i personly beleve its down to the number of blades in cartrege razors I haven't used a DE yet, but this is very much my theory too. The irritation I get is always around my adams apple. I only go over it once with my fusion and always WTG. Because there are 5 blades, one pass must be similar to doi...

Also, I find no need for a warm water rinse after shaving and the moisturizer might not be needed either, especially in summer. Sometimes simplifying is key - it has been for me. Funny you should say this. This morning after I shaved, I didn't apply any balm or moisturiser to my face. I just splash...

I'm still thinking that the small, style 1 in silver tip will be the one I go for. I lather on my face and never in a bowl and haven't had any problems with my small Floris brush in this regard. Speaking of which, does anyone know who makes the Floris brushes? I ask because it is for sale in the sel...

Rooney brushes
I'm planning on buying a Rooney shaving brush to replace my Floris Pure Badger. Executive Shaving (UK) have the following: Best Badger, Small, Style 1 - £36 Silver Tip, Small, Style 1 - £41.40 I'm thinking Silver Tip as it costs only a little more and would be gentler on my already sensitive skin. A...

Advice noted. I used to get a shaving rash on my cheeks which ultimately made me go to see a doctor. It was diagnosed as a simple bacterial infection to which I was prescribed cream. I now get no irritation on my cheeks. However on my neck, no matter how gentle I am i.e. apply NO pressure and only g...

Doug, What a great collection! I can feel the envy inside me!! :D Seriously though, well done on the No 89. Im a dedicated wearer and i know you'll fall in love with it. Nothing else compares IMHO. I have just bought a bottle of Floris JF in their summer sale which was very reasonable priced. I'm no...

Greg, I've just purchased a new BMW-Mini which has a 6-speed manual gearbox. As far as I am aware, the 6th gear is primarily added to increase the fuel economy of the car when cruising at 60+MPH by further reducing the engine revs. Hence there is poor acceleration in this gear. I'm no engineer, but ...

Advice on my post-shave routine
Gentlemen, Can any of you recommend a good routine for post-shave? At the moment I'm using Clinique's post-shave balm and to be honest, I don't really find it particularly helps the redness on my neck. Sometimes, it seems to simply make it worse. As a result, I'm going to ditch it and move on Would ...

I've noticed a few people here are having difficulty getting Floris to send them a sampler of No 89. Luckily here in Britain they appear to be a little more generous, and this true classic is now my favourite fragrance which I wear almost daily. If anyone who is having difficulty getting a sampler w...

Ren is right. I always used to apply the spray type of cologne directly onto my face after shaving, but this proved bad for my skin. To avoid irritation i simply apply it to the back of my neck, chest and wrists-the usual pulse points. In my experience, the cologne is certainly more concentrated tha...
