Muehle Sophist with German sourced badger hair

The Bronze Guerilla. A line up that’s an off-shoot from the Wolfman Razors house that is more geared to have a more stoic aesthetic and blue collar feel to them. A hidden gem in the sense that these particular razors fly under the radar and don’t...

Wise words Old Man, respectfully....

I'm not privy to that assessment but, it could be a possibility that many have experienced. I with certainty can't say that this particular model was over polished to disturb the geometry or alignment. The Avanti I have is practically spot on...

Again the old “YMMV” but I believe Shield gives all Chinese razors a run for the money? Ah shaving so subjective, great review, I’ve heard at times Yaqi “over” polishes some of their high end ones?

Just thinking about double edge razors that few wet shavers have mentioned, considered or simply have not heard or been aware of that others own and use on a consistent basis. To me it matters not if it’s old or new, vintage or contemporary...

The razor bucket list is complete!

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.

Personally, I’d have no issues not like a mismatch with Brands or visual looks, ie; S/S head Bronze handle etc? Obviously head heavy so will out way your “dislike” for lighter razors, go for it Bro

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!!

As is well known YMMV. I personally find the 2 piece from #88 the smoothest most efficient vintage Gillette, I have ever used and still have in my rotation, but nothing beats the beauty of the Gen 1 Aristocrat ❤️ them.

G’day mate welcome aboard, oh and vintage Gillettes rule 👍 YMMV (for the naysayers) 😂

I enjoy the few updates on this Chat, the more I think about it @TobyC may have got it right!! My Gillette from set 88, Culmak 84 (sorry best Badger not Boar) and a mug and puck of Old Spice, followed by the O/S splash, I reach out to more than...

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";))

G’day mate welcome on board enjoy your time here 👍

I just grabbed this vintage MacGregor Shave Set. The soap is still in the mug and the aftershave is just over half full. The cologne is over 3/4 full. Also snagged these vintage brushes. The red one on the left is a Drake and the other 2 are Ever...

“Lucky bastard” meant nicely 😂😂 15mins. Looking forward to yours and others thoughts on this one 🤞

It's hard to tell the difference between the Shield Recurve and RR RC 1.20 as the gap and exposure are very close. I am going to try the Shield RC in the RR reloader to see if it fits and works like the original. I am going to do a side by side...

Italian razors made it. They look great, I just wish they would bump their metal from 303 to 316 steel.
