Re: not sure

There is really no way to know for sure BUT 11th use on the blade AND 4 passes might have to do something with it. You have probably put a little too much pressure and took some extra skin off with not so sharp blade.

Re: Turned another handle today out of Stainless Steel

It looks great! Is it slippery when wet or you hold it on the knurling?

Re: Speick Men Active Shaving Cream & A/S Lotion is here!!

It does have a new scent. I know it was supposed to be the same as original with "modern" scent, but I think they've missed on it, I prefer original.

Re: Need pillow advice

If you have a Medical Supply store near by, the one that distributes to hospital, nursing homes, etc., stop by and ask for advise. Believe it or not, they are way more professional than any store that sells pillows, they also have access to all brands and will get you a deal.

Re: Italian Almond Croaps

The Vitos that Brian is talking about is Red with Coconut, there are 2 varieties of Red with and without coconut.
ABCBA is really really good, we just had another group buy and 15 shares went fast. Joe did mention that he is working on getting it under his label but this might take a while.

Re: Shavemac finest badger

Finest and D01 are not the same. Finest is closer to Simpsons Best, D01 is packed more and has a stronger backbone. That said, finest has very nice face feel.

Re: D.R. Harris Marlborough soap

Gary, I wish I could do what you do and use up a product in a month, must be great satisfaction in that. Still, it's hard to believe that DRH cake only lasts for about 30 shaves.

Re: Single vendor

Does it have to be a single buy? eBay would be the place, I guess.

Re: Floid Blue vs Proraso New Formula

They do not have similar scents, to my nose anyway. Blue has more powdery scent and little less menthol kick.

I like the face feel but the scent is not my favorite. I think it's the new formula :twisted:

Re: D.R. Harris Marlborough soap

They do make great soaps, reasonably priced too. Arlington is not me however, Windsor all the way. It's the only scent that I have in soap, cream, aftershave, and EdT. They just started shipping Windsor Milk to US vendors, so I will be getting that too =P~

Well guys, there is a split going on another board. We are in for at least for 2 bricks. Not sure of details yet but maybe we can get 3?
