What? All I saw at the payment counter were Gilette cartridges, and when I asked a lady at the counter about razor blades she said First Floor.

I had the greatest shave ever on Saturday, but a lousy shave on Sunday with 3 nicks.

I've come to realise that a large portion of why wet shaving is so nice has to do with the soap. The richness, the scent, etc. makes all the difference. The Colonel Ishabod Conk (what sort of parents call their baby Ishabod?) is a glycerin soap, and I'm thinking of getting a tallow soap next. Cella is one that contains real cow tallow.

BTW carbman, you may want to consider this brush. Olive wood is one of the most charismatic of woods.

I can't stand the BIC. Going back to Feather ASAP.

I think everything you have in that pic is more expensive than what I have.

Do you shave yourself down there?

The new shaving soap is AWESOME! Gave me the most dense lather ever.  Will probably buy the 1kg pack.

I keep wanting to do it, it is not expensive, but I keep dragging my feet.
