Well I've shaved in a few strange places...And shaved a strange place or two, and currently I'm the head-shaver around here as well! Yes, I'm that good! What?! You don't believe me?! I can prove it!...

I would send a PM to Onimaru55 (Os) to let him know what you have done, and what you would like to have done with it. Personally I think it's a great thing you have done and want to do. A very useful...

You'll have to ask Oz really, really bloody nicely I'd reckon...Perhaps also offering up a sacrifice to the razor gods might also help :) it would be a good thing though. I do agree with you.

...

It's your basic Bayrum. I like Bayrum anyway. The only thing that would improve it is if it came in Sandelwood or Cedar.



How do you figure that? The 1 litre is $34(?) and the 500ml is $20. Or...

I had it slapped on when I had the barber shave the other day. I know I like it. :)

What's wrong with you blokes?! I'm gonna get me some of that bargain priced Bay Rum just as soon as I can...And use it straight out of the bottle it comes in :).


Mick

Stu has said it all very well, so I won't repeat anything other than his offer of showing you honing if you're in the North of Brisbane.


Mick

Yes, I suppose you're right, I never gave it much thought as a shaving supplies place because I was thinking more of shaving supplies, rather than restoration of razor supplies. As far as Dremels go,...

What are you getting from them Eddy? I've used them in the past, but only for jewellery making stuff (findings).


Mick

Tucked in just behind my sense of survival and just ahead of my sense of stupidity which is, itself, ahead of my sense of common! :)


Mick

Yep. Rarely get a chance to be social online when I'm there. And that's if the internet is up and running. Sometimes it just doesn't seem to work. And even if I do, I have to limit computer time...

Sounds fair enough to me I reckon. Best of luck to ya mate, and let us know how you get on with your cut-throat shaves won't you?!


Mick

How quick a turn around are you after, I reckon a return express post parcel to Oz might get you your razor back within about three days (depending on Oz's work schedule 0f course.) Just send a PM to...

Well I wouldn't go bandy-ing that particular term around regarding this bloke, but Oz (Onimaru55) in Sydney is a dab hand at whacking an edge on a razor. You start applying those big german names to...

I don't know for sure, but the 16 year old (that was working with the bloke about my age) hinted that he has a cut-throat and uses it. Mind you, he wasn't close to having to shave. Maybe in a few...

I actually wasn't there to buy a razor as such. They're much cheaper elsewhere anyway. I just like to go in to look at what they have in stock. Seems that most stores (franchises) carry some slightly...

I still think they should all put in the time to learn the art before they start giving the advice. Most of them know the right words, but fail to understand the reason or the how of it all.


Mick

The half dozen Dovos they had on display were virtually dripping with oil from what I could see in this shop. I don't know if those had been handled however. I didn't bother having a close look.

...

So I was in the big smoke today...Right in the middle of it, rather than the fringes. Went into 'The myer centre' and came across a Shaver Shop. Spent about an hour there giving the bloke tuition on...

We can get them quite cheaply here, through online Austrlailian sites like Himage and Mensbiz.com. They sell in bulk, and have a variety of choices. I think Feathers come in around $45 for 100 and...

Perhaps there are other members from Perth that will be able to assist you with your stropping technique. I only know of Kalgoorlieboi over there, but that's not much help as he is in Kalgoorlie.

...

I used mine just Saturday gone. I have a tube of it for when I'm away from all my hoity toity stuff at home...:)


Mick

No worries mate. I can't help with that. I don't know of anyone. If I hear of someone I'll post it here.


Mick

Mensbiz.com or Himage.com. Both are aussie online shops, both have a nice selection of DE's and blade sample packs, soaps, creams and brushes.


Mick

I bought some tobacco from there in the past. Is that a real old shop is it? Deals in shaving/hairdressing supplies and a specialist tobacconist to boot. A strange combination!
