First off, I'm using an older Gillette Tech donated by a member here! AHHHHH! Razor of the gods! :shock: 8) Second, someone said put this back in the drawer? How long do you guys use a DE razor for? I believe the recommendation to move it/them to the back of the drawer referred to the blades, not t...

GOOD MORNING, MFER!! I will also throw into this mix: don't judge all of the Gillette 7 o'clocks based on the blacks. The yellows are my goto standard. I use a Tech razor all the time. I have tried both of the greens (yes, there are two different green 7 o'clocks) and the black, and they don't hold ...

GOOD MORNING, SMF!! I love my Techs!! I have a 56 and a 65 that I use on a regular basis. The head design on the two is completely different. Going strictly from memory (since I am at work not at home right now), the 56 head (the part with the screw that the handle attaches to, as opposed to the &qu...

Congrats, Pachuco!!

Also, congrats to all who are celebrating milestones coming up (15 yrs, 30 yrs, etc!)

Looking at 17 yrs in August myself.

BTW: the honor guard would look pretty cool with straights, I'll bet!

I am a DE user and my initial motivation was geater economy and improved personal hygiene. Straight razor and strop are on the long list of my economic recovery plan. The initial cost of a quality straight and strop are the primary barriers. .... GOOD AFTERNOON, SHAVEJUNKIE!! Along the lines with K...

If time is an issue, and you need it now (or very very soon), then Folgers Black Silk is pretty good. For the long term, I can recommend the Screaming Eagle Blend or the Organic House Blend at http://greenbeanscoffee.com/ I also get bi-monthly deliveries from Gevalia; my favorite is the Signature Bl...

FS: JM Frasers Polar Ice Cream...Traded

GOOD EVENING, SMF!!

I have a tub of Frasers Polar Ice shaving cream that I love, but it is too harsh on my skin. I have used it approximately 10 times. (Hope springs eternal, right?)

Asking $9 shipped CONUS, $8 plus actual shipping elsewhere.

Thanks!!

GOOD MORNING, SMF!! I know...I'm late to the party. I have an empty soda can with a slit cut in the top. I've had it for about a year. It will be a long time before it's full. When it does get full, I plan to put it into a recycling bin. My wife throws her broken sewing needles and bent pins in it a...

GOOD MORNING, ALL!!

I just received 3 Techs from Woofer. He packed them very well, and reassembly was a breeze! In fact, 3 of my daughters were drooling over them talking about how pretty they are.

Thanks, Woofer!!

GOOD MORNING, ALL!! Ed, that is a very nice-looking razor! I use a 1956 Tech daily (for 16 months). I have tried a couple of different superspeeds, but they just don't do it for me. One thing I will mention is that in my experience, I need blades that are considered by many on this list to be more a...

Hi, Tom! Don't get too bummed about the Burt's Bees cream just yet. I bought some a little over a year ago and used it sporadically. Then I just happened to try it as a superlather (a cream + a soap) with Col Conk Lime. Oh my goodness! A WONDERFUL SHAVE!! I am loving that combination. I would sugges...

GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN!! After disappearing into the woodwork for a while, I have returned. I appreciate your answers to this question. The fractions make sense, then, for most situations. However I have seen some with fractions greater than 1, so that means the blades are wider than 1 inch, I pres...

Looking for recommendations for long handled razor

GOOD AFTERNOON, SMF!! I just recently introduced a friend of mine to DE shaving due to skin irritation issues shaving with multiblades. He is also a head-shaver. I gave him a Tech and a SS, and he is loving it! He did mention that he would like a razor with a longer handle, so I am coming to you spe...
