Thanks to
@SharpSpine who reminded me of a few more and also giving it some more thought...I'd like to add, to my list;
Hits
* Customer Service levels from some companies has been exceptional
ClassicShaving and OneBlade to mention two
* Connaught. Still one of the best online retailers there is
* TVBShaving - where else can I still find Floid Blue for $28 shipped?
I now have..uh...six bottles
* Blackland. Thanks to
@ShaneS who, in many ways, restored my faith in that Kickstarter can work
Misses
* Inflation in LE items. It's to the point where if everything is a limited edition..then nothing is
* Anything HTGAM/PPF/PAA/Crown King has touched/made
* Rockwell razors. I just can't respect them. I've tried but I just can't.
* High-End razor quality control.
Mongoose: it's really sad to see how it's failing so much later half of the year.
Classic Shaving: The amount of issues people are having with the KCs is just not acceptable
Heck, I'm even having a OneBlade razor replaced
