Thread: A warning about razor discussions on Badger & Blade.

I don't know why you're complaining. I was banned a few days after registering at B&B before I had even been allowed to make a post. Reason given in the email was that I didn't fit their criteria or something.

If I remember correctly the only information they had about me was my chosen username (same one that I use here) so make of that what you will.

Shame, because I like their site. I don't go there much because I can't join in and it's frustrating when you have an idea you want to share.

Also I have to suffer the nag bar at the top of the screen asking me to register with them!

You're clearly a terrorist, Ray and the only reason you're here is to destabilise the art of wet shaving.

None of his razors are shave ready. They all need to be honed. Who told you they are shave ready? Just curious - did you try to have your complaints addressed?

I emailed him last week regarding his Friodurs, and his response was quick and was willing to go out of his way to help me. You don't need B&b anyway John!

I also think Lynn is absolutely correct. If we need more soap info, etc, why don't we start from there? In fact to hell with B&B, we should take the best concepts from there and expand SRP to its full potential. Just my opinion.......

Right - there is nothing to stop a good exchange about shaving in general here. I use a double edge once in a while and have found that not all double edge blades are equal for example. I can't help but wonder what is up with brushes though! Just because the third hair from the left of center was .15mm shorter than it should have been, and the brush obviously wasn't made from the very best hair from the testicles of a one eyed mountain badger - I mean, what's up?

Point taken. My eyes aren't the greatest. I had radial and astigmatic caratotomy on both eyes about fifteen years ago and my left eye cornea is unstable in axis axis which causes the residual astigmatism to float plus or minus ten degrees in that eye. I buy a pair of glasses and the left lens is only good for about three months.

thats a pain in the ass. I have a mild form of kerataconis, which is a progressive astigmatism. I have to have custom made hard contacts. but at least i don't have any floathing issues.
