But then there was the electrical system in my Triumph TR3A. Maybe things weren't always better in days gone by. On a serious note, can anyone provide the date when the old Tailor's ceased to be and the new formulation came to pass? There's a reason why Lucas Electrics were known as the Prince of D...

Check the blade is straight and firmly clasped by the razor head - older injectors will sometimes work loose. You do know to use it with the face of the top plate flat against your skin, don't you? Then drop the handle just enough that it cuts hair. I don't see how one can go wrong with an injector ...

Yeah, I'm not going to walk up to random Iraqi citizens and ask about wet shaving, I prefer to actually come home alive. :D If you need wet shaving supplies, go to www.classicchaving.com Shipping is very good, well priced and they have everything you need. Thats who I went through. Good luck. I was...

If you like that look, this photographer is into postprocessing in similar ways. He changes his image galleries quite often so it's worth revisiting.

Faisal, I'm just 'Chris' when I'm here. The differences are readily apparent: http://www.shavemyface.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10019/L1000481.JPG These are both Simpson bests, but the Duke is what I'd term a 'brown' whereas the Chubby is less desirable kind of 'white'. The Duke is the same as most...

I've had Simpson bests that are so stiff that I cannot use them (CH3), stiff but came around after persisting with them (CH2) and sheer delight right away (D3). There is a huge variation in hair quality between the best of one model and that of another. Now I think about it, 1 in 3 is a better outco...

Does the Colgate foam come in Violet, Coconut, Sandalwood or Rose? That would be a factor to me. The most important part of getting a close and comfortable shave is in the preparation of the beard, and once the beard has been softened it is certainly possible to shave well with Edge gel. I'd miss th...

I used the new style Avocado cream this morning, along with a small scuttle, my Sabini finest and Big Daddy. The cream is less dense than most pots of the old style cream, and it takes a good deal less water before it becomes runny. This will necessitate adjusting your lathering practices a little i...

It was a special production run, and about half of them have jammed up. :oops: Bernd Blos is looking at them and seeing what the problem is (I e-mailed him today to ask if he has any answers for us yet). Provided this problem can be solved, and provided he feels confident it won't re-occur, there wi...
