Aloha!

I have been on a quest for finding a very decent disposable or cartridge razor for travel on airlines with only carry-on luggage. So some of this post is for that purpose. Some is for an...

Aloha!

I was happy to get my order of Speick Aftershave Balm in the mail yesterday. I've been using Nivea Sensitive for a while. It's the most soothing and moisturizing aftershave Balm I have...

Aloha!

I'm a fan of German shaving products. I really like Speick, Tabac, Nivea and Merkur.

I have just about all of their product lines in my shaving den, but I was missing the Speick...

Aloha!

Although I have about 10 tubes and bottles of aftershave balm, I've discovered this Nivea Sensitive is absolutely incredible for my face. More calming after a shave than their "cooling"...

Aloha!

Just got this Feather Artist Club CLONE from China today. $11.00 ($15 shipped). Certainly much cheaper than the Japanese Feather. First impression, very well built. Nicely cloned. ...

Excellent review, Steve. I have to get going on getting this exact model. I'm really happy with my Titan $35 model, so I really need to try the one you got for $20 to see if there is any blade...

I hear that. My last few years of full time work I was 60 plus hours a week and I only did face lathering with Cremo. I was so rushed in the morning I didn't even use a brush. Just face lathering...

Aloha!

I had actually forgotten that I ordered this new lather bowl from Amazon. The Bicrops ceramic lather bowl. Only $15 delivered. I'm actually very impressed. Extremely well made, good...

Hey thanks, Bob. Yes, I didn't think it would be too agressive, but just in case I do have (like most of the DE guys here) a plethora of DE blades I can try. My guess is I'll just pop in my beloved...

Aloha!

I am a fan of Merkur DE razors. I have a few but have always wanted to try the SLANT BAR scything action DE by Merkur, the 39c - Sledgehammer. So, I finally pulled the trigger. It will...

Steve, got my new XL size Vie Long Horsehair. Bought it from Amazon but it was shipped directly from China via expidited airmail. First Amazon item I have ever bought that was shipped directly...

Absolutely. I'll keep you well in the loop. Still not arrived, but expect in the next week or so.

I like those striped towels for shaving. I can't quite tell, but yours look green on my computer screen. My shave den happens to be a green plam trees type motif. So I bought THREE packs of these...

Coincidence. I too bought one from Aliexpress via China. About 3 weeks ago now. Should be here in a week or so. On that slow boat.

Decided to try the 7 Gears Solid Brass Adjustable DE Razor.

324506

Really didn't need another DE, but because it's solid Brass and Adjustable, I had to try it.

Aloha Steve!

I had one that I got from eBay that had a bit of an ordor, but I washed it with Dial Antibacterial soap and then rinsed it with some 50 percent wintergreen alcohol and it was fine...

Aloha!

I'm a fan of Horsehair brushes. I find them to be the best mix of Badger, Synth and Boar. And we don't have to worry about the Anthrax scare in these brushes from 120 years ago, so I'm...

Aloha!

I have wanted to try a Titan straight razor for a while. I have a few friends in Japan that like these razors. So I got a good deal on this model and decided to order one up. Should be...

Lots of soap/cream/aftershave purchases lately.

Some very recent arrivals;

Speick stick soap and aftershave, Stirling Orange Chill soap aftershave and balm, Palmolive cream and stick, Nivea...

I just posted that brush in SOTD. I bought mine at Pasteur's Pharmacy in NYC this last summer. What a great brush IMO, especially for the price.

Enjoy.

Aloha!

Lots of re-fill stuff. Nothing unique but still, very important to me;

Lord Super Chrome DE Blades. Palmolive Shaving STICK and CREAM. Nivea Shaving Cream, Clubman Reserve Gent's Gin,...

Finally got around to shaving with the new "Straight Razor-Esque Shavette" from China.

I have to admit, I liked shaving with this razor. It feels fairly close to handling a straight blade. Not...

Thanks. I'll probably shave with it tomorrow and/or Tuesday and let you gents know how I liked it. The feel of it in the hand sure mimics a straight blade. Much better than any other Shavette I...

Aloha!

After much procrastination, I finally ordered one of those Chinese Straight Razor Shavettes that are supposed to "Mimic" a straight razor shave. I have had no luck with Shavettes in the...

Aloha!

I ordered 10 boxes of Supermax Blue Diamond Titanium blades from GROOMATORIUM out of California. A decent price on these and Groomatorium ships lightning fast and extremely well packaged....
