    Aftershave Hall of Shame

    I think so, but if I'm going out to a restaurant or shopping, I'd wear something else. It would probably last too long for me. It's something that...

    Are there any blades you won't buy again?

    Dorco 300s, apparently honed on concrete. Painfully dull blades that I'll never buy or use again. In fact, they've turned me off trying any other...

    Vintage Gillette DE Razors

    My First DE
