  Krumholz Gillette Collectors Handbook (PDF Format)
Posted by: sunburyboy93 - Yesterday 18:14 - Replies (7)

One of our kind members gave me a heads up on this

For the Collectors among us, this book is available as a Buy It Now on E-Bay and in PDF Format so no crazy shipping costs....

although the prices will be far out of date, as a reference guide it is still full of information.

  New Form of Styptic ?
Posted by: Slick - Yesterday 12:00 - Replies (5)

Hi
Had a really close shave today with a Dovo slant.
Mmmmm niiiice.
However due to being a little careless produced a small nick and a weeper.
Being lazy I couldn't be arsed to dig out the proraso juice so I went for the Sure roll on deodorant. Unperfumed.
Hey it's a hydrate of aluminium the same as Alum!!
Just dab a bit of Sure on then!
Perfick. Stings like alum too.
Bleeding stopped right away.
So banish those nick and weeper blues.
Use your armpit ball stuff...
Wel you know what I mean.
Yrs
Blake.

I actually like Old Spice Aftershave & Deodorant.

It was all down to my Secret Santa.

I must be getting old! Several years ago, I'd have laughed at the thought.

  does anybody's wife de shave?
Posted by: singerman - 26-01-2012 00:03 - Replies (20)

do any of your good ladies use a de razor?

i have been looking at the nice gillette 'stars' vintage razors, but my wifey doesnt seem as enthusiastic as me about getting one Smile

maybe i want her to have one more than she really wants one Sad.

it's painful to watch her scrape around with her bic, cutting her legs to bits.

anybody got any feedback on this please?

I'm going to get me one of these. Launching next week in the US, and no doubt heading to our shores some time soon(ish):

I weep, I really do.

Cant get my head around the prices people are willing to pay for for this guys stuff !!
yeah he can take a good photo and yeah he describes stuff well (in most cases) but wtf !!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Gold-G...314wt_1344

£117.03 ! and 31 Bids !!, for an uncased, used Gillette Executive, it has wear and plate loss but still demands the high price...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Gold-G...421wt_1344

£142.67 ! and 35 Bids !!, for another uncased, used Gillette Executive, again it has wear and plate loss but still demands an even higher price...

Then you have our very own Jamie who snags a nice cased one with minimal if any wear for i believe a very good price of £46.00 delivered

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GILLETTE-EXECU...500wt_1361

i can only think people are bidding the money just to own one from this seller rather than the actual quality of the item being sold...........

can't get my head round it really

  Whats causing this......
Posted by: noobstu - 23-01-2012 21:12 - Replies (11)

Hey guys.

I just had my evening shave and as I keep saying I'm very new to Traditional shaving.
(Loving the new Edwin Jagger number!)

I had the CLOSEST shave ive ever had - even went for an ATG final pass. But....

When I finished the shave, there were really small specks of blood coming from some areas of my face. They aren't nicks or cuts per se, it almost looks like blood coming from some of the pores.

Its not really giving me any pain either, I just thought I'd ask on here if I did something wrong, and what can I do to avoid this in trhe future?

Stu.

  While in London...
Posted by: Spag - 22-01-2012 21:31 - Replies (14)

Hi,

I’ll be in passing through London soon. I am able to get fine English shaving products through sites such as Shaving.ie and Connaught Shaving. I thought I’d pick up some Witch Hazel while I’m in London, as it is not readily available here in Paris. Any suggestions as to where I can pick some up? What should I be looking for when I purchase Witch Hazel from a pharmacy? A quick search on Google showed some basic Witch Hazel sold at Boots. Are all forms of Witch Hazel sold in pharmacies basically the same?

Any other suggestions as to what else I can pick up while I’m in London? I have too much shaving soap as it is and way too many blades already, but I’m open to suggestions for after-shave products. I do tend to suffer from razor burn more often then not. I’ll be staying not very far from Camden Market.

Thanks in advance.
