    Shaving Private area

    Nothing wrong with a bit of personal grooming ;) The irony is that for this purpose I find a ball-end tech (open comb) to be the most effective razor.

    New DE razor from King C Gillette

    I've just used mine. To give some perspective I tend to use an Aristocrat or DE89 both of which are fairly mild, that said I've worked though quie a few DE razors over the years. The handle is longer and the weight of the new Gillette is more than both of my usual razors. I used my standard...

    Recommend me a soap for hard water

    I think it might be the time to try MDC. Following a couple of crappy years with a business failure and marriage breakdown I've got a new partner, a job I'm loving with a mail order company, I got an unexpected 8% pay rise last month and I'm racking up some serious overtime with the upsurge of...

    Recommend me a soap for hard water

    Like many people I acquired many many soaps and creams, its taken me years to work through them. I've had enough of almond, lime and sandalwood scents, I'm quite likely to buy some more Tabac but before I do I wandered if there are any strongly fragranced, non menthol hard soaps people may...

    Synthetic ?

    I only buy synthetic brushes now as they work fine and are hassle free. AFAIA the only source of badger hair is the Chinese fur trade and I'm not convinced their animal welfare standards are something I wish to support.

    Palm stropping new blades.

    Tried it for a while and never found any difference, might be that the blades I prefer don't benefit.

    Gifts from a client

    Yes it was a very pleasant gesture, I did work hard for them but hadn't expected anything but what we had agreed. Anyway there were 3 straights, one was used as a putty knife but the scales may be salvageable one is almost worn away but was clearly a favourite, I might just clean it and hone it...

    Gifts from a client

    Thanks for the reply, the weight of no.1 is 33.8g, and having looked at that site I suspect that it is the Aristocrat Jnr which goes with this box however the Aristocrat #66 was in it when I got them - Hence my assumption.

    A family I had been doing some work for had some came across some razors while they were clearing their father's house when he had to go into dementia care. I suggested they put them on ebay but instead they gave them to me as a thank you as they were happy with my work. There are a couple of...

    Paypal Fees?

    At the end of the day the seller is under no obligation to accept payment by paypal. If people want payment through paypal they should set the price to include the fees but if they are happy with cash on collection or other payment methods they could always offer a discount if paying that way.

    Hones specifics

    I find it quicker to use a King 1000 (well that side of a 1000/6000 combi) to set the bevel before going to the coticule. FWIW I get my best coticule edges by following this elliptical method of honing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gddcDEz84S0 Its the method that the poster's father...
