The best shave of all my razors

So I picked up this razor in a store for a buck even. It wasn't pretty, but it's in usable condition. It's the smoothest shaver I have, and it shaves closer then my adjustables! I've found that it likes to be used with Derby's, and that its best if I change the blade after each shave. What am I shav...

4 have them have since went out and purchased the whole gamut of shaving supplies!

ShaveTheBadger, answered my call, and really stepped up to plate. He put together a set of brushes for me that not only were amazingly pleasing ...

I dropped my gold progress once, and that was all it took. Now I have a nice spot on the top where there used to be gold. To me I feel the gold plating of the merkur's are slightly too thick, and pillowy so to speak. They don't have clean edges, or at least that is how I feel about mine. The really ...

Promoting Reimbursement

Since there is already a thread called paying it forward, I've dubbed mine promoting reimbursement, which is what Outlook came up with for a synonym. Regardless, here's the good stuff. I have in my possesion a few razors. All of them are beat to snot, but they are cleaned, sanitized, and in perfect ...

Calling All Valet Autostrop Enthusiasts

I have several Valet Autostrops, and I'm a bit hesitant to shave with them. I think it's because they are so menacing looking, but I'm dying to do it. I have a pack of new blades. Can anyone tell me what to expect, or any tips?

How often shoud I strop them?

WTB Shaving Kits for my groomsmen

I'm getting married Nov 4th, and I thought what a better gift for my groomsmen, then a wetshaving kit. The problem is my limitations. I'm strapped at $40 for each groomsman, and I have 7 of them. Here's the low down, I'd like to buy them each what they need to get started. Some of them already have ...
