C&E is the noly place I can find them. A while back someone mentioned a tube wringer. I think my local Hobby Lobby has them. You can find them all over online. I would prefer a key. I'm going to check locally at the arts and crafts stores. If ican;t find them I'll probably order them from C&...

John I have instructions for loading the injector. I know it says injector twin blades but it's the same process for the single blades.

Hope it helps.

I agree with you Scott. I have seen other seller's that have really high starting bids or high reserves. This seller had a low starting bid of $9.99 and no reserve. The two nitwits bidding really screwed thenselves. I no doubt expect to see this razor re-listed due to a non-paying bidder On the othe...

Wow! I'd rather buy a new brush. I am fairly new and I have several Gillettes and Schicks. Have not paid more than $25 for any of them. In fact I got a brand new Schick in a can for a little over $15. Albeit not adjustable but who cares? I have wanted an adjustable but for $200? [-X It's really frus...

Charles at QED does carry it. I received a recent order from him in which he included a sample strip scented with the Musgo. Smeelled pretty darn good too!

Wow John that is an awesome weapon. I have only one gun at this point and with my new found love for shaving creams and brushes I don't think I'll acquire more anytime soon. I have a Glock 17 with the high capacity mags also bought pre -Clinton. Been wanting to get a subcompact for concealed carry b...

Well I'm 26 and I guess a "young guy". Every guy I know shaves with the canned puke and disposables. Glad I saw the light. Though I am not sure I am better off. In three months doing "this" I have amassed 4 tubs of Taylor's, a tube of Trumpers Violet, tub of Proraso, cake of Em's...

More Kudos for Sue

First off Sue provides tremendous customer service. I had ordered some new spice cologne a while back and the post office lost it. I just happened to mention it to Sue and see if she shipped to correct address and of course she did. Anyhow, I ended up ordering her sub mug with Sandalwood and she was...

What kind of Dopp/Ditty/Toiletry Bag do you use/like?

I am looking to update my Dopp kit which I've had since highschool which is made of nylon and is quite beat up! I would like to go with a leather replacement. Any recommendations or suggestions?

Thanks,

On the backward stroke you angle the the razor up a touch so that it doesn't drag on your skin. My understanding is that the blade should only be on your face for the forward stroke. But like I said I am fairly new to this and I'm sure someone else will affirm or correct me. I do remember asking som...

Although I am relatively new to all this, my understanding is that you make one pass over a specific area and then without lifting the razor of your face you move it back from where you just started then you bring it forward again over the same area again. I believe it is intended for those specific...
