I don't have any major disappointments, in fact I consider myself lucky that I don't have skin irritation problems and can use about any scent whether it be soap or cream. I have not really got on too well with soaps. They work okay and I get decent lather but I'm a bit disappointed I don't like the...

I think one concern with them is that it can get too warm and harm the bristle on your brush. I have never read of that actually happening but I suppose its possible. I just don't like electricity and the proximity of water.

I have an Emillion that seems to have one although it is not as noticeable as you indicated. On mine its very close to the top of the handle

I have a pot of the new stuff and it works very well just like every other scent from Taylors I have tried. I agree with Mikel though, the scent is less pronounced than the others from Taylor that I have.

I've yet to see anyone not like this brush. It is very soft and extremely dense and also feel its the most luxurious brush I have ever used. I almost bought a large size Alibaba this week but at the last minute ended up ordering the 2/1 with the horn handle instead. I would bet I'll end up with the ...

PM sent on TOBS

**SOLD** I have 140 Derby blades to sell, all in sealed packaging. Also will include a sample pack of sorts consisting of approximately 70 blades of many different varieties, Merkur, 4 different Wilkinsons, various Gillette brands,, Personnas, Treet. All in their original wrapping and some still in ...

I'd prefer to sell only in the US. You would have to pay any additional costs to Sweden. PM me if interested

****Sold***

This is the B5 model, soft pure badger bristle. This brush has been used only 3 times. I paid $85 for it and will sell for $50 shipping included in CONUS and include a tub of Proraso soap used only a few times.
Sorry but I can't do pics now.

Maybe, I was on Vintage Blades website and its still $34.99 there but the price of DR Harris has gone up.

Thanks for the replys. What I really want to avoid is a brush that has a lot of splay. I like the longer handle and shorter loft of the Polo 8. I just want to avoid a brush that splays all over the face and hope the Polo does not do that. From what I have read here the best grade would be dense and ...

I tried the Feather for the first time this week. Great shaves, no blood loss. Day 3 went well and I think I can get at least one or two more shaves out of it. I'll wait until I've tried a couple more blades but I feel very good about this blade. Its sharper and smoother than anything else I have tr...

I have often seen the comment that Simpson's "best" grade is more desirable than the super. Could someone tell me why? Is the best grade as dense as the super? the brush I am considering is the Polo 8. Thanks

I'm also interested in the group buy but have held off because I'm not sure what to expect. From what I have read of Shavemacs they are very good brushes but are on the soft side. Nothing wrong with that but I have brushes that are soft and I would like one that has some scrubbiness to it. I was thi...

I never got around to trying Feathers although I had a pack of them from when I ordered my sample pack some time ago. My Jagger Chatsworth had arrived and I thought might as well go all out here. So tried the Feather with zero problems, close and smooth non irritating shave with not even a small wee...

I'm a big fan of this razor and have been using it as my daily shaver for the last few months. If was perfect for my large size hands. Razors like the HD just have too short a handle for me. I don't find it unwiedly at all, in fact most of the time it feels likes its on autopilot.

Ameet, I asked this question recently on "the other forum" and found out that if you go to Shavemac's order page and click on " more info" you'll pull up a page that has both the blond and darker color. Just click on the various brushes that are shown and you'll pull up one to se...

I'd go a week or more on a cartridge change. They were so rough it didn't seem to matter if I was on the first shave or the 10th! Now that I know what a smooth shave is I usually change after 4 shaves.

I bought the Gillette slim adjustable and fatboy because I wanted to have vintage razors and both are good shavers. My everyday razor is a Merkur 38C. Last week I finally caved in and ordered a Jagger Chatsworth lined model. I don't know that it will shave any better than the others but I could resi...

Another one you might consider is the Savile Row 3722. Similar design but I liked it because the handle is a little longer. Knot is 22 mm. I like it quite a bit so far but have not had it long.
