This seller on muda.my seems to have quality de shavers... price wise is reasonable...but not for the vintage stuff like Fat boy...

Was it sent from the UK via standard mail?

Nice... May I know where did you purchased it from & price?

May I know where to buy the arko stick in Malaysia?

Hi, Glad to meet you here. Wet shaving is alive & making a comeback, although still niche.. I started wet shaving since last Dec 2015 cause I'm fed up with the soaring prices of cartridge blades. Have tried Gillette, Schick and Shaves2u.
I use an antique Gillette Super Speed rip off made by the Kwan Yung factory ( China) . Still plenty to learn in perfecting the perfect shave. For the brush, I used a filthy cheap boar brush (Eterna brand) , which I bough from Little India , Klang. Not great, but does the job. I've tried Dorco ST300, Astra SP, Gillette 7 O' Clock, Treet, SuperMax. My go to blades will be Astra & Gillette 7 O' Clock.

Have been using it and never looked back since.

Generally, more aggressive due to the open comb. More blade exposure. Great if you have a thick beard

Are there any straight razor users here? I'm using one. Would love to share experience.

It is scary.. Still getting the hang of it

This thread must never die... We should preserve this fantastic & cheapo way to shave for current & future generations.. There is a FB page -Wet Shaving Malaysia. You guys should join. Who knows, we can have a razor meet up one of these days to share experience, knowledge, trade/sell/swap..

What happened bro?

The above offers the best bang for your RM. If you want something aggressive, go for open comb Muhle R41. I would advise that you check out Merkur's Futur adjustable razor.

BTW, what DE blades are you using? It could make a difference. Try using a more aggressive blade in your EJ89. Based on my experience, those with platinum coatings are very mild. Go for the plain super stainless or classic carbon . They're much sharper

OR alternately, you can try getting the TITAN or ZY brand straight razor from Ali Express . Both gets favorable reviews on straight razor forums. I personally own a TITAN. Holds up the edge very well. But over time, you will need to hone it. You can also obtain a honing stone from Ali Express as well. Would recommend at least an 8k grit. If you have extra cash to burn, get the Guangxi stone. This is a natural stone, very forgiving as its a slow cutter. Rumoured to be of 12k grits

Search for Guangxi sharpening stone

It seems that the first affordable version of the 'Futur' design was from MIng Shi. Have read many favorable reviews on this particular brand. No idea about Qshave though. My advice is , go with the crowd
