Bump!
Looks like my gilette isn't worth a Murker, the horror!
Okay, how about I throw in a Wing Sung 237 in red celluloid. If this your first FP, I'll throw in 1/3 of a bottle of Waterman Havana Brown to go with it.

Menthol is found in the entire mint family.
Basically, unless the mint is synthetic, it conatins menthol.
Menthol and camphor are both topical anesthetics, and safe to use on irritated skin.

I guess that you don't use Proraso then ;) My hair is very stiff, I have no problem getting it to stand up. The lubrication provided by the jojoba oil more than makes up for any negative impact of the White Flower. Remember, I am using a few drops in 2oz of jojoba. ps, camphor is the promary ingredi...

Re: Gillette / Wilkinson duopoly?
AFAIK a few very small niche players are discounted when examining the market structure. The wet shaving market is indeed, as you have pointed out, a duopoly. The combined market share of all others is small indeed. You are forgetting about disposables. American Safety Razor and Bic are the two maj...

Market price is based upon what the consumer is willing to pay, rather than what the product costs to manufacture. They are related in that a company will not sell a product that will not make a profit. This principle governs DE and str8 equipment as well. Consider high end cream. Do the production ...

I am drifting away from aftershave alltogether. When I first started shaving I used what my dad used: Old Spice. Man did that stuff sting! After a few years I started using cold water because it seemes to help more than the aftershave, and cost a hell of a lot less. A few months ago a tried Nivea se...

DOVO shavette?
What is your opinion.
I am thinking of trying it out as a cheap and easy intro to str8 shaving.
What do you guys think?
Do you use the long or short blades? Can you break regular blades, or do you have to use special blades?
Most importantly, how does it shave?
