Currently on shave 27 with my Fusion....after testing this "modern" razor its back to my DE, SE and injector rotation.

Since I find my sense of smell only works intermittently this might be
just the cream.......on some days and not others I suppose.

I am using a tube of proraso Red...in rotation to add a pinch with Williams soap...great super lather.

The open comb appears tempting

It has been suggested on this board that Gillette will dull down the blades of their cartridge razors when new types come on line....has this been alleged concerning their DE line?

I have a razor rotation that features DE, SE and Injector razors. I move the blade from razor to razor for my DE shaves, 14 per blade. Do the same for my SE shaves, 7 per blade. While I load each of my two injectors with a blade and use it for 7 shaves. Almost forgot, I do hand strop the DE and SE ...

What "affordable care" did was to make the federal government bigger and to reduce our freedom. The goal is to destroy the middle class, and that's always been the goal. The last chapter of "The Limits to Growth" draws it out for anyone who can just read it and realize that the ...

Of course, the devil is in the details, and there are thousands upon thousands of details to be worked out.

Squire,

After reading a few glowing reviews concerning the Martin de Candre that
you mentioned earlier in this thread I suppose I should ask where can one get the best price? 50.00 - 60.00 dollar range

Trumpers Sandlewood-

But then my selection/experience is limited compared to many here only
a dozen soapes or so-

I own a Contour 2 SE which comes up periodically in my rotation. GEMs from
the local drug store seem sharper and smoother than the 200 that I ordered in bulk from Ted Pella with the ptfe so perhaps I should have ordered the carbons

How does it feel to learn that we are now serfs
According to chief justice Roberts our government, under taxing
authority can now require everyone to enter into private contracts
with private parties against our will. Wow-

Your in the right place Ross for great information.

Picked up the 20049 model..........not as soft as the badgers but
wow on lather.

Seamus I would toss them. I've kept blades in open containers exposed to the heat and humidity of our Deep South Sub-Tropical climate for more than 50 years without once experiencing any fungal growth. If you must use them I would give them a deep soak in alcohol first. The blades not you! :lol:

I wasnt really referring to your post exactly. I had actually seen some peoples "Shave of the Day" posts and one user put "Not EVERSHARP" by his injector type. Was wondering if they are no good or whats wrong with them. Also would like to know what some good year and brands are ...
