years ago, but fell out of the whole online wetshaving thing for various reasons. Anyway, I was just thinking about those days and thought I'd pop in and see what was up. It looks like a lot has changed...SRP is gone, the Shave Place is g...

Re: knot
I know that brush is sold, but if loft is 56mm then handle height is 60mm, since it listed as overall 116mm. I hope my math is correct. Alex Alex, using my calipers, I measured the handle at 52mm and the loft at 63mm, so the overall height of this brush by my measurement is 115mm give or take. .......

*SOLD* Thäter 4125-4 Silvertip Brush
This Thäter 4125-4 brush was received new as part of a trade. It has been used about ten times. It has shed 3 hairs to my memory. It has considerable backbone and a lovely soft feel. It's the best badger brush I've ever used, but I am getting a two-band and I don't need two such high level brushes. ...

I have a Moka Express and love it immensely. I can have a lovely cupof the stuff in 4 minutes from the time I open the cabinet to get my pot, to the time I pour. That being said, it is not precisely espresso. It produces less pressure than a true espresso maker,and the crema is far less evident. The...

I have just finished (finally) Lonesome Dove. I don't know why it took me so long to actually read this one...what a book, what a book. I'm now knee deep in Max Brand books (huzzah for Project Gutenburg). I've also recently been trying to find books that are actually scary, as opposed to horror book...

I am in on a group buy on another forum (I think you probably know the one). I'm not a big brush man, but I am intrigued by the idea of getting things at a discount, and I have a Thäter I got in trade and find it exceptionally nice to use. If the 2 band is any nicer, I can't imagine I7ll be disappoi...

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, gents. Nice to see you again, Jim. SMF made great strides forward while you were away. Working together, we built an infallible database of the absolute best blade to use for every known DE razor. Gillette super platinums, right? We scientifically determined whic...

It's been a long time since I was here...longer than I can remember. But I suddenly felt a desire to return to my first wetshaving forum, where I took those first faltering steps into something that has grown so large...
