Arran's/TJ Maxx 2nd Chance?
Gents-- I went by my local TJ Maxx today, and lo-and-behold, there as another one of the Arran Aromatics vetiver gift sets (shaving cream, aftshave soother, body soap, face scrub, etc.). Those of you who missed getting the shaving cream the first time around may get another chance. It was clearanced...

Johnnie-- I agree with Vince; a decent shaving brush and some good creams or soaps will make a night-and-day difference. If you live in a halfway decent sized city, you can probably find an inexpensive boar brush (~$5-10) and a cake of Williams shaving soap (~$1). Just using those two things will gi...

Brush vs. Face
Gents-- I've recently been contemplating the choice of shaving brush. While badger obviously the way to go generally, does the quality of badger seem to lend itself to certain beard types? I have one of those tough, dark beards like Homer Simpson--almost a permanent five-o'-clock shadow. My first br...

Taylors "Finicky" with Water?
Gents-- I recently tried some samples of Taylor shaving creams (Shaving Shop and Avacado). I had a very difficult time getting the right conistancy--it was either too foamy/airly (too much water) or dried quickly (not enough water). The other high-end creams I've tried (Trumper and particularly True...

A Great Trade
My wife and I visited her parents this weekend. We hadn't seen them in several months, and various birthdays, holidays, and anniversarys have gone by, so it ended up being partly a gift-fest. My father-in-law recently returned to wet shaving on the advice of his doctor, as his skin was very sensitiv...

Re: Hard Soap review: Williams Mug Soap
. I have no access to the other classic drugstore types - Surrey, Colgate, or Burma. Speaking of these, I was wondering if anyone had tried them? Particuarly the Colgate. What does it smell like? I might pick up some Burma tomorrow at Eckerd..it's cheap anyways. I haven't seen Colgate in any drugst...

Chris-- I've been curious about the M3P for some time but I'm wondering if the better shave has to do with the vibration itself or the improved cartridge. If you get an opportunity to use an M3 or M3T cartridge in the M3P handle (or conversly, an MP3 cartridge in a standard M3 handle) I hope you pos...

Charles-- If you look at your profile settings you'll see an email notification selection (near the bottom of the page). You can also select notification by individual topic (checkbox at the bottom of the message compose window). Unfortunately in both cases the email you get only says you have a pos...

Concord Shaving Brush?
Gents-- Anyone have experience with Concord shaving brushes? I came across three brushes in a small gift shop in the little town I live in; the sales woman in the store didn't know anything about them, other than she thought they were Italian-made. One was obviously boar, another was probably pure b...

QED "Man Soap"
Gents-- I received my order from QED yesterday. Along with the items I ordered, a sample bar of the QED Man Soap (Pepperming) was included. I had a chance to try it this morning. It lathered very well (even with the hard water I have to put up with), cleaned well and rinsed off easily, and the peppe...
