I sometimes face lather, but I usually use a bowl. It gives you more room to whip up a lather. The other reason is once I had brushes with pretty...
I haven't tried the Blues yet, but the Greens are my go to blade. For my face, in virtually all of my DEs, the Astra SPs are pretty much in a...
For me it's the Yellows, then the Blues, then the Blacks, then the Greens. @gadabout; there are 5 (or so) different Gillette 7 o'clock blades,...
Don't have any experience with synthetics, but I love boars. For $8 to $15 the Omegas really can't be beat, but if you can go $20, I whole...
My 10065 didn't smell at all.
Like Macaronus I agree completely accept I wasn't in the Air Force, I've just always had jobs where the dress code said you had to shave everyday....
That about sums it up for me, too. I like Williams just fine. (The new stuff, I've never tried the old one.) For 59 cents more the VdH Deluxe is...
Hirsute; I'm sure someone here will quickly correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all of the currently available EJ razors use exactly the same...
Johnus, I think what Mitch is saying, is that he was changing his style for the Derbys or at least subconsciously not being as careful with them,...
Blade gap; around half an inch.......you should probably stick to WTG with that one...............
Dennis; How has it been going? I've just a couple of quick things to add. Pivoting-head cartridge razors have made a lost art out of maintaining...
The scent to me is eucalyptus and limes. The only other menthol I have to compare it to is Barbasol's menthol A/S, and the Alcolado has more...
Always a good idea. No one remembers what it's like to be a noob, as well as a noob does. I've only been with this forum for a month, but...
SharpSpine brings up a great point about "Test Lathers". The very best thing about making a hobby out of shaving, has been it's something that I...
I've got a good friend that has been using a mug & brush and a cartridge razor for the whole 30 + years he has been shaving, and never had more...
I very much like that the writer in Mitch's link is rating blades on "sharpness" rather than "this one's better than that one." I've been trying...
They are the current "best blade" in my '58 Super Speed. I get great shaves out of them. XTG, ATG, it doesn't seem to matter. People do seem to...
I've only come back to DE shaving a few weeks ago, so keep that in mind while I give my opinion. Because I'm "new", I'll sometimes shave a little...
The cleaning, the polishing, the testing, the process of narrowing it down to "The One"...........it could take years.............:signs136:
I had never tried a menthol A/S before, but this morning I tried some Alcolado Glacial that I recently got from TSD store. I'm here to tell you, I...
