Arko is a far superior soap at that price point - but if you want a bit of nostalgia...

Welcome to the forum FTJ - a Schick Krona is an excellent suggestion - might also want to consider:

- 50's SuperSpeed
- Blue Tip
- Adams (Merkur) - very mild razor and perhaps even consider a
- Fat Boy Adjustable

Congratulations Phil! ...I'd like an appointment for 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 25, 2015.

I don't think it matters... Clyde is prepared to pay! Nice to hear from you KAV!

I've been back on a big brush kick over the last couple of months - from 28-32mm and luvin' them!

Used my Kent BLK12 this morning and its the epitome of a luxury shave -

That would be ideal. And in every hair ever offered, Pure, Best, Super, and Extra Super (Manchurian). And I'll have to buy another house in which to store them all.

You can move in with Dr.P afterwards...

Sam, I use Pelikan, Sailor, vintage Parker and Schaeffer - I really enjoy them all, but have a particular affinity for my Parker's as this was what my father used.

The recommendation to speak to Richard Binder is an excellent one as well. The man knows his stuff.

Merry Christmas everyone!

BBB has no teeth... it's pretty useless because it uses a passive model to try and resolve issues.

Great, thoroughly enjoyable interview - thanks for posting it. We should get this Moss fellow to join our group...

Very much enjoyed seeing that process. I have a Dirty Bird Bill Bowl and enjoy using it - only problem is my larger brushes clank around the edges of it. Problem solved in my Ayars lather bowl!

Nope. Unfortunately, it didn't work - got nailed by the web filter - "proxy avoidance"... smart b*sterdidos...

Virtual-Browser is a web proxy that bypasses website blocking on corporate networks, schools, repressive governments etc.

Thanks Craig! I'll give that a whirl - hopefully the filters will allow me to access the site!

That brush be DEAD... Contact Mark - I'm sure he'll sort you out...

They've blocked access to forums, newsgroups etc at work... I'm now reduced to using my iPhone... sigh...

Our IT guys have blocked access to SMF!

B*sterdidos...

Have I, II & III - use them occasionally with I being my absolute favourite...

This is an excellent soap, a bit pricey but a great performer. The scent is a little on the cologne based side...
