English shaving co. ? The usually have 15% off or free shipping without min order

Hi guys.

I'm so happy to know that there are quite a number of wet shavers in Malaysia.
I've been wet shaving for the last 22 years. But all this while I was using really bad safety razors. Never really knew how much difference a good razor makes. Then after much research, I decided to get the Edwin Jagger DE89. Holy cow! What a razor!! No razor burns, nicks etc. I use Gillette Wilkinson Sword as well as Astra blades.
The Gillette Wilkinson Swords are superb.
Anyways, any idea where I can get hold of Arko soaps? I heard some good things about them.

Gillette NEW Deluxe with Nivea Men Shave Stick and Aftershave Lotion...

I got them from overseas.

The Post Shave Balm is available at local pharmacies/grocery stores...

Wait the handle makes so much difference? I thought it's the blades which matter.
Im using some China baili brand maybe I should change it better ones?

Edwin Jagger razors have the same heads. However there are various types of handles. The price of the razor depends on the type of handle you choose. I have the chrome as well as the black handle.
As for blades, these are very important. I currently use the Gillette Wilkinson Sword. These are sharp and very smooth. I have tried many blades but this one is awesome. For me these are better than Astra.

Whoa! Cool sets. Any idea where can I get it locally?

Sigh. I just got like a whole box of Arkos...
And I have other creams too to spice things up once in a while.

Hi. Any idea where I can purchase Arko soaps locally? I get them online. But delivery time can be very slow. If u have any to sell, I'll be happy to.purchase.

Recently found a Malaysian brand Cukur (made in India) safety razor. Selling around Rm40+. Anyone here have any experience with it ? Ada bagus a ?

Too costly, Rockwell 6C better value

And I totally agree with you. Rockwell 6C is indeed the better buy but some people here are collectors and they might be interested lol

Hi Guys.

Just would like to share some insights on shaving (facial hair, that is!).

My occupation prefers (but does not require) me to be clean-shaven, and until recently, I've had trouble with shaving.  Mind you, I'm hitting 31 this year, so I'm no newbie to razor burns, nicks and cuts.

I used to use multi-bladed cartridge shavers (Gillete, Shick, Bic) with canned spray-foam. A summary of my problems:

1.  I ALWAYS had razor burns in order to attain a near- 'baby-smooth-shave'. This prevented me shaving daily as my face needed healing time.

2.  Shaving cartridge blades are expensive. RM10 per cartridge for a Mach 3.

3.  Due to no.2 above, I tend to use the blades longer (like a week or two) before changing them. This dulled the blades, causing further 'no.1' problems.

4.  Sometimes, I got ingrown hairs (yuk)
Anyway, went searching for an alternative, and the first thing I did was change the foam. From canned-spray, I started using home-made shaving soaps, mixed into a thick, luxurious lather with a shaving brush. This was OK, I got less of the burns, but the shave quality was still S***.

So, I got myself my first ol-skool double-edged razor. Was the only one available, less than RM10 per razor, and about RM2 per pack of 5 blades.  First shave was horrible. Scarry as hell. Thanks to the internet and practice, got me a good routine going, and got closer shaves than was ever possible with a cartridge razor.

By now, I managed to source real shaving soap. It really makes a mockery of the 'whipped-cream' sold in supermarkets.

But I wanted to grow up, and get a proper DE razor. Never found one in KL. Even Acca Kappa doesn't stock 'em.  I thought that with all the cheap blades being sold everywhere (mostly at Indian grocery shops), one would easily find a quality DE razor. Was wrong.  Best I could find was an RM4 made in China number that tried to carve my face off!

Anyway, long story short, I got my Edwin Jagger DE89 and got me the closest shave ever. Really, a BBS! No bleeding, no razor burn, and no stinging while putting aftershave. 

I now shave everyday, and I S*** you not, its actually enjoyable!

Here's my gear:

I am new to wet shaving, switched from catridge to safety razor because of skin irritation.

Now using Baili Butterfly, Super nacet blade, Proraso shaving soap, some unknown badger brush and nivea after shave balm. I am so glad that I changed to safety razor! No more irritation on the skin.

I was aiming to buy a EJ or Muhle razor but was put off by the price and worried that I might not like them. I searched at Aliexpress and found a chinese company selling almost identical product to Muhle R89 and EJ DE89 head. Already placed my order and if I find it to be any good will post my review here!
