If you are ever in Spain, get a tube of the Lea cream. It's an enormous tube, very cheap, and does a very good job.

I have tried both. The Rubies seemed outstanding, and the Nacets are excellent. I seem to think that the Rubies are just a bit better, but that could be me attributing greater value to them simply because I paid more for them. Nacets are terrific value. It's not a bit issue if you have...

I sold a Gillette New to @Helveticum a few years back. I am moving house, and realised that I had the original case and some vintage razors that were part of the Gillette New bundle. I wrote to him asking if he wanted the box to accompany the razor, but haven't heard back from him (if you are...

As an aside, they do a tube of brushless shaving cream. Excellent scent, and although it won't be the best shave on the planet, it's my go to for when i need a rushed one pass and out the door shave.

I had a Boots shaving stick once. I can't remember what it was like. That tells you a lot.

Hi all. I am moving house, and looking to get rid of some items that I just don't use anymore. 1 x Straight Bundle = £25 inc P&P [SOLD] A couple of straights, a strop board, some strop board paste. These straights were sharpened before I got them, and I never used them much, so with the...

I have travelled a lot to Italy over the last few years, and you're right; it's not that easy to find shaving products compared to online. Larger supermarkets have a few things simply because they can carry a large range. However, I've found it's worth popping into pharmacies; sometimes you...

If you're still standing there rinsing after two seconds.... I just dunk it in water in the basin. Submerge it, pull it out, give it a flick, and then start loading it.

I just bought a tech from @NatJag , and must credit him for presenting a razor in absolutely tip-top nick. I don't know what version it is, but it looked like new. I've owned about 15 different razors, and have sold most of them. These days I mostly use my 37c for when there's a few days...

Hi I'm looking for a decent Gillett Tech. Needs to be good/decent condition rather than perfect. I had one but it got stolen when we were burgled about 18 months ago. I am hunting around on the bay, but thought that someone here may have one that is taking up draw space and needs a new...

Interesting. I got given a box of 100 Astras about 6 months ago. I don't rate them in my 37c at all, but find they match well with my SuperSpeed. There's a weird, unfathomable interaction between user, razor and blade, and trying to work it out...? Well, it's just one of those things.

Still the best is MWF, laid in an empty plastic container from another soap. Add enough water to cover the soap. Add lime essential oils, leave it overnight or even a couple of dahys. Empty water out. Bingo, a fabulous lime version of MWF.

I had exactly the same experience with the Boots stick, and have found exactly the same use for the plastic container. You are a genius. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Damn right it is. (y)

Good work. Here's another thing. You've got a set of kit there that will do the job marvellously. Nothing wrong with the palmolive cream at all, and although there are 12,492 different types of brush on the market, that one will no doubt creat a decent lather. You are at peak simplicity...

Cold water shaving is the only way to go. Anyone hotwater shaving is deliberately trying to sabotage the environment, causing massive climate change, which will create a shift in the global geo-political economic structure, push millions into new migration waves, causing a breakdown in the...

I have a Gillette Slim in nice condition that needs a new home if you decided that was of interest.

I may have been exagerating a little when I said 2 hours. I really like that brush - must get myself one at some stage. It's super cool.
