@carbman,

currently i am using my late grandfather's Gillette Super Adjustable (fr 1960s or 1970s). single blades rock n i don't get those irritating shaving bumps/acne anymore. I don't have much facial hair so for shaving I use Shiseido Men Shaving Cream or Shiseido Men Cleaning Foam (doubles up as shaving foam).

I am using Gillette Super Nacet blades...bought a new pack fr mamak sundry shop last week. Super Nacet still in production ? What blades do u use for your Edwin Jagger ?

That's good news to me...I will be using my Super Adjustable for many more years haha...and maybe pass it on to my kids...

Definitely won't sell...considered family heirloom edi

btw...other than Gillette Super Nacet...what other brand of similar type blades are available in Malaysia ?

I've tried using warm water b4 when shaving n it did make the skin softer n shaving easier...but its too time consuming plus I don't have much facial hair.

thanks for the offer but I am perfectly happy with my Shiseido Men Shaving Cream

Shaving with double edge safety razors needs skill I tell ya. Been 6 months since I been using a DE and I still get cuts once in a while especially when I'm in a rush.

Local pharmacies do sell styptic pencils right ?

Where can I get a stand/holder for my DE razor ? other than online means.

u shud try posting ur question at badger n blade. over here hard to get answers. i posted at B&B b4 n u will get a lot of help.

how much were the tabac n old spice shaving creams ?

guys that use straight razors, i have a question.

is it easier to shape sideburns/facial hair with a straight razor ?

getting that straight horizontal line at the end of the sideburns has always been hard 4 me. those multi blade razors were hopeless. my Gillette Super Adjustable fared better although the shape made it hard to shape sideburns.

I dun have much facial hair. cant even grow thick sideburns. i got those typical chinese sideburns. mustache, soul patch n some chin hairs is all i can grow. sparse. but each hair is thick so i need to shave daily.

i used to use a DE razor. i been using disposables for the past 6 months.

I feel like going back to using DE razor or maybe try straight razor but sometimes i think those kind of razors r more suited for guys that have a lot of facial hair. all d pre shave prep to shave so lil facial hair seems pointless n troublesome.

what u guys think ?

A Gillette Super Adjustable (70s model i think).

seems tedious those steps. i seem to be getting along fine by washing face den apply shave gel n shaving with Schick Exacta 2 disposable.

yea i guess i shud just stick to disposables for d time being.

d Gillette has much sentimental value as it belonged to my late grandfather. he left another 2 more Gillette DE razors way back from d 1940s...unused n one even came in a box set with brush. im looking to restore that one as there is a lot of oxidization.

they just dun make razors like they used to.

Bought a can of Old Spice shaving foam from Mydin for RM8.90. pretty big can too, 310g. Made in Canada.

It has a very masculine scent. nothing like the scent of the usual Nivea or Gillette shaving foams. the foam is very dense straight out of the can.

however performance wise it did a slightly better job than my usual Schick n Nivea. it still feels like the foam floats on top of the facial hair n this makes my shaves kinda "dry".
