Spent some quality time with the hones/strops this past weekend. Am looking forward to a few rewarding SR shaves in the coming days and weeks, encouraged by one of the best shaves ever from a big full hollow Clauss, the first test shave of the group. I haven't yet had a chance to test the most recen...

I will say that if someone can get past the crack in the handle of that Big Boy Deluxe, they will have as fine a shaver as any Gillette ever made. That is a bold statement, and maybe some might think it's too aggressive, but paired with the right blade, in my case , it's one of the best I have. It's...

Wasn't there some talk that the AoS creams are/were being manufactured in England? I guess that's not accurate, since the whole thing's now leaving for good. As a side issue, is it possible that AoS is completely shutting down all shaving cream and soap products, not just in England? I guess maybe t...

Re: Distilled Water?
Does anybody find that using distilled water while shaving creates a better lather? For sure, it does. Our house has hard water and it works just fine with creams, but soaps do not respond with the kind of lather they're engineered to create. It took me a long time to discover that I must use disti...

Today I used the Gillette long handled Super Adjustable set on 6. The shave was superb. I wanted to start out on 9, then 7, before actually starting and finishing on 6, but at those settings, the feel of the blade getting ready to take (what felt like) a chunk out of my skin on the first cut was jus...

I haven't used QC, so I can only offer a suggestion. If I eventually get some QC I'd be taking a slightly different approach. I've been in the habit of applying the stiffer products such as Castle Forbes and Harris Rose SC by taking a healthy almond-sized portion and rubbing it directly into the whi...
