Only online. Go connought shaving the cheapest around and cheap shipping. Kl consumables blades, shaving soap.

I think it have to do with the technology improvement I guess... yes Cartridge is expensive but some how DE give a more nick and cuts as it is sharper on DE and also fixed DE head.

Then again, Mach 3 is cheap enough and you can use it shave other part of body with ease... 

Just started using DE but with a China made Razor, still sourcing for a good razor .

Just wondering how do you guys dispose the DE blades properly ? Hopefully you guys just don't wrap and throw in the trash can ?

How do you use that shavette? Do you have to break the de blades in half?

Interesting. But feels scary at the same time to use a straight razor

I am a DE user. How does the shavette compare to DE in terms of techniques? Is the shavette aggressive?

Didn't know there was a thread on this. I'm currently using a Phillips electric razor (cost around RM 700+ I think) and while it does it's job ok enough I've been reading about DE razors and how much better they are.

I saw a Feather razor on Massdrop. Apparently it's regarded as one of the best 'mild' shavers, i.e. one that is not too aggressive to your skin and is suited for those with sensitive skin. Paired with an ultra sharp Feather blade its supposed to bring a close shave while not destroying the skin. Now the price is... USD 145 after the discount. RRP is USD 210. That's a pretty expensive razor, but I'm tempted. It will be my first DE razor.

But I'll have to research a bit before taking the plunge though. Not sure if I can get Feather blades in Malaysia, or how much it takes to ship them here. Also need to consider shaving soaps and brush. All I see here are the Gillete foams.

The link to the Massdrop Feather deal. You have to register at Massdrop before you can see it though.

Guys, where do you buy your DE blades from?
Are Feather DE blades avail in MY?

Are you going to upgrade to a straight razor?
I'm getting the Chinese ZY 430 razor off the bay as soon as the black one is back in stock in a couple of weeks.
Seems to be getting okay reviews and can be honed. Cheap too. 

Is this generally regarded as the best site for shipping to Malaysia?

History of the Alum Block
The alum block is the original antiseptic aftershave which contains mineral salts that were originally used by the ancient Egyptians more than four thousand years ago for its healing and antiseptic properties.

How does an Alum Block work?
The Alum block salts stop bleeding by constricting blood vessels and tightening pores.

Other Uses For Alum Blocks
Using an Alum Block as an Anti Persperant - a Natural Deodorant
For centuries people in the middle and far east have known that applying an Alum Block to the underarms will give excellent odour and sweat protection, an added benefit is it is 100% natural. An Alum Block is ideal for those who wish to use a natural antiperspirant. Apply the Alum Block to the underarms for a totally reliable, non antiperspirant. Alum Blocks are non-scented so you can still use your favourite scented deodorant. Alum Blocks are highly effective in controlling excess sweating.

Anyone use these as post shave alum?

Hi Bro,

Thinking of getting my first safety razor from connaught shaving, is it safe to choose the normal shipping method instead of the one with tracking? Do u usually choose the tracking option ? haha trying to see i can save on the shipping or not .. the prices at connaught very the attractive hehe!

excited to ditch all my 2 blades painful plastic razors lol!

thanks!

Well after buying the AS-D2, I needed a shaving cream and brush, so I'm planning on getting the following:

1. Taylor of Old Bond Street Shaving Cream - Avocado (GBP 7.50)
http://connaughtshaving.com/tayscb.html

2. Edwin Jagger EJ28 synthetic brush (GBP 27.50)
http://connaughtshaving.com/3ej282synst.html

Any thoughts or comments before I commit? Thanks.

Wow that sounds adventurous. I'm assuming the oil will gunk up the razor? Need to properly wash it after each shave then.

However if it works then it works. How does it compare to using a sharp inf cream or soap? I guess you don't even need a shaving brush then huh?

Btw, I've read through this thread and see Haniffa Textiles being mentioned a few times. Are the shaving creams and brushes there worthwhile?

Gillette Rocket HD + Gillette Silver Blue = Comfortable BBS shave.

Hi, where can i get a shavette?

I have placed another order with them since that post. Both I used normal shipping. No problems and quite fast. A bit more than a week to get to me.
