I posted the same question in another forum and the response from one woman sums it up: "I used to like the old Michael Jordan cologne the best....
Yes, nostalgia is a powerful, particularly with scents. I could go on about my dad’s old car, or his pipe, etc. and yes, a 23 year old could like...
Yes, but if this person is 46, I see that as a different generation than a 23 year old. What would a 23 year old like in aftershave, if she's...
I've been curious about trying some of these classic aftershaves - my dad used Old Spice all his life. I see a lot wives of this forum like these...
Maybe I have to reset the bevel. But here's another question: in the video, Slash sometimes does passes "the textbook way" (see time 1:20 in the...
The Razor is new, and is advertised as "Shave Ready", factory honed to 8k stone. I realize that when razors are advertised as "Shave Ready", this...
Hi all, I did some testing with lapping film recently on my new Gold Dollar 208, and I noticed my lapping film looks quite worn/dirty after one...
did you have a mirror in front of you? Was water a good enough lubricant?
What home-made substitutes have you guys used as shave soaps in a pinch? I've used regular dove soap well-lathered up. It wasn't great, but it...
If the actual strop distance is an inch or two, then would 6" balsa/acrylic blocks be fine? I ordered 12" long, 1" thick, and they're quite big.
Just curious, how do you know when to add more diamond paste to the balsa? How do you know when it's time to replace the balsa? (and if you did,...
OK. I imagine one could find some Tupperware to store them individually. Another question about the width of the balsa/ acrylic: If these are...
Hi Slash, just wondering if you store the balsa strops in a special way? I imagine if you stack them on top of each other, the abrasive particles...
Thanks for another great detailed response. I'll be sure to investigate the diamond paste. Just confirming, that after every shave, you strop on...
Another update: After having my SR professionally honed, it slowly dulled a bit, week after week - enough to annoy me, although I could still...
Thanks Slash. I checked what I currently have for paste, and it is definitely 3 micron. What is your opinion on getting the strop chalk, rather...
Alright. I'll switch to balsa wood. How much paste do you put on? (Do you have a photo)? How often do you add more paste to the balsa strop?...
I just had a weird experience: I after honing my SR, then I use the CrOx paste on the strop, my SR actually becomes a bit duller! I tried this...
I find that I use the Crox strop after every shave to keep the edge reasonably sharp. If I don't, I notice a slight difference. BTW, what kind...
Looks great! Can't wait to try it out!
