Yes, how embarrassing :-(

The Merkur 34G looks quite nice, but maybe a vintage gold plated would be nicer? Just for touch-ups only...

Mauri,
I agree with your points about the ritual being 'dry'. Using a DE, for me, at this early stage, does lack some of the awe of using a straight. Last night I shaved with my Klas Törnblom AND...

Wow, I like the first and second one, the second one is MASSIVE!

Well, I must say the DE you found yesterday look very, very cool...

You know, I actually thought about that, the OCD inducing qualities of an adjustable, some times no choice is the best choice...

Hi Mauri,
I'd be very interested to know how it went and to see some photos of the blades. I've only used two brands of blades so far. I guess it's just the fact that i was able to do three passes,...

Yeah, I like the fact that all the weight is at the bottom, it'd be very hard to tip over...

I noticed :-) I think I also need this when it's available; isn't that cool?:

Yeah, thanks Mick, I think I will. I like Men's Biz; I like being able to get stuff with almost next day delivery. I'm finding that the postage from O/S is almost random in regards to delivery...

I did get some Astras, I haven't researched blades much yet...

No, this is my LITTLE son! 13. All 13 year olds are smartarses but not all smartarses are 13...

This is what I ended up getting, pretty cool I think:

Well, I got the Mühle R 89 today. I haven't shaved with it yet; but it's a marvel of engineering and design, that much is certain. My son keeps teasing me and telling me it's a disposable and I...

I'll give both methods a trial. Interesting stuff. And more interesting that one can actually have a conversation this detailed about shaving. I was thinking about storing it on my desk in the...

Sounds like a plan, Obie, I think I'll make mine Saturday...
Now I'll have to study the DE forum to learn how to use it right. Already I'm wondering if one uses one side of the blade on one side of...

I can't wait for the Muhle 89R, they look very cool and are reportedly very nice shavers. I know I'll feel like a deserter from the SR side, but I think I'll choose a day of the week to use the DE...

Great, thanks for the advice, Mikael, I think I know what I'm getting then; a Muhle 89R from a VERY nice fellow I know...
I think I've worked out where I should be shopping.... :-)

Hi all,
Thanks so much for the advice, very much appreciated. I found a Gillette Three Piece that I like the look of, I spent a LONG time looking (too long) and found on close inspection a lot of...

I've just found a nice 3 piece that I think looks nicer, and some Shark and Berco blades :-)

...Maybe I should branch out a bit from a straight? New or vintage? Open comb or not? Hmmmm...Might be nice...They are very cool looking little machines, and I bet a lot better than the one that...
