    Saturday's Review: The Merkur 34C Edition 1896

    Thanks! Thanks a lot for reading and commenting @Vittoria. It is quite pricey everywhere. The OG 34 is already on the costly side and this beats it threefold. And if it would have been a CNC machined razor...maybe it would have been reasonable. But it's not and it's not perfect. I really...

    Saturday's Review: The Merkur 34C Edition 1896

    It's not such a strange claim to make @LesC, everything in shaving has been invented and Gillette invented, used or simply bought many of these inventions. So it's a pretty logical claim to make that the vintage Gillettes perform very well for a broad range of people. I own a few vintage...

    This review is about the Tatara Amakuni Ti Introduction Tatara is one of the few razor brands we have on the Iberian Peninsula. These Portuguese guys have created a line of razors, along with several other shaving products, that are high-quality and have a very distinctive aesthetic. So...

    Saturday's Review: The Blackland Osprey Ti

    This review is about the Blackland Osprey Ti Introduction Blackland is the company that gave us the Blackbird and the Vector, two benchmarks in the world of razors. Whether they are benchmarks for their technical capabilities, aesthetics or innovation, each one can decide for themselves...

    Saturday's Review: The Yaqi Ghost 90 Ti DC

    I agree with your comments @Vittoria. Not every razor exposes its secrets to you during the first shave. This one, however, did so inmediately for me. I inmediately knew this was a keeper because it adapted itself very well to my needs and preferences. Obviously, this will not be the case for...

    Saturday's Review: The Yaqi Ghost 90 Ti DC

    This review is about the Yaqi Ghost Ti 90 DC (Double Comb) Introduction I don't like combination combs. Or rather, I don't like double-edge razors with different combs. I don't see the point. If I want an open comb, I'll buy a razor with two open combs, not just one. And vice versa, if I'm...

    This review is about the Alpha Shaving Outlaw Evolution Ti Introduction Steve Tinter owns Alpha Shaving, based in Hong Kong. He started the business because he loved (and still loves) brushes and decided to make them himself. Gradually, he also ventured into designing and manufacturing...

    Saturday's Review: The Stando Prowe SE

    Thank you very much @Vittoria! Glad you enjoyed the review! Do you use/have SE razors?

    Saturday's Review: The Stando Prowe SE

    Thank you @kkazan! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading. I really don't think that it is possible to produce a review if you don't do it in that fashion. The choices that are made when designing a razor determine what will come out of that black designing box. Being able to recognize and...

    Saturday's Review: The Stando Prowe SE

    This review is about the Stando Prowe Introduction Some time ago I did a series of reviews of razors from the Polish manufacturer Stando. What I remember from that series is that all of these razors all had a very good quality standard. Good construction, practical in use and a modest but...
