@DLB, i have an old Pike Wireless Hone that i use to...

I managed my first completely irritation free shave today. Performed 70 laps on the strop beforehand and i really felt the difference! Zero pressure and a good lather helped too. Speaking of lather,...

I use the slicing motion on my upper lip (gillette slide as per mantic) and find it works really well, but must be used with extreme care! As for cuts, i have found that the straight gives the...

I made a video of...
