Looks great! Vermont Castings has the highest reputation for their wood stoves, so I bet that this will be very well made as well.

That's great news, Johnny, but I'll say another prayer tonight that the cyst turns out to be no big deal!

The Dorco Pace6!

It's mentioned somewhere else on the board here today.

Thanks Rich.

Squire, he told me that he sends everything Priority Mail. I'd rather save a few dollars and have it take a week, but I didn't want to make an unusual request for my first order.

I'm assuming you have a brush? Yes, NTS, I used a brush with hard soap for a number of years, although I can't say that I did it properly as shown in Mantic's video about lathering. Since moving to North Carolina, I haven't used the brush because the water is so hard here. Someone, I think Gordon, ...

I was in Rite-Aid again tonight, and I took a closer look at the blades that are ten for $9.99. They were Gillette Super Stainless made in Russia.

I take it you guys don't think much of those blades.

After studying the DE world for about a month, I placed my first order tonight, thanks primarily to your comments and recommendations. I called Giovanni at Tryphon and ordered: Weishi Polished Chrome razor ARKO regular shave cream Derby Extra Dorco Platinum Crystal Platinum Personna Platinum Red (Is...

Woo hoo!

Thanks Sue and Wendy!

I'm sorry I missed this thread before the 12th!

I hope you will post a link the next time a similar deal is offered.

Squire, your friends at razorandbrush.com say this: This is the famous Korean Dorco double-edge blade. It is a high quality stainless steel blade, with Platinum edge treatment and PTFE coating. The Dorco ST300 is an amazingly mild and forgiving blade. It cuts close and gives an irritation-free shave...

Thanks Alfred.

I assume that most DE users are former multi-blade cartridge users. Here is a link to a March 24 article about shaving in my local paper, the Raleigh News & Observer: http://www.newsobserver.com/lifestyles/fashion/story/1010973.html You will notice this quote early on: "Once the first blade...

Bonzo, they play in the Patriot League. I don't think there are any scholarships, but I could be wrong.

They've been pretty bad the past couple of years.

football - Georgetown Hoyas baseball - Boston Red Sox basketball - Boston Celtics auto racing - Wayne Taylor and Robbie Gordon plus all Canadian Football League teams In 1972 I had season tickets to the New England Whalers when they won the WHA championship. And in 1984 I had season tickets to the P...

Thanks again. I had very satisfactory experience using Surrey back in the day. Now I'll know not to shell out for the Col. Conk.

Norcross is 20 miles NE of Atlanta. Winder is 20 miles NE of Norcross.

I recommend that you at least consider Winder, where the real estate prices are still low.

Thanks, Squire. I'll look them up on the internet to see what else they offer. I went to my local Walmart again tonight, and this time I found ten-packs of Personna for $1.54. Also, they were down to just two VDH soaps, so someone else must be using them! Do you feel that VDH and Col. Conk are essen...

I like the Gillette 7 O'clock brand enough that I'm placing an order for five hundred tomorrow. Squire, 30 years ago I lived in Pittsburgh, and I had a friend who I don't think had much money. His treat to himself was to shave every day with a brand new Gillette Super Blue Blade. He used them one t...

Squire, when you say "similar", how good a blade are we talking about?

I can afford $20. for 100 great blades, so I don't need to save a nickel a blade for a month of bad shaves. But I am curious as to how good the blades sold in common stores are.
