Three Shaving Related Products You Want to Try in 2014

I still haven't tried the last item on my list— the Cobra—BUT, I have been fortunate to be allowed to try another terrific razor that, in hindsight, should have been on my list: the Barbasol Floating head. This razor has completely impressed me! FINALLY, a vintage DE razor that shaves as close, comfortably and aggressively as my modern Mühles. Plus, it is a brawny, knurl-handled razor that simply states, "A Man's Razor."

p.s. If you happen to see one come up on ebay, please do not bid on it. I am certain you will not like it and instead, go for that coveted Fat Boy you've always dreamed about.

 

TOBS Sandalwood
MWF

So, I wrote the above in early January....
Now, 3 months later, I have only "achieved" #1 but have experienced so many more and different products that I don't think I three months ago even knew existed.

If you made a post in this thread months ago...it may be interesting for you as well to go back and see what you thought you'd be trying

 

All three have been accomplished with the use of the Gillette Big Fellow New today. Great razor.

 

Done, now to use up all of the other stuff I've acquired!

 

1.) Lavender Marseilles Soap cube
2.) Merkur HD Gold
3.)Any microfiber cloth to lather soap.

Check out Simply7 Skincare! $5 aftershave balms, I bought every flavor they had for like $25 lol.. They are excellent!

 

Cella. I hear so many good things about it.
A slant bar and open comb.

 

To continue to add to my never-ending 2014 list:

• an SRD Premium 3" strop
• MdC Fourgere

 

WD Synthetic brush with a custom ceramic handle. On order, should be here in another month or so.

Update
Well I thought I had completed two out of three when I tried arko and smelled sandalwood. Now I realize I wanted to try bayrum not sandalwood. Time to try to convince SWMBO to let me buy one more item for my den.
