Other Safety Razors?

. Taylor / Trumpers coconut is my favorite so far. Smells great, and seems to give the smoothest shave. Finally tried out some Taylor sandalwood, not a huge fan.

Those sound quite nice! Feathers are my favorite so far, but I might have to track down some of those Gillettes.

 

Those look lovely. I'm tempted to try Feathers but I'm still not finished the Gillette 7 o'clock yellows that I got for Christmas 2 years ago (200 blades, 5 left )

Looked around a bit last night and I'd like to try the 7 o'clock Platinums... I wonder how they compare to the yellows.

 

Any scuttle users among you guys ? I'm looking for one of these too keep my lather hot.


Not my gears*

 

My first Online Purchase from an Wet Shaving store here in British Columbia.. I'll be posting pictures when the parcel arrives..

 

How's been the shaves lately ?

 

They are excellent.. Just ran out of soap so I ordered from The Copper Hat in Victoria, BC.

So I decided to get a blade bank so I don't have to worry about throwing them in the pop cans and recycle..

And then this order happened.. lol

 

I can highly recommend the Proraso menthol and eucalyptus soap and aftershave.

 

I received those, a few days ago, the scent and the slick lather totally hooked me

 

Standard Razor Black on Black Set

 

Cream Handle Synthetic Shaving Brush Badger hair man, Badger hair.

Not more expensive either

 

I shaved for the first time with a Gillette Made In England, it's in a class of it's own.

 

I received my shaving scuttle wednesday, after waiting for 4 weeks. I'm completely hooked to hot lather now

 

I had no idea there was such a thing as a shaving scuttle but, I have a beard, so what would I know?

 

When I showed it to my friends, they genuinely thought it was a teapot. : /

 

Nice scuttle!

It's all about the hot lather! I converted to DE 18m ago and can't pass on a good hot shave. I do miss the speed convenience of a standard razor, but not the burn!

 

I've been using this one for the past 2 months, I can't go back to my old bowl from Dollar General Also, the swirl pattern of the bowl make it way more easier to lather : )

 

My dad bought some pre-shave for my electric razor. Used it before shaving with my DE, and it worked really well. Just something more to add to the shaving regime it seems!

 

Took a trip to the local "Gentleman's Groom Room" and picked up some rare goodies - two packs of vintage English-made Wilkinson Sword 5s. Also thought I'd brave Feathers now that I've been using Gillettes for more than 2 years, and the Permas are for a mate.

The guy at the shop has TONS of these vintage Wilkinson Sword blades if anybody is interested in a group buy - I'd be happy to facilitate it. Alternatively you can purchase them directly from the shop here.

 

Oo, feathers, They're all I use these days.

 

When I went looking for my grandfathers double edge razor I found tons (seriously, like 15+) packages of wilkinson sword blades, though not sure on the exact model. They've been getting the job done.
