Hi Fup -- lots of nice folks here with plenty of suggestions. Your Astra SP blades are my personal favorite! There are so many choices in the...
North Carolina and Tennessee should be lovely this spring. Your trip sounds like fun to me! I like shaving with my "skeleton" travel gear. Unless...
I think it looks great! I did a similar refurb on an ancient William's boar brush that had been badly mistreated. It's just a cheap plastic...
If you want a DE razor with medium aggression I would suggest one of my favorites: [IMG] iKon Shavecraft 101
