By Blue Box I mean these which are as of now only available in Europe and you need to order off Ebay such as I did to get some: https://i.imgur.com/UTYLWmO.jpg Some reviewers were saying that these were smoother than the regular Platinum that has been available for years. This one: https://i.imgur.c...

You will have to disgorge them one blade at a time and then load each one into an empty injector magazine. It's easy. You just have to be smarter than the razor.

I see that Bullgoose is now selling this rare & touted injector blade here in the USA now:

Oh, don't be daft!...

You lost me at that.

MWF smells like the old female perfume White Shoulders if I recall.

Gee, I'm sorry I tried to offer merely a pointer on how to make this soap work. I'm done.

I use Glycerin to lube razor threads and also TTO mechanisms. On a whim I used a French formula for improving shave soap, but with a current made puck of Williams shave soap made in the USA. The biggest complaints against this modern version are that it can be a SOB to lather and lacks glide. I cut ...

pausted gifted me a small container of this and it is a superb vegan soap. It is very much like Sudsy Soapery vegan soaps IMO. These are two vegan soaps that bridge the tallow "gap" in performance IMO. The secret is to bowl lather as pausted said with these soaps and use very little water as opposed...

I have the soap and AS, but I find that the days between usage are further & further apart as the extremely powerful & lineal scent becomes overbearing.

brothers wrote:My main issue with injectors, any brand or vintage, has been that they're all too mild and leave stubble. I haven't tried this new one. Maybe the next version will be quite a bit more efficient in removing whiskers.

Not the G Model IMO.

FWIW, a perfect match scent wise for the Speick stick in an AS/Edt is this:

I have a regular Tuxedo and also the fan shaped Tuxedo knot as well. It is the best synthetic knot money can buy now, bar none. I favor the fan shape as I face lather.

...As for carbon steel blades, Treet Dura Sharp blades (PTFE-coated carbon steel) are among my favorites. I prefer carbon steel for knives, as well. - Murray PTFE on baldes is new technology (post WWII) as was the Personna 74. That was what I was describing. I have used many Personna 74 blades and ...

How the razor positions the blade is critical, and I think improvements have been made. I think an Edwin Jagger is more effective than most old Gillettes, and my Mergress (not as new as the EJ) certainly is. Gillette's design of adjustables was inherently flawed by the fact that they couldn't raise...

Hi Clive - I think the market for vintage razors is soft, in general. The choice used to be between Merkur and vintage razors. Now there are so many new razors on the market - and they often outperform the classics - that demand for vintage razors has largely tanked. - Murray I do agree that nowada...

I have several samples of their soaps and they are indeed good, with their Orange Patchouli being my favorite.

One of the best modern Gillette blades made IMO. Try a sample here:

New to me but probably old hat to others. Since my fellow cavemen invented the brush and the multi-pass shave, I've been re-lathering the whiskers between passes with the brush just as I have been taught. Yesterday I accidentally forgot to re-lather and conducted all 3 of my passes in one sweeping ...
