Klinker, you do supply some beautiful photos of your shaving tools and supplies.

Thank you for putting the effort into portraying and presenting them here for our collective enjoyment.

Re: Tabac After Shave and Eau De Toilette

As I recall (relying on somewhat volatile memory), when Tim was studying, experimenting, and making his soaps, he found that stearate was the magic ingredient, in first or second place on the ingredient list.

Re: Cream versus Soap?

It seems you timed it well for quality products. Though not as extensive as your collection, I really liked Valobra shaving soap, so I have a pretty good hoard of their shave sticks, later cakes, and Valobra-made Art of Shaving cakes. I also have a hoard of razor blades that I'll never get through i...

I haven't heard of J. M. Fraser for awhile. Are most of your creams old classics?

Re: What Did You Hone Today?

That's a disappointment, Chris.

For the most part, I do all right on eBay. But occasionally, I get burned, too.

Re: Cream versus Soap?

Murray - How do you control slick/cushion? What helps make it more of one or the other? The amount of water in the mix? Hi Gene - Yes, I make a wetter lather. I'm not sure if I work it any longer than others, but I need to work it and keep a certain amount of water in it while I do. - Murray

Re: Cream versus Soap?

I've hardly ever used creams, as I have always simply preferred soaps in concept. I'm mystified, Chris, that you are getting closer shaves with the more cushiony creams.
