SMF

The C&E is a medium (21mm) EJ best, not a small (19mm), FYI. So it's about the same price from EJ as from C&E, and IMO the extra little 'lip' on the C&E handle is a nice touch. Plus what Gordon said, it's available locally to most folks.

Ok, thanks. I couldn't find the size. My ...

That definitely good news. I consider the old cream to be very moisturizing.

I think that being natural or green is the new black.
I think, hope actually, they just try to add some market share and their old products will stay the same. You never know though.

The Vulfix's Simpsons do not shed

Actually that's not quite true (although my case may be the exception). I recently purchased a Vulfix made Simpsons T3. And it was a shedder. After about 2 weeks (and easily 30+ hairs) I contacted the vendor for an exchange. Hopefully the new T3 won't shed.

On ...

Hi,

Just contact Vulfix, they will take care of it (will send a replacement). The Vulfix's Simpsons do not shed; however, you might find that the bristles are a little longer compared with your current brush.

Yes, it's a boar (or maybe a horse hair) brush. It should soften with usage and the smell will disappear after several shaves.

Both are great soaps. Chances are that DR Harris will last longer.

Same here. I have always found their products to be of great quality.

I think they were selling it at regular drug-sores in Canada. I haven't checked lately though.

While boar is certainly cheaper -- you can pick up decent badger brushes at well below $50 -- and they will perform much better overall than boar.

Yes and no. From my experience, for an one-day beard, a badger brush will work better. However, that's not the case for 2-3 days stubble, I prefer a ...

In my opinion the Krona is a perfect razor for a beginner, and expert alike. I find it shaves me like an early American Tech, mild smooth and close. "Shaving perfection" even if it does feel 'cheap' compared to a Gillette. You can't go wrong with a Krona. The Krona's with metal tips tend to be a ...

No scent? They lie - it smells strongly of pina colada, or the old Murray's version of Erinmore pipe tobacco when it was made in Northern Ireland.

Flake please, not Mixture.

Yes, that was the case with the old formulation. The new Cremo-cream has a much lighter scent, still pina-colada ...

Hello,

I just talked with Classic-Shaving and they seem completely clueless (and sincere) about it. I'll have to talk with the owner on Monday though.
So, it is possible they had no idea about it and they do not deserve any blame. As far I could tell, they had no idea that I even exist (not exactly ...

Seriously, I've always found this forum a very congenial place and I hope it stays that way. Let's not get drawn into this butting of heads.

Hi,
As someone stated before, I did not start this. However, I'm guilty of perpetuating by keep answering to different posts that refer to me. So, I'll ...

Alfred there must have been some prior dealing between the 2 of you as they wouldnt have your ip address to block you from their site
by the way an ip address is not set in stone it would be quite easy to get round the ban by bouncing off a proxy server

Hi,

Actually, there have been no dealings ...

You suggested in an earlier post that you haven't spoken to Classic about this or that they had not contacted you. Maybe the best thing to do is to call Will up and explain the situation and agree to "trade" the URL's that each of you own that technically should belong to the other. I find that ...

Hi,

You have to be a Candian company, rezident or citizen to get .ca domain. The domain was recently purchased (as a defensive tool) and never used. They purchased fendrihans.com in June when classicshaving.ca was still available?!
Sorry, but I don't see how I stopped their Canadian expansion ...

We seem to be agreed that there are two problems:
1. Fendrihan should not have used the title 'The Classic Shaving Store' on eBay.
2. Classic Shaving have no business redirecting Fendrihan's customers by use of a look-alike URL.

Both problems are easily corrected if the two businesses are willing ...

Hello,

Also, I just wanted to add that the name of the web-site is Fendrihan and not Fendrihan's (or fendrihans).
