Being a huge geek I usually read two or three books at once. Currently I'm reading the new Harry Potter, Weird in Pennsylvania and the latest in the Dragonlance series. I forget the name, but it's the most recent one. I'm currently looking for a historical biography of Julius Caesar, but haven't fou...

Just a few thoughts. First, could the outer shell be made of ceramic or glass. This way you could heat up water in a microwave and the ceramic would keep the heat longer. You could still keep the inner cup made of aluminum. This would help with heat transfer. Also, a lid might help keep the lather w...

Ok, Ok, I get it, Gillette Blades Suck!!
After reading several posts here about Gillette blades and how they stink, I decided to do a test. I broke down, went out and purchased a box of Merkur Platinum blades from the shop that I frequent. I got them for $7.00. I paid $9.59 for the Gillette blades. I initially chalked this up to Gillette b...

Me too, but the idea of a shave w/o any blood loss is almost unimaginable. One of the reasons I don't shave everyday is that I just can't deal with the anemia associated with losing that much blood. Everytime I shaved I felt I needed to have some OJ and a cookie. The Mach 3, up to this point, has gi...

Big Difference
I thought I would follow up on my shaving experience with the Merkur Vision. I usually only shave once a week because of the irritation and ingrown hairs. Last night I had enough growth to accomodate a shave so I decided to try some of the tips I picked up here and see what difference, if any they w...

I also shave with a Vision and was just introduced to Baxters. I think that the balm works great although I would have to agree that the scent leaves a little to be desired. It kind of reminds me of Pledge furniture wax. I did get a sample of Sharps hydrating shave balm and while the scent is better...

Just thought I would throw my two cents in here. The inner liner, the one the cream actually sits in, is a softer plastic than the hard outer container. I believe that because it is softer it is easier to get a seal to keep the moisture inside. I never thought of using the outer plastic as a mixing ...

I have been using gilette blades in the razor. I lost the ones that came with it long ago. After reading some tips I have been using short slow strokes with the grain to get my face used to shaving with a different type of razor. I find that I have to have the razor open all the way to get a decent ...

Need help with Merkur Razors
Hello everyone. I have been lurking on this board for a couple of days and have finally registered. I have been wet shaving for years usually using a Mach 3, Trumpers cream soap or Crabtree & Evelyn's bowl soap and an extra large silver tip that I purchased from Shavemac. I had started my shavin...
