    Shaving too complicated

    See the problem? Even this is weird, because this "isn't what you would do". Normality is "what you would do"... Why do you even care how one decides to leave the forum? What's in it for you? It's his free will to say goodbye or not, isn't it... If you are so interested in the way i say...

    Shaving too complicated

    This is the 2nd incident i have in this week, so one may understand differently humour/sarcasm and one may even see deeper feelings behind what one calls them or why and when he uses them. So, i prefer to go to the "italian humour" , which i know best. This is all. The forum existed before me, i...

    Shaving too complicated

    "Waving white flags", is for wars. Is that how you see this? A "forum war"? Most interesting... But i am not here for that and since exactly this isn't about nuclear physics, but about shaving, i wave you my boar goodbye and go to greener, southern pastures. Hoping to find the moderator's name...

    Shaving too complicated

    People like simple answers for complicated things... An italian wetshaver that had been some years ago in an english speaking forum, had warned me to stick to italian forums, because "they don't get us and we don't get them". I think even if with delay, i will heed his advice, because i don't...

    Are Pure Badgers really that bad?

    When you start, you get caught in an addictive "trying spree", thinking that everything will be so much different so "i have to try this and that and that". Some months later, i seek what works well and keep with that. What works well, i can buy it in many spares. Why not... It's not like they...

    Shaving too complicated

    If you knew what to look for, you would know that i assumed correctly. Or rather, you should mean me, before any other Because, unfortunately, like i said, i can do self-diagnosis. Can you? It is amusing, but in the forum, people shoot psychological evaluations of others, without knowing what...

    Shaving too complicated

    It's the Baili BD176, sold also as Razorock DE1. In Badger & Blade, i had found someone that had dismantled the Baili and the Gillette Tech and had posted photos side by side and they are copycats both in appearance and in measurements. Only difference, the Baili BD176 is an upgraded version of...

    3 famous british brands and you don't like them? You are a tough customer! :D Here, the situation is bad enough, than in an italian wetshaving forum, they had to do this...

    Shaving too complicated

    Hopefully. Or, it becomes acquisition disorder and thus never ends, because you can't stop yourself. I have bought 3 types of metallic razors and 1 plastic, the Wilkinson Sword classic. I liked the 2, i didn't like the other 2. The Wilkinson i used it only twice, i just find the weight...

    Shaving too complicated

    Like i mentioned before, "the chase of the perfect razor", never ends. I read an old wetshaver in another forum saying that for brushes actually, but i think same goes for razors... If i have 2 types that give smooth BBS (even if with 4 passes), with no blood and irritation, why sweat it with...

    Shaving too complicated

    Unfortunately, i know enough to be able to say, that i have obsessive traits. What is commonly known as "OCD" by those who don't know what OCD really is. The psyche of all people, is composed of a mix of neurotic traits. They are like different forces fighting each other, pointing to different...

    Shaving too complicated

    Thanks. That's why i bought the Baili. I have found a B&B thread with comparing photos and the heads seem identical. However, the shave i get from the Baili Tech clone, is considerably rougher. Maybe because i am used to the angle of Weishi and DE89, which i find very similar, maybe because the...

    Shaving too complicated

    Ha! You 're right. I found it in Amazon. Only in this colour though. I think it's one ugly razor, but at that colour, i wouldn't use it even if you paid me. :p

    Show us your boars!

    This will likely be my last attempt to like the Omega Pros. I still find the handle too uncomfortable for bowl lathering, but since i switched to facelathering, i am going to give this a try. Brush never used, i left it in overnight bath and letting it dry today. It's a rebranded Omega, custom...

    Shaving too complicated

    Oh, that is german design head? I had no idea. Thank you, yes, now i know that you can order from them, but in the era of internet sales, i find it ironic, that someone in Romania has a shop selling them, while i have to address the factory in my own country to get one...

    Shaving too complicated

    That's the only bakelite i have seen in a local shop: It's looks like a Fatip gone mad! :D:D:p But it's the only bakelite option locally. Contrary to popular belief, the specialized shops here for wetshaving are few. I consider useful only two plus Amazon. When i was searching, i couldn't...

    Shaving too complicated

    Carbon fiber sounds really cool idea! Only problem is that it would make the razor head a bit too light? Of course there are razors that aren't head heavy, so i guess this isn't an absolute obstacle.

    Shaving too complicated

    No, it wasn't your mistake. It was me not expressing my thoughts correctly. I am glad i now know that the Fatip isn't the only one. But i come to know of it too late. Also, bakelites, i think are some like white strange razors? That seem like jade? I 've seen one of those in a local shop, but...

    Shaving too complicated

    It's good that i learnt of the existence of the Hone (never heard of it before), but quite frankly, i think it resembles the Merkur Futur. And i think the Futur is one of the ugliest razors i have ever seen. Plus, at the price of 1 Hone, i can buy 8 Weishis. Which are also brass and mild and i...
