I dont do either Spotify or Apple playlists. I usually hook into YouTube for my sounds to watch and listen to these days or a good old school radio station playing fine old soundz. I still have all my vinyl records, cassette tapes and cd's. I...
I have seen containers at Razor Empourium, Art gets.🏆🏆🏆
Soap is apprently not tallow based, made in 🇬🇷
Anyone ever use I was curious why this $32.00/Can Soap is so pricy?
I am all 👂👂
Well, honestly, I was thinking the price reflected a tariff. If so, this is a good example of who pays for tariffs. It is not the country for which the tariff is levied. It is the consumer.
This soap is not made in the US. The tariff does not...
That's brain damaged... he supports the tariffs and yet circumvents them by getting the item sent to the UK. It seems they are OK for others but not for him. Typical Trump-Tit-headed logic.
What drew me to other forums was the expertise of all things shaving the members had acquired over time. I think folks want to learn and if a forum can become a resource, it will proliferate.
I started this long strange shaving trip last November. One 1959 Gillette razor turned into over 110 vintage Gillettes. Then came the modern ones…don’t ask how many.
Last week started my straight razor trip.
Straight razors are 3 for now until...
Boti vortex TI razor comes to mind. Pretty razor, but in the end it's just junk. They designed it backwards, the open comb was mild and the safety bar side was overly aggressive.
Hi,
my name is "Ingo" (56 years old) - I`m from Berlin, Germany.
I started shaving with straight razors in the beginning of 2022 (as a result of Corona and watching shaving-videos on YouTube ! 🙂).
Since 2026 I practice with razor knives too...
Welcome Ingo - nice to see you here from Germany. if you are on the shavette track why not try a Weck Sextoblade razor? The ultimate shavette and German too. Awesome blades.
My Charcoal collection. I am quite proud... of the fact I resisted buying any Charcoal items for so many years. Look at these beauties!! Unused condition!!
I once did...LOL!! Congratulations on your Yellow Coticule.
When I got interested in honed straight razors I enjoyed finding 100 year old razors, honing, and using.
The J-hook is an advanced wet-shaving technique popularized by Mark Herro, widely known as Mantic59 on YouTube and Sharpologist. It involves moving a double-edge safety razor in a downward straight line and then subtly curving the handle at the...
When I looked at videos of men using a straight razor I decided to use both hands instead. It just takes a few times for the muscle memory to build. I think if we wanted, most could become ambidextrous.
I call it the THE NO BULL TRUTH.
You dont need a Wolfman to get a Good SHAVE, you need Skill, or Technique, Razor, Blade, Soap, or Cream, and LAST TECHNIQUE.
I have slo Super Razors costing hundred of dollars, I use most Gillette DE Vintages, 1933- 1962, only modern is a Goodfellas’ Smile Bayonetta DE Safety Razor.
All deliver DFS, close to BBS because I OWN TECHNIQUE.
I am like the hunter of 1700's...
I have a big collection of razors (and knives), but those are my "fantastic four":
Yaqi Ultima Slope, Yaqi Ghost Titanium 0.70, Razorock Cybermild, Kämpfe Henson Clone mild (I`m a "Softy";))
Lucky me and both cost me my organs, glad to have both heads and the original Weber handle. Both Weber razors, aren’t for sale, until I REST IN BLOODY PEACE, in other words TOUGH BLOODY TITTIES!
WEBER!!!….. ITS ALL MINE!!
