As much as I like the smell of Bay Rum, I have abandoned the thought of having bay rum soap in my meager arsenal. Every one I tried either dried out my skin or gave me an irritating tingle/burn. Well, thank goodness for bay rum colognes and splashes; I can appreciate the scent without the undesirabl...

I used a straight daily for about two years, building up a pretty good collection and doing restoration work and making scales.

...You see, we figured that the single blade el cheapo Bic disposibles were really pretty darn good, ergo, their DE blades were likely REALLY good....or so we hoped... And I thought I was alone in my thinking. Well, Sir, you put my thoughts into words better than I could do. Bic disposable is still...

I've never found the Harris Marlborough any good. There is something off putting about it. It's one of very few scents that make me nauseous. Jani, Sir, I completely concur with your point of view; I couldn't deal with the Marlborough stuff myself either. OTH, call me a farmer or call me a cheapo, ...

I have Kell's Original Ultra Aloe Blend Shaving Soap in unscented. I went with unscented because I like my soap scents to be very subtle, that's one of the reasons I like D.R. Harris Lavender shave soap so much. I was afraid if I picked a scented Kell's it would be a bit overpowering, like most glyc...

When I first started using a DE I went with Merkur blades because that’s what came with my first razor and I was unaware of most other blades, and I figured what could be better than good German steel! Then I discovered shaving forums where everyone was touting the sharpness of Feathers and being a ...
