    I use an aluminium Above The Tie SE1 with Shick Proline blades when I don't have the time for a straight shave. The razor/blade combination is very efficient and gentle and the light weight allows full control of whatever pressure you need.

    Is there life after OSP?

    You could try Martin De Candre. I really enjoy the Vetyver scent.

    So... Shavette or DE?

    Hello. I am a 4th generation barber in my family business. My advice, if you would like, is to put away those useless shavette razors and buy a Feather Club Artist razor and pair it with the Shick Proline P30's. I use these every day, 6 days a week and they are a “cut” above the rest!

    Very nice looking razor sir! Is that a kamisori fitted with western scales? Also is it tamahagane steel?

    First straight shave, ups and downs.

    I agree with all the comments above. Here are a few things I learned that work for me and my customers. Warm water only. Too hot and the skin expands. I personally use luke warm water for my own shaves. Stretch that skin!! Stretching what you are shaving is the number one way to get a good...
