    Semogue boar brushes deteriorate

    This is what I found on another site. The 830 and the 1305 seems to have the same knot.

    The Fat vs the DRHarris Winsor

    I like both soaps. D.R. Harris, (when bowl lathering), can take more water than MF. They load better when you soak them while showering. The Windsor I find a bit better.

    New to this. Help needed

    Hello and welcome. I would start with something not to expensive like a shavette or a cheep vintage straight. If you decide to go for a vintage be sure to get it honed by someone who knows how to do it properly. DON'T THRUST IT TO BE SHAVE READY even if the seller claims it to be so. You also...

    Only two soaps.

    As nolisco said: I Coloniali Mango Oil for holidays and MWF for the rest of the week. There is one option for weekdays, D.R Harris Windsor, as I love the smell and it gives a superb glide and cushion.

    A question I'd like you to answer, please ...

    When I started straight shaving, about 11 years ago, I shaved both sides with the right hand for about 2-3 weeks. Then tried to shave my left with the left hand. Felt odd to say the least. But after a short time it came natural to me. Nowadays when I try to shave the left side with my right hand...

    Just getting into straights

    Lots of options, lots of traps. I would go for either a vintage Solingen or Sheffield, 5/8 or 6/8. Going bigger can result in disappointment. Starting with a GD isn´t an option if you want to keep value. Wedge or hollow, straight or smile? What suits your face? You will learn as you go. As...

    Cut throat help needed.

    I don´t know about the Evolution Straight, but I suspect it´s made in China or Pakistan. If so these straights are known to be problematic to get an edge on. Take lots of skill. The angle of 30 degrees seems to me as a bit much. The blade should be laid flat to the stone and honed that way...

    Where to buy replacement knots

    You can try the bay. Search for Ace shaving or Virginia Sheng in stores. I can´t tell you about the synthetics but I have been shopping boar and badger from Ace shaving and they are all right. Up to three week for delivery.

    Straight razor shave vs DE shave...

    I´m a straight shaver since 10 years. Do have a DE. I´m using the straight for approximately 99% of the time. Doing two passes every day and a cleanup. I´ve found that a smiling edge is the way to go when it comes to "hard get at places". It creeps in to all these wrinkles and hollows that...

    "old spice" cream in tubes

    I got a Old Spice tub a while ago,(the Musk version). Just had to try it. It´s made in India by the way. The smell is not that good, like a rancid mouse. It lathers well and have a good glide but not my piece of cake.

    Garden play time, lets talk roses and lavender and violet

    I used the Klar kabinet soap when it was around. I found the smell to be very good as well as the lather abilities cushion etc . A clean smell of roses. Today it´s said to been taken over by Dussy and I haven´t had the opportunity to try it out. But I will when the stock in use crimps down.
