Apparently this process does not work for you. I can except that but please do not continue to address the process as if it just can't be done and that Dave, myself and those who find it process successful in extending the life of their blades are liars. Please just leave it alone and let use do it...

Well I got a few days shaving out of the Merkur blade this past week. Good, really better in my opinion than either the Super Platinum's (IP's) tried, or the Derby's but it would be a tight call. Even so I wouldn't buy them again - they are just too expensive. More expensive than better blades. Just...

Not sure about baskets but even smallish handle-bar bags tend to be a pain with drop handle bars. I'd recommend a luggage-rack once that's fitted you can even fit on a lightweight plastic basbox with a lid, using velcro and a couple of bungees. You can get proper panniers or a big saddle-bag fitted ...

Will, what do you do with the blade and inside of the glass. I have heard about this before but I've never really understood the movements involved. By the way, I think hand stropping definitely helps. Mike Take a largish tumbler preferably with parallel sides place the razor blade inside the glass...

Any of the symbolism stand out to you in any way? Stiff tails you mention? Green wool? What are they accompanying you to? sounds interesting, so I ask I'm not sure - I think the stiff tails is a sort of contentment thing. The cats aren't going anywhere the seem to be companions or a comforting pres...

If you really want to get nuts try the Muhle R41 2009' version. Unbelievable shaver. Lighter then the 11C but slightly longer handle and they have the head down to a science. And any blade works. I took delivery of the R41 today. I like the longer and thicker handle, but would prefer it didn't feel...

Well having only ever had the Satin or brushed version rather than the shiny one I'll mention the following negatives: 1. I find that soap deposits seem to stick to it. It doesn't clean that easily. 2. Though the finish is hard-wearing it appears to be an anodized finished rather than any form of pl...

Weird Dreams
Sometimes when I dream, it seems I don't know what I'm doing and I'm watching my self doing it. A bit disturbing. Now I'm often accompanied in these dreams by cats rubbing up against my legs with stiff tails and (I think) purring. The cats are definitely alive but for some reason have the appearance...
