hello anybody?
where can I buy gold dollar razor & strop kit

if you a member of badgerandblade hobbyist/vendor thread will be a good choice(better way as they're aware of what they are selling). Or you can get the razor from ebay and a strop from larry at whipped dog.Those strops in ebay are better to be left to the pros to tell the difference. Oh and some of the gd in ebay eventhough it's stated as "shaveready" most likely,it's not

recently i was trying to get a pc of straight razor, my wife keep ask me not to get it. problem is u dont find it anywhere. haiz!

i m very fasinating about old skool shaving, i think this is the Men enuff style to put your shave.

sexy when u do such shave,

Scored 2 supermax platinum at pasar malam. Rm 1 each,..scared to use .....anyway using parker 99 now.. Pretty good i think, since i never use other de shaver before

Nicked my lips this morning using the DE razor. Didn't hurt at first but now its stinging. Any tips to reduce the stinging/itchiness?

Any ideas where I can get styptic pencil/alum block in PJ area? Tried the pharmacy but they don't have those.

I was told there's barber shop in taman tun called kedai gunting anand sells alum block. But alum block is more of an antiseptic to apply after the shave, gives you good feedback on your technique. If you want to stop bleeding immediately during the shave then you need styptic pencil.

X2 whipped dog, I don't know about their straights but their silvertips are awesome and so cheap. Larry is a great guy to deal with just drop him an email.

Hi bro, do you know roughly where is it located?

I think Malaysia doesn't stock styptic pencils. Check with a Guardian, Watson, Caring etc all don't have.

Are you a safety razor user too?

My guess near vins there. I gotta double check. Yeah been doin a couple years, the hardware is ej89l, gillette uk shavetech, slims, red tip and a another gillette slim in that order. In terms of BAD ej best badger, vulfix turnback travel, Rudy vey custom silvertip, whipped dog silvertip and muhle stf2.

Hi guys.. I'm recently changing my shaving routine to manual shave, after my trusty electronic shaver I was using for 6 years finally broke down. Didn't felt like buying a new electronic shaver, I went into Guardian and bought myself a Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ razor.

So far so good and I get cleaner shave compared to my electronic shaver. But the downside of the Fusion Proglide is the refill cartridges are so expensive!

I'm thinking of getting a good DE razor, with no budget constrain. I've been reading some online articles and most of them recommend Merkur or Edwin Jagger.

Is there any more better razor's brand which I can buy? Is there a local shop around KL/PJ where I can "feel" the razor on my hand before I buy one?

Hope I can get some advises from fellow members.

Merkur or EJ not much diff if u getting 89 or 34C.
If u need the angle get the below or the merkur progressive adjustable or futur

Nice one.. will check out the adjustable.

But is there any shop in KL/PJ that carries these brands?

Read the 12 page thread, I buy online can't help u.
If nothing here I suggest Google

Haha.. ok thanks anyway.

styptic pen is only available overseas. I bought mine in Boots London. Its very stinging when applied. Its even more painful than the actual nicking by the blade.

in fact feeling on your hands does not tell u anytjhing, different blades different feel too on the face.
U have to shave with it to really feel.

I don't dont think any shops will let u test on your face.

well Alum Block does the same too, its meant to be a stop bleeding, stringent and antibacterial not reduce sting.
I buy Osma Alum Block, when the bleeding stops apply your toner/after shave and cream.

Ya, that's the difficult part. Else it's really try and error. Anyway, I've been doing a bit of reading and I think I'll go with Merkur 34c.

there are alot of reviews on videos too
