I have the EJ with the 89 head. I was using a Gillette long handled black adjustable at a 3 setting. I would say that the 89 is not more agressive but for me I guess the shave angle is far superior. Go figure. It is great with Iridiums and not so great wit Kai blades. I can live with that. So far, i...

I got a new razor
I have been using Gillette long handled black adjustable for a while and I have Weishi and a Krona that see some use. All of them are good but are really starting to show their age. I just recieved a Edwin Jagger #86 with the black handle---the same head as the Muhle R89. It is really pretty but tha...

Thanks for the kind words guys. Dave, I started with a solid piece of wood and drilled out most of the material on the drill press with a forstener bit then made a template for the router using a pattern bit and finished up. Really the hardest part was getting the slot correctly located. Mat, you ha...

Swanky blade disposal
What I did was make a "cozy" for my ordinary blade box. A little dab of hot glue holds it in. A razor knife cuts the glue when the box is full and a new one goes in. http://s3.postimage.org/m096A.jpg http://s4.postimage.org/7Rzt9.jpg http://s1.postimage.org/HOsp0.jpg I have some in the wor...

Well, my mother in law IS pretty cool. She has been cleaning out her house to sell and I have received two Kronas (in original boxes), an injector, and an Old Spice mug. BTW, the mechanical pencil in the razor box turns out to be from the mid 1800's. Are the pictures really not coming out? They are ...

Daisy Safety Razor
I don't have a Daisy razor but my mother in law gave me a box for one. We hoped there was a razor in it because it rattled but that turned out to be a mechanical pencil. There is a picture on the front of the box of a GEM type razor. Does anyone know anything about these razors? http://s3.postimage....

MWF after a couple of weeks
I have to say that I had some high expectations for this soap. I was not disappointed. It provides great moisturization and lubrication and the scent is very nice. I'm still working on getting the water mixture juuuust right. Something like two and a half shakes of the brush before dipping into the ...

Well now this is just wierd
I have this hard soap that I bought that was just impossible to lather. I was beginning to think it was me but my other soaps lather fine. I read some posts here that said that it WAS hard to lather but worth it. I tried it again last night (it has been setting sealed up in a Tupperware container in...
