    Newest Synthetic Style: FlatTop

    I agree with your assessment. Foul is about right. Handles are the only reason I don't have any of his brushes in my den.

    Palmolive soap sticks problem

    That would be too obvious and too easy. I use soaps exclusively and make lather the old Italian way. AKA Marco's method, for some odd reason.

    Palmolive soap sticks problem

    Even better, the former triple milled soap that is now quadruple milled. A hammer plus physics.

    Palmolive soap sticks problem

    That would be a mistake, since the soap is indeed fantastic. Not just about the best value as a shaving soap, but it is a solid performer. If using it as a stick doesn't work for you, just grate it in a bowl and use it that way. It is much easier to load and you can tune the lather the way you...

    Mule R41 vs Feather AS-D2 for heavy/thick beard

    In my opinion you will not be happy with any of the answers. The only way you are going to find all the answers to your questions is to buy the Feather ASD-D2 and see for yourself. Like all the people that replied to your posts, already. That will answer all your questions and eliminate all the...

    Soap vs Cream

    I use soaps, exclusively I prefer soaps because they come in simple and biodegradable containers. Well, most of them, or at least the ones I have. In my opinion it is not worth the extra time & effort of loading soap. Creams are much easier to work with and give more consistent results.

    Best Deodorants

    This is an antiperspirant. A bit different than a deodorant. Excerpt from drugbank.ca: "Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly Accession Number DB11200 Type Small Molecule Groups Approved Description Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly is complex that consists of aluminum zirconium...

    Best Deodorants

    I have been using potassium alum for years and I find it to be the best deodorant for me. It is odorless, does not stain, does not clog pores, it works for 24hrs, best value since $5 will last one year. I use it in a crystal form but do make the liquid deodorant for the rest of my family (just...

    Semogue badger shaving brushes

    I do have a 2band SOC in cherry as part of my Semogue collection. Don't ask. However, I do not have any other badger from them. Oh well, I think I will get a SOC in ash and that should be enough of retail therapy. Thank you all for your replies.

    Semogue badger shaving brushes

    Hello all, Just asking for some feedback about Semogue badger brushes. When it comes to boar brushes, it's no secret, Semogue brushes are my favorite. However, I never tried a badger brush from them, like 2015HD, 2040HD, 730HD. The Knot to Loft ratio always discouraged me and honestly, I do not...

    Perma sharp

    Feather blades are fantastic for me and they would be favorite if they would last a bit longer. I only get two or three shaves from a Feather, before it goes down. And when that happens it gives me nicks. Perma-Sharps are not as sharp as Feathers, in my opinion, but they last at least 6 shaves...

    Are these really Stainless?

    Price fixing, either way. Consumers lose the most, either way. A certain brush manufacturer has such agreement, if I am not mistaken.

    Fake Shark blades?

    Most likely a botched heat treatment at the factory since "edges are full of nicks".

    Are these really Stainless?

    Does it say "stainless steel" anywhere on packaging? I see "stainless", but not "stainless steel".
