Mine is arriving in a few days. Together with a few soaps and 2 Semogue boar brushes =D

is there any place in KL selling DE razor

You can try Haniffa textiles hypermarket 2nd floor..mostly cheap china DE razor,

got mine for rm6, they also have couple of blade

if you want quality razor have to order online either from amazon or this guy

current gear : merkur vision / VHD glycerin shave soap / EG brush

does anyone of you here have keloids on your face?
especially around the jawbone area.
It is hard to shave hairs that grow around the keloids.

I have to get rid those keloids!

looking at those manypictures, there must be plenty of men flushed with $.

this is what i would like to share with the original poster.

i used to wonder when i was quite young (18+), now i already 50, why my uncle use two shavers, electric and disposable type.

after listening and taking his advice, now i know why.
it is about saving time shaving. electric shavers get the job done very quickly, but not
that well. so using the electric shaver to remove most of the troublesome hairs will save you time. I did not quite believe what he said, until i have tried myself, and that was 30 years ago, am still doing what he recommended. of course my uncle is gone now.

to me shaving creams are just glorified lubricating water ladden with chemicals. and burn a hole in your wallet.

alternative to shaving cream, just talk here, nothing specific but to give an idea.

1. use soap, but soap normally has an acidic ph. still used in old barber shops.
2. i could not find alkaline soap, but i believe that might help.
3. alternatively, rub the shaven part with toothpaste, it will relieve the heat.
or shave it with a bit of toothpaste. this one i saw it on a comic strip in a newspaper.

for me, what is more practical, use body shampoo. it does get the lubricating part
done well, and very fast, real time saver. facial cleaner (liquid type) also works very well, but expensive. though very handy when on travel.

put very simple, you cut time shaving considerably when there is enough lubricating.
of course you need to flush with plenty of water, so i shave while i am taking bath.
panasonic electric shavers (premium type) can be used when wet. and most important, use normal AA battery which also runs on rechargeable batteries. quite lasting, normally one to two years for me before the steel foil gets damaged. i have tried philips, for easily twenty years until i switched to panasonic three years ago.

Hello Gentleman,anyone interested in late 40's super speed?I have one to let go as I don't use it that often. Since there's some wet shaver here in Malaysia i will offer here first before i post anything in B&B. The 40's super speed is a great razor but require proper angle on your shave. There's a slight brassing showing off at the bottom plate as in the picture but no worries there's no rust signs at all,the mechanism all work perfectly. Razor has been polish and cleaned with alcohol. I will ship it to you on the next day after payment is done(Bank in). Delivery will be made through poslaju. I'm asking for RM96 including poslaju+10 astra sp blade. That's the best price that i can offer considered the shipping price that i have to pay to get it from overseas. PM me if anyone is interested. Have a good day. [/B]Item Withdrawn.

hello. using Gillette Slim Adjustable here. anyone interested in bulking razor blade? and shaving cream?

Hey TS, Trufitt & Hill has them.

http://www.truefittandhill.com.my/Collecti...at&id=4&cpage=1

I have enough stock to last for the next 3 years for blades and creams,however if you want to avoid the ridicilous shipping cost go for those vendor that do not use the flat rate. Connaught and Giftsandcare should be in your list. 1.5 weeks to get to Malaysia with Tracking number . Isn't if we buy in bulk which going to cost more than certain price point will kena tax?Correct me if i'm wrong.

Guys, I want to buy a razor that I can also use to shave my head bald (yeah honestly). Any ideas what good razor that can achieve this goal? Thanks a lot guys!

Honestly,you'll get tons of recommendation I'll say go with merkur HD or Edwin Jagger 89,EJ is known for kinda slippery with their handles while HD will allow you a better grip and slightly aggressive.Both you could never go wrong with and you can get it locally from this guy https://www.facebook.com/ShaveAndBeam which is a bonus. For blades go with Astra SP a good new comer blade since you going for head shaving. Good choice to switch for 2014 brother!

thank you for the recommendation. I will look into it. and yes, item valued more than RM500 will be taxed

Anyone planning on stocking up blade,i have 80 Astra SP and 20 SuperMax Platinum in individual pack that doesn't get love in my rotation anymore. PM me if interested

In case you go for giftsandcare. Do yourself a favour and get their horsehair brush line and custom loft from Juan. Great bang for the money!Wait until your RAD kicking in brother

Can waxing be done at home ?

What are the materials and equipment's needed for waxing ?

im using this.
Damn nice.. can just do any style with no worries...

where do I get this straight razor?
what r d available brands?
so wish to get 1 >.<

Are u straight from DE or cartridges?For newbie-Gold Dollar straight from china should be sufficient enough for the learning curve. You need a strop for regular maintenance and a honing every 6-8 months depending on your usage.

Or you can email Larry from Whippeddog,he have some pretty good deal on vintage straight and some complete set and the best route for newbie straight in my opinion with insanely great services!. Always score for those "shaveready" and honed by a master if you go for the vintage/secondhand route. New will be like dovo,feather,boker but you need a good recommendation on the scale.

cool~
I've been using lousy shavette with feather cut refill.
now I'm ready to tryout d real straight razor.

Where can I get this gold dollar n strop kit?
