Waiting on some soap samples: Siliski Soaps: Patchouli blend, Santa's Pipe, and Masculine Musk. Not much info about this artisan, but the lather videos look promising. Plus I love trying lesser known soaps, since many have become favorites. Wild West Shaving Co: Calmity Jane, James& Artimus, Pony Express, and Rose Dunn. Wild West has excellent performance and unique scents with many to choose from. Have yet to try a scent from them I didn't like. Really looking forward to these scent profiles.
What do I have to do to find a birth year razor, the journey will never end. I have searched all over the world and still can't find it. Can someone please help? Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk
I finally decided to get a scuttle. I chose a Georgetown Pottery G20 in Hamada & Blue. I also chose one of their seconds as they are $40.00 instead of $65.00 due to minor imperfections. I talked with a rep from Georgetown Pottery and they explained the imperfections in the seconds are usually just a few pinholes in the glaze which does not bother me at all considering it will save me $25.00. I cant wait for it to arrive!
Too big and heavy for me. Why do guys like the big handles? I think a lighter razor gives me better control.
I don't like big handles, I like handles that balance the razor properly. Depends entirely on the weight of the head. A too light handle -- the Common Bar Handle on the New is my favorite example ain't no fun. 62g is fine for a bunch of heads I'm guessing -- same as 3" Karve handle pictured.

Coming soon in the mail from Canada the Christopher Bradley Razor with a 98mm (110g) long handle comes with four different base plate aggression from A to D A - 0.60 mm B - 0.73 mm C - 0.85 mm D - 0.98 mm The other 3 base plate I'm not getting which are the AA - 0.47 mm E - 1.10 mm F - 1.23 mm
You ordered four plates? I've yet to read reviews of the mildest AA and A plates. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
I have two Rockwell Razors 6S and 6C both are v2.0 Rockwell base plate aggression FYI below Christopher Bradley base plate aggression FYI below AA - 0.47 mm A - 0.60 mm B - 0.73 mm C - 0.85 mm D - 0.98 mm E - 1.10 mm F - 1.23 mm
Yes, have seen the comparison. I can say that the Karve D plate does not feel like what a Rockwell R8 would. And yet I'm baffled that anyone thinks they need anything more efficient. I don't see great benefit with the F plate. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
