Yet another improvement on the home made scuttle.........matching soap dish $2.43 All together. neatly on countertop Razor and brush for size comparison.
At the moment I find the Gillette silver Blue, can be paired with any my razors. It works very with my open combs.
Thank you for this. I stop by Walmart on my way home from work today and picked up my $5 scuttle. I filled the mug up with hot water, placed the bowl in it, and whipped up a lather. I walked away for about 10 minutes. When I returned, the lather was still nice and warm. Great ingenuity!
Must be something with the insulation - or lack thereof - where I am; the only way I could keep a scuttle's worth of water hot enough to notice for more than 3 minutes is if it were on a hot plate.
I'm a newbie but the combo that's worked for me so far is my EJ 89 with shark blades. I'll try other blades as soon as my technique improves...but this gives me a close shave with zero irritation.
Amen brother! And if you fill the sink with hot water and soak the set up while you shower it stays warmer longer.
Fatboy & Viking's Sword Super Stainless Gillette Rocket HD & Voskhod Teflon iKon Slant & PolSilver Super Iridium Centwin Super Platinum are the blades I like in most of the razors, I don't see them in the shaves of the day, but they are nice blades. These are my pairings for now! It's nice to be searching for ideal pairings and nice blades
