Anyone wants to try 'The Fat'?

Found a cheap source online and would just like to share shipping..

About 4 pounds for a 125g puck of MWF..

Shipping is about 10 pounds for 5 or 12 pounds for 8.

thanks for the offer but I am perfectly happy with my Shiseido Men Shaving Cream

some time back tried buying my first shaving set from the english shaving company but it was a lame site that had problems processing my credit card

Try westcoastshaving....that's where I got my gear.


Anyway, was in Barcelona lately, and found this gem of a shop there. Spanish people must take their shaving seriously!

Spanish people have no choice I think..

hey TS. please PM me the place and price u bought ur shaver. i cant find it in anywhere.

Hi Bro,

OMG. I've been waiting for years for a thread like this to start. Been doing DE shaving for the last 7 years. Like you carbman, I've had my face sliced to ribbons by these multibladed crap razors that Gillette has been putting out and basically the exact same problems as you. Switched to DE (same journey as you also ), Cheap china DEs, Super Nacet (ugh). Now I have 3 Vintage Gillette DEs (1950s Gillette Gold Aristocrat, 1963 Gillette 'Slim' Adjustable and a 1979 Gillette Super Adjustable). BBS everytime.

Now, as far as supplies are concerned:

1. DE Blades - 1st Floor, Haniffa Textiles, Jln Masjid India. They have a variety of blades (Sold either in single box of 5 blades or 100 blade pack). Recommended brands: Treet Platinum, BIC, Green Russian made Gillette 7'O Clock blades. Currently they have Wilkinson Sword Blades at the cashier. RM3.90 per 5 blades. Super damn good. Better go sapu before I do!

Mustafas - Singapore. I know. Its far but this place can get a lot of stuff. Look for Kai Blades.

2. Shaving soap - Sorry. Cannot find here. Take up [Top-Gun]'s offer. I have a puck of MWF. its awesome. [Disclaimer: I have no relation or know who is [Top-Gun] ]. Alternatively, you can look for Tabac Shaving Sticks in Mustafa. Very useful esp when travelling

3. Shaving Cream - Ah, here we are a bit luckier. Haniffa's has Godrej Shaving creams, Denim and German made Palmolive creams. All of which are at par in terms of performance with very expensive English creams. All of them are under RM20 per tube and will last for 2 months if you shave everyday.

4. Aftershave - Apart from the Nivea balm and Denim ones, I dun recommend anything else in Malaysia. Maybe got some Body shop ones that work. Never tried. Too rich for my budget. When in Mustafa, pick up Skin Bracer aftershaves.

5. Razors - Buy online. badgerandblade.com's BST thread can get some good deals. Dun be scared about using vintage razors. They work just fine after disinfecting them.

Ok. Sorry about the long post. Just happy to see someone else who's into this kind of shaving

PS: Not affliated at all with the retailers or brands mentioned here. Just a happy customer

How regularly do you guys often shave?

I am keen on buying an electric shaver but I'm scared that i won't get a 'close shave'.

QUite sure you wont get a clean shave. I keep one in my car, whip it out when i'm in a rush etc. It does the job, but u still can feel the stubbles.

I shave every 2 days. Electric might or might not work for you. As MeeToo said, it depends on how heavy your facial hair growth is. Personally, I can't use them as my facial hair is thick

damn im interested in buying Edwin Jagger DE86811bl, but they dont accept PayPal. They only accept credit cards and sadly, i dont have one...

Do you guys shave early in the morning or night?

Those days during wartime even armies still shave using cold water -- no problem. http://www.armytimes.com/offduty/health/of..._advice_071509/

wow, u guys REALLY take shaving seriously.
Usually, I shave 1 a week if I in d "mood".
btw, me not army but shave with cold water.

I do it at night, after shower. I find it refreshing and the hair grows back slower. Of course, YMMV.
