First try with these Chinese Schicks; I think it was that super-enabler who first told me about them. Wouldn't like to say who it was but he was some Dodgy character all right: -D
After just one shave my thoughts are that this blade is ok. Not super-sharp but pretty smooth. I'm thinking a bit like modern German Wilkinson blades for smoothness and sharpness, so fairly average. Need to use it a few more times in a few more razors to be sure though.

Here is something I have wanted to produce for a long time. A full strength gentleman's evening cologne. It's not strictly a shaving product, but it will appeal to a lot of gents out there to wear on a night out.

It is called Tuxedo, and the scent structure is:-

Top Notes: Amber, fresh pears and vanilla.
Middle Notes: Sunflowers and African starfruits.
Base Notes: Mulberry's and Dewberry's.

It will retail on ebay eventually for around £25, and be cheaper on here for members.

Here is the raffle: If anyone is interested in trying this, I will take requests and pick three names out of the hat, in about a week, when it's finally ready to go, and three people will get the first three bottles free. All you have to do then, is write a short review on here, about what you thought of the product.

So, if you're up for a free cologne and a bit of fun let me know.

Martin.

So guys, if you're out on a date and you're not wearing Tuxedo, you're just not dressed properly![Image: tuxedo042.jpg]

  Need help with shaving? [Red marks after]
Posted by: Mr. - 16-05-2012 23:15 - Replies (41)

Hi everyone on theshavingroom.co.uk

Am new here Smile But not at shaving.. And I really need some help every time I shave I keep getting red marks after shaving? And my skin drys up?
I use a electric razor as do I cant use a normal one as do I know I will end up cutting myself v_v And I hate hair on my face So I must shave everyday.

Here is how I normal shave

1, Bath
2,After bath I put on shaving Gel (Nivea for men,Sensitive)
3, After that I get my razor (Philips AT890 - Shaver), When I shave I do it over a sink of water not in the bath or shower, So I rise my razor over warm water
4, I then start shaving, I do stop and rise and then I continue In till all hair is gone (Or try to at least)
5, Wash off with warm water
6, Apply post shave balm (Nivea for men, Sensitive)
Now the problem I have is after shaving I end up with this
[Image: scaled.php?server=204&filename=2...es=landing]

It dose not hurt but I really hate it. When I see other men shave they never get this? So why do I? And my skin drys up even when using Shave Balm I have very Sensitive skin!?
Wording can I put E45 on after shaving then post shave balm by Nivea?
I hope someone can help me And how I can have a better shave?
Thanks
-Mr.

If you have any questions do ask and I will get back to you ASAP!

Are there any good tutorials out there about how to shave with a straight. I had a quick search on YouTube but didn't find much.

Saturday is the day of reckoning when I shall be having my first attempt so was wondering if there are any good tutorials on the web.

Simpsons Duke 3 two-band Super LE butterscotch and the new Simpsons mug (small size).

To give you an idea of the internal size of the shaving mug, it now has a vintage Old Spice puck inside which fit absolutely tightly and perfectly, with just a touch of extra pressure to have it securely sitting firmly at the bottom of the mug.

Muhle R41
MWF
Personna Red

Don't think the Personna are quite sharp enough for the R41.
Little bit of drag.

I understand these aren't very popular - that they didn't give a great shave and that getting a new band when the one inside runs out might be difficult. But what about the actual shave, or the use or buildof the razor itself, is so unappealing?
