A tip for shave in the AM+ride+sweat= burn Witch Hazel prevents it, found in any drug dept of any store. 16 fl. oz. bottles. My favorite is Thayers though, it's alcohol free and soothes like no other. http://www.thayers.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3 -- You received this message

[RBW] Re: Man-Topic [Shaving Facial Hair]

I started shaving with a DE safety razor instead of my old Mach 3 a couple months ago and haven't looked back. I also started doing the brush/cream/cup/aftershave thing too. You should checkout the badgerandblade.com forums. There is a lot of great shaving info there, and a really nice group of

I think it's marginally on-topic. Right up there with "Pine Tar Talk." I use a brush and a mug and a Gillette zoom-zoom thingie. Mach 3. I have two brushes I bought at a garage sale when I was a teenager (I'm 41 now). One is too long and stiff, and flings soap everywhere but on my face. I never us

That's exactly what I had... thanks for the link. I'm motivated to get a replacement! I'm guessing this is the Rivendell version of razors: http://www.classicshaving.com/catalog/item/4497394/7566546.htm On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 9:49 PM, Horace wrote: > On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 6:23 PM, cyclotou

Re: [RBW] Re: Man-Topic [Shaving Facial Hair]

Not so much area, as speed w/ my growth. If I don't do it daily, a disposable (twin blade only) just gets plugged up and useless. Blades are still sharp but it's plugged up. I need a safety razor (like a safety bicycle!) just for that. Hence the lament for grand dad's razor and thoughts of gett

[RBW] Re: Man-Topic [Shaving Facial Hair]

Once you jump into the world of wet shaving you will never look back. Have fun. I have been usinf a brush and soap since Highschool, 20 years ago, god it has been that long. I used the straight razors for a bit, but the return on time and money hits a sweet spot with the double edge razors. I wa

I have/had a great safety razor from my grandfather, but misplaced it after a few moves. Really bummed about it. I had a beard for the last year or so as I got tired of shaving and hate electrics and disposables equally. I need to find that razor or get a new one. I'd trim my beard monthly or s
