Well, my situation on this topic is a bit different. A few years ago I bought a bottle of Trumper's Eau De Quinine. She dabbed a bit on her wrist and that was it. SHE wanted to use it! She said it was a wonderful Summer scent for a Woman. What am I to make of this????? I've noticed that the contents...

Hello Sal, We should now dub you: "Sal the myth buster"! You have defied the myths, legends, and terrors involed with the "Devil's razor". By now you have found that the slant is just another razor. Treat it with respect and you will get a respectable shave. Bravo to you. May you...

Lyrt,

Ken, I too have a black Gillette Tech. I got it from my Great Uncle's estate. Mine has a black semi gloss finish. It looks virtually brand new. Mine is probably a WWII vintage as well. My razor came in a small black leatherette case with a pack of gold colored Gillette Thin blades. The blade box has...

Sol,

You could browse through them while waitng for your shave or haircut. Monty retired a few years ago. I got to know him a little bit. His nie...

Ken, At my last shave in London, the barber had to finish my neck off with a...hold on for this......FUSION razor! My neck was getting so tender that he said it was his only alternative otherwise my neck would have looked like raw meat. I felt slighted but I didn't want to have my neck cut to shread...

Thank you Gordon. I'm honoured to have you as my first responder. I've been wet shaving all my life (started on my dad's Rolls!) I got caught up in the multi-blade craze for way too long. It's great to get back into the old double edged blades. I came across Trumper while on holiday in London many y...

Good Evening Gentlemen. This is my first post as a new member. I have been "reading the mail" here for some time and wanted to jump in with a bit of advice for you chaps that purchase razors from the online auction sites. I just received a '59 Fat Boy that appeared to be in great shape. Th...
