    New DE razor from King C Gillette

    Very mild. Wasn't impressed with the blades that came with it, either.

    Feather AS-D2s

    Well, I find there is. The Feathers is significantly heavier than the techs I have used and consequently delivers a better shave. I don't like techs as for me they are way too mild. As always, ymmv.

    What Am I Missing?

    Gillette Yellows,Greens and Blacks and Iridiums. But you have a fine selection of blades there. I am a fan of the Voskhods.

    Gillette re-release DE razor

    No. With those sort of mark-up's it is called ripping people off.

    Claymore V2 or ATT SE1 or ?

    They have the same head but a significantly different handle. The King is much heavier and has an amazing non-slip handle. Both are excellent shaves. And yes, from 1983 (for me) it is the San Francisco 49ers! Thank you for noticing.

    Claymore V2 or ATT SE1 or ?

    Keep looking. I picked up, separately, a Cobra and a King Cobra a couple of years ago second hand. It is doable and they are so worth it.

    Is Arko Your Marmite?

    No question, it is an awesome soap, and incredibly cheap. Not sure why anyone should hate it, even if they prefer other soaps.

    Back to cartridge razors for good

    What was this guy doing for 25 minutes, for goodness' sake? I suppose I could push it that long with a couple of cups of coffee and some music playing, but that is a long time.

    Using an SE

    Sorry to have missed this. I am nowadays an infrequent visitor. Neither of these blades will fit the OneBlade. It is an excellent razor but it only really takes the feathers FHS'10. Injector razors such as the schick and the supply take the B20 whoch is a smaller blade. Artists Club razors...

    ATT DE and SE

    At last, the long awaited (by my wife) sale begins. I am starting with my Above The Tie pieces. Fine razors they are, but they don't get a look in nowadays. They need a new, loving owner. I attach photos (I am not all that good at this). You will see that there is an SE with a bamboo handle...

    Hello and newbie advice

    Feathers. They are, literally, made for each other. I agree with Bizzyberry's comments above about SErazors, by the way.

    Hello and newbie advice

    Welcome! I dont like boar brushes. I prefer a good synthetic which can be picked up at a very reasonable cost. However, ymmv (which stands for Your Mileage May Vary) which translates as everyone's opinion is different. On the soap, proraso is fine. On the subject of razors, your could try...
