Re: Am I the only one who missed the Gillette "Heritage" DE Razor?
The Jagger head is the same as the Muhle closed comb head. I think Muhle is the manufacturer. Chances are that these heads that Fendrihan offers are also by Mühle. "Chrome plated", but they don't say if it's on brass or zamak. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0812/3241/products/FEN-CPHD-...

Re: What do you shave with
You may select 1 option There's yer problem. #-o 1) Soap 2) Cream 3) Stick The answer is "Yes". Also croaps. That being said, most of my shaves are with creams, or cream&soap superlathers, but Mitchell's Wool Fat soap may soon become my favourite. I don't know if you can change it at ...

Re: Shaving soap or cream of the day
Tonight I used the Fendrihan Charcoal cream. Fendrihan Charcoal scaled_0529.JPG :shock: Looks (and smells) strange, but works about like most TOBS creams. "A dynamic fragrance that combines cedarwood, sandalwood, musk and vanilla." - If they say so, I guess. As I mentioned elsewhere, it co...

Re: Shaving soap or cream of the day
Jan 28 - Mitchell's Wool Fat Luxury Shaving Soap First time using this stuff. My goodness, it is an excellent soap. I let it bloom in hot water during my prep shower for this first use, and I had no problem producing lots of creamy lather, with a Stirling 2-Band synthetic. And . . . how handy that i...

Re: Cheap shaving tools guide for a newbie.
Regarding alum blocks/sticks: Typical sticks, like the Omega or RazoRock, are 60 g. Blocks can be from 54 to 100 g or so, cost somewhat more, and are hard to hold (for some people). For close to the price of a 60 g alum stick you can get a so-called "crystal deodorant" that is 120 g . But ...

Re: What are you reading?
Halfway through reading the script of a play that my wife is writing, titled "Tell the Bees".
It was inspired in part by this folklore thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telling_the_bees .
