Does anyone keep a beard or style stubble in a particular way? I do the latter using the old clearing lather with a finger outline approach

Well yesterday was my birthday, and It turns out that they must listen to me and she must love me quite a bit.

Quite a good haul I'd say. In fact I'm absolutely stunned!

The best bit

If you'll excuse me I'm off for a shave.

What's the best way to shave those tedious hairs from just under the tip of the nose?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but there is a new Iwasaki Razor selling on UK ebay with no reserve!!

            A recent TSR member, grtbnx, sent me three products from Bulgaria where roses and lavender are grown commercially for cosmetics etc that I mut pass on to members.

Rose of Bulgaria for MEN soap. Fragrant of roses and embedded with bits of lavender that act as a defoliant as well as having healing poperties. This is a VERY luxurius and creamy soap that lathers as well as a shaving soap

Rose of Bugaria shaving cream.... I have used a variety of soaps and creams but have never found one that can touch this for creaminess and luxury of lather. Simply put, it is the best i've ever used.

Almond milk after shave balm....This smells of marzipan. It soaks in well and leaves the skin soft, burn free and smelling nice.

Found 600 Wilkinson Sword blades from my grandfathers house, dated 1981. Are these any good, all the blades are in perfect condition ?

Hey guys,

Just a spot of indecision regarding a new razor. I already own quite a few. Obviously wanted to get this great community's thoughts/opinions.
Narrowed it down to either Merkur 34c HD , Merkur 1904 classic or a Muhle R41 and a Bulldog handle ... or maybe save up for a decent stainless steel beast...hmmm oh God I dunno.

I already have a couple of techs... an 11c , an R89 and 2 Edwin Jaggers. Also a Lord and a gillette 7 o'clock. Oh and a budget of £50.






Cheers.

I had my normal sunday morning luxury shave today. I got the sink full of very hot water and got my towel in their ready for after my shower. Now above the sink I have a rather overstuffed window sill with far too many shaving paraphenalia to mention, including my alum block.

When I got out after a very long, hot shower i went to the sink to find it like glue. Strange, and then I noticed my alum block was missing. It had obviously fallen into the hot water and completely dissolved!

My favourite shaving towel is now as stiff as cardboard. At least it should be disinfected ok!

Anyone recommend a good alum block I can buy!?

Has anyone used this site.I am thinking of buying for here and views on it

Ok so its been a few months since I posted on here I was having issues with converting to a DE from a mach 3 and was using a 3 pass method my problem was i just couldnt get a nice shave finish. I stuck with the DE and am now having some pretty super smooth and close shaves

The one major thing I changed is went back to my old shave pattern of in for the kill

Straight against the grain

Does anyone else shave straight against? I have obviously now adapted more to the razor itself but am getting some pretty nice clean shaves that feel much closer than anything else ive used or tried
