I used shave oils in the past. The first time I felt I was on to something great. By the 5th or 6th shave my neck was all red and broken out. Took about 3-4 daily shaves w/o shave oil to cure it up.

Looking at both those razor heads side by side I cannot imagine how one might be more aggressive than the other. I use both heads regularly and cannot see it. To add to the confusion, I find slight differences in my shave between the Merkur head on an HD vs a Merkur head on the smaller handles. I mu...

This happened to me once many years ago with a German badger brush. Needless to say it was a very expensive brush. The brand was Autruche. Not too sure about its origins. It's a brand that is sold in Razor's Edge stores throughout Canada (Centre de Rasoir in Quebec). I pumped the brush and it was at...

Grated 3 Arko sticks into a hard plastic container with lid. Works great. Reminds me (consistency and not smell) of the Body shop soap in a tub. First practiced with a small piece (size of my pinky) of Trumpers soap into a coffee mug and got about 10 more shaves out of the product. Trumpers soap gra...

Funny how some Semogue models resonate clearly in one's mind after so long while others....in other words, I had to do a quick google image search for Semogue 1438 and exclaimed...Oh ya..THAT ONE!! :-) Ed, I have the Semogue 1305 and 1800 but recently passed on the 1438 and do regret it. Do you like...

Same here -- I can make better espresso at home than most places. The Rancilio Silvia is the perhaps the best home espresso machine out there for under 1000$. It also has a really good resale value. I had mine for 2 years before I even decided (read: Knew) to do actual maintenance (i.e. backflushing...

Thanks Bruno. Not too many catch on that it's NOT Jason. He's my favorite too and represented a time/era when we were all spoiled rotten with victories and expected them.
