Thank you for you comments and observations Gordon. They are helpful and useful as always.

I looked at it under a jewelers loupe and the metal looks very porous. I have a picture here and you can see what I mean.

I did not drop the razor. I tightened the razor the same amount as I always did only this time it broke. It does look like pot metal in there and I am going to pull out the magnifying glass and check it out as Ed recommended. I did send an email to the vendor asking for warranty information----I'll ...

My razor broke and left the threads from the head in the handle. I've had it for 13 months. Does any one know the length of the warranty? I'm bummed but I did get a good shave from an old Krona that I had.

I have to make myself shave with both sides. After so many years using carts, I was used to shaving until I filled up with goo and then rinsing. It was a hard habit to break but I did. Now it is shave and fill up then flip and fill up again then rinse. I can't go back.

You made me laugh too Harper!

I think that the tube has more menthol kick than the tub. That's just me though.

Thank you Chris.

I usualy use the tube Prorasso but my wife gave one of the tubs for Christmas. Is this supposed to be used like the tube stuff? For the tube, I put a bit in the bottom of my mug and then whip up a lather with my brush. This stuff in the tub is not hard like a soap but more like a thick paste.

WestCoast Shaving has them. I can vouch for the service there!

I got a free sample of it from Barberia Italiana a good while back and just finished it off---I mostly used it in the shower with a boar brush when I didn't have time for the Prorasso and the badger at the sink. It took me a couple of uses to identify the scent. It was exactly the same scent of some...

I love my EJ89L. A great razor.






Meh, heh, heh!

I've had cortisone in both elbows--twice in one of them. It hurts to get the shots but it is well worth it. My injury comes from my woodworking hobby---sanding by hand causes it. I have found that a wrist guard like you might use for skating protection is a great help(it was recommended by my doctor...

The Zune did things I didn't want it to do like try to arrange my music the way it wanted to, go get podcasts on it's own, shut off after bing paused for only a short time, the navigation seemed cumbersome, it would not save where you were in a song or podcast, etc. It sure was pretty though. My mai...

I bought one a few weeks ago and it just didn't suit me. I had been using a Sandisk e250 that was getting a bit long in the tooth and thought I'd try something new. The Zune was not it and I hate ipods. I went for another Sandisk unit. To get to the point, I have a soft rubber case and a couple of s...

Doubleplusgood shave.

I really do like the Iridiums but I have discovered through much use that it is actually my second favorite------my favorite is not listed here and that is the Kai blade. I need to get with Dridiot and get some more. If you have not tried the Kai, I suggest that you do.

I highly recommend westcoastshaving.com.

I have been thinking about adding HD radio. I have been getting up so early lately that the regular NPR newscast isn't yet on.

I have some hearing loss in the upper ranges---from many unprotected years in a machine shop. My tinnitus is mild and it only bothers me when I think about it---like trying to sleep when I'm not sleepy. I have been considering hearing aids but they are very expensive. If you don't mind my asking, wh...
