Welcome to the Boards!! Valdosta, Ga... I spent some time down there while at Moody AFB... Nice place... I have yet to try Nivea, it is readily available too... Nivea is available at Target, Walgreens and Wal-Mart. The last bottle of balm I got was in Nicaragua and it came with a pump. Haven't seen...

I have a 1947 Tech and a 1957 SS. FWIW, I much prefer the Tech as it is a really mild razor. This suits my skin much better. The SS is also a great razor, but I do find it a little heavier and more agressive. The blue tipped SS is milder, while the red tipped is the most agressive. Of course YMMV. ...

Opinion:1945 Gillette Tech versus the TTO Tech / Superspeed from the late 40's to early 50's?
Which one shaves better by reputation? Any opinions on each one?

I like the Nivea balm also. And since it is unscented, using it under the aftershave or a nice cologne sounds like a good idea. I am trying to learn to shave with as little razor burn as possible and have found that good lubrication during the shave allows room for a quality aftershave.

I quit using high alcohol content aftershaves some time ago. Alcohol kills good skin cells and burns newly shaved skin! A few years ago I picked up a bottle of NIVEA ENERGY Revitalizing Fluid (aftershave) with castor oil, etc. It leaves the skin smooth and smelling fresh, without the burn. NIVEA als...

After a general cleaning with mild detergent or soap, Any reaon not to soak a used natural brush in Barbicide for an hour or so?
