    There is this danish shop, Med24: http://bit.ly/1e4pqWl

    I can't see where to switch language on the site, but the item costs $9 and shipping for EU close to $12. That's for the large 23ml. I have the smaller 9ml that is sold out at the moment.

    My final haul for January (and probably February, too, once my wife sees the bank statement.) A birth-year Gillette NOS, still in package, and a full box of blades advertising "Mark Twain Shirts."

    I finally shaved with the Bulldog this morning. A fairly close shave, but more irritation than other razors I've tried. I'll give it a few more tries.

    I married an accountant, so I asked for it . . . .

    Same here. Occassionally, I'll make it north of Ky., but only if I have to. LOL!

    I really like the St James. Maybe better than MdC.

    Really? That's high praise indeed. I'm more of a soap guy, but I'll try out the cream sooner than later.

    Just received my sample pack of blades from TSD, as well as a sample of Castle Forbes Cedarwood & Sandlewood (my first foray into blades and shave creams I can't purchase locally).

    What do you mean by a "smile"? I've also seen someone else refer to a "frown." Thanks for helping a newbie.

    A "smile" or a "frown" is a curved cutting edge when viewed as in the photos above.
    On a straight razor, if the center of the cutting edge is lower than the heal and toe of the blade, it is a "smile". :)

    If the center of the cutting edge is higher than than the heal and toe of the blade, it is a "frown". :(

    Ever seen the opposite of a honed out toe?

    I have not, but I'm sure there are some amateur honers who have gotten a bit carried away with heel grinding on their blades.

    Just home from 3 day stay at the hospital. I received Tabac original EdC. A member shared this deal at under $8. Wow! Also, I received 2 shaving sticks from Yeti. Columbian necktie and Yeti Snot. Plus a couple of samples. Can't wait to give all the above a shave. Happy shaving!
