@Bookworm Only Victorinox for me. I may by one of these Wing Shui things out of curiousity. I am not an anti China snob if things are made to a...
Basically if you are getting tugging after one full face head shave then just do what's best for you and toss after one use if that gives you...
Go for Polsilvers then bud. They seem to have the best edge retention out of all my blades. Or if you fancy being adventurous try a Schick...
Probably no scarier than a straight razor. A careful approach until you get used to it oukd be needed though. Are band blades still available?
I'm guessing you mean a new blade right? If so the answer is no. I can normally get at least 3 shaves from a blade and double that with a...
I'm not big fan of Chinese knock offs in general but if it is decent quality and you like it that is all that matters. I'd be surprized if the...
Hey man I'll have to have a look. This seems a great idea. I like synthetic brushes (vegetarian) so will have to have a look. It is great that...
Great journal mate. I'm with you on Astra SP: best all round performer in all my razors though some perform better in individual ones. Please keep...
No harm in trying her stuff. I'll place an order.It is sad people have abandoned her so much so that she has to close. Anyone calling herself Mama...

Hi guys I have been meaning to try Mrs Bear's soaps as, unlike a lot of US vendors, her postal charges internationally are not extortionate. Can...

Yea I think the Super Stainless has a bit more sharpness. It's confusing when the packaging is identical. The more expensive Platinums are great too.
Would not go near one personally. Apparently the Chinese Gold Dollars can be honed well with patience but I have heard nothing but bad things...
I've not tried the Super Chrome but the Super Stainless and Platinum blades have givem me very comfortable shaves in a Parker 24C and Merkur 37 C...
Nice blades and good value too. I think these are better than the super platinum Treets. Being Carbon steel you have to dry them thoroughly or...
Polsilvers are fantastic blades.They are the only blades I have bought 100 of along with Voshkod. I keep hearing the discontinued rumour too. My...
Beautiful stuff: I would love a hand made straight one day but they cost hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars/pounds. All beyond my...
