Yea will surely do that, once I headed to my desktop. its almost 4 in morning here so sleepy right now

 

I've never had to travel with my DE razor. Do they make a big deal about it when you go through TSA?

 

Pardon me sir, may I know what is TSA? M new here so I m not aware of much shaving terms u mention in ur reply

 

No blades on aircraft. DE razor is okay in cabin(no blade). SR, checked baggage.

 

The TSA is the Transportation Security Administration. The security at the airport

 

35 years here, interchanged with twin blade cartridges (which are also good in my book).

I tried foam exactly twice in my life. Horrible stuff in my opinion. But if it works for you, that is great!

The one big thing I learned on this forum is synthetic brushes. I have used boar and badger brushes for all my life, but sold or gave away all of them, and only have two synthetic brushes nowadays. One is an Edwin Jagger Silvertip Fibre, which is the best brush I have ever had. The other one is a Whipped Dog synthetic, which is not far behind.

If you have sensitive skin, and want to try soaps or creams, then I can highly recommend trying a synthetic brush.

Have fun!

 

I see your questions are well answered. All I will add is welcome to the Den.

 

I spent a few winters in Snowhill nawth Cackalacky driving a cotton truck for a gin. Very good people in that part of the world.

 

Done

 

What's happened to me is that I get such great shaves now using a DE or SE I can skip a day, add into the mix my hair is now white..

 

Did you started shaving with DE recently? Or you are a regular user from years? How bout water? Cold or hot?

 

To address your question about shaving products; some guys use canned shaving foam with good results. Many prefer soap & a brush. If you have never tried that, you should.

 

Never tried with hot water? if yes, how was the experience?

I hope you enjoy it here. All DE razor blades are not created equal at least as far as your face goes. You just need to try as many DE blades as you can to find the ones that are best for you. Blade sample packs are one way to go. Blades that work well for me in my Stally shave head and Gillette "NEW" OC are:
Polsilver Super Iridium
Astra SP
Vikings Sword
Seven O'clock yellow and green
