F....Paper Cuts

Ican never find that Clubman aftershave I love that stuff!

[GMScud]

Damn, Buster. That stuff looks great. Maybe it's time for me to kick the Gillette Fusion to the curb and step my game up!

You won't regret it.

Yeah, I even built a nice mahogany razor stand with a marble base for my shave bowl and added some gold leaf accents.


When I broke my arm, I had to shift "obsessions" as my wife calls them from weightlifting to something else. Wetshaving somehow happened.

It took me a few weeks to get the technique down where I could get a perfect shave without cuts, but it's amazing how superior old razors are to this new multi-blade garbage where they charge you a few bucks per cartridge. The best razors were made in the 50s and 60s. That black-handled adjustable one I posted is a 1970.

Bought a few razors off eBay, a few from Antique shops...they polish up amazingly with a Dremel and some MAAS Metal Polish. They look cool on my counter too.

Bonus - Talking the wife into letting me shave her legs.

Rock and roll. For that reason alone I'm going to buy one. So the double edge blade, how does that work? Is one edge sharper than the other?

They're identical, there's just a sharp edge on each side. Convenient because you can shave one cheek, flip it over and shave the other before having to rinse it off.

There are single-edge blades too (for SE razors) but they're about obsolete now. They aren't as good anyways.

That's why you learn to do it right first.

She'll love the warm lather. If you do it right, you can shave more than her legs.

agreed, there's a little bit of creep factor involved with shaving someone else I think

if you grow like you said you'll love it

I've used doubles a few times and it takes a bit, but it's really relaxing, love doing it before I go to bed.. you might need to do it in the morning though

Try a Walgreen's. They carry that, some carry the Bay Rum. CVS carries it too if you have one of them.

Avoid that crap called Lilac Vegatal. It smells like cat urine and I'm not even joking. I had a sample of it.

drugstore.com Online Pharmacy - Prescription Drugs, Health and Beauty, plus more carries it if you're desperate or is worse comes to worst, you could Paypal me and I'll pick up a bottle and ship it to you. I just got back from the post office to mail a shaving brush to Texas.

I went here for a shave when I visited Vegas once it was a cool experience.

Famous place.

Someday if I get brave, I'll try to graduate to straight razors.

I love the Special Reserve but my wife says it's too strong.
