What OC to get after Muhle89

Hi All

I would like to try an open comb, and read some reviews on the Merkur15c/41c and Muhle41/101 and Parker22. Right now i got a Muhle 89 as my only razor and im still wet behind my ears in the use of it. (been shaving for a little over a month on a daily basis).

I had a great debate with some of you gents here about blades (where i almost cant tell a difference to be honest). Some said that the difference in the middle range is subtle, but some also pointed out, that it can be partly...

Odd Idea

Dunno if this has been covered before....

I am one of those who prides themself on purchasing excellent shaving soap and shaving cream, and of course the cheapest bowls to offset the expensive soaps and creams. The neverending search. On the razor side, have landed on Feather blades, Gillette Fusion, to name a couple.

However, after much rooting around for the ideal shaving cream, lotion, soap, I came up with the following which for me works wonderfully well. Largely because I can control the amount of water easily. Very easily.

I had purchased a set of 4 plastic dispensers that create foam. About 1/10th liquid soap to 9/10ths water. Creates foam. Cool.

Soooo, I thought why not try it for shaving. I supplied about 25% Dr Bronners Lavender into one of these plastic foam-ie dispensers, the rest distilled, and added several drops of of jojoba oil. Shazaam... it worked. Great-ly. I have tried this combination of Dr Bronners soap, some drops of oil, and water... and hafta say, this has worked great. Am playing with ratios of oil and soap to water, but hey, it prefoams the results and I skip the action of creating bow,s of foam with a brush. Which I admit is a great tradition. But this is very fast, very effective, and it flay out works. I can also play with the ratios of soap to oil. And very much like the ability to modify the amount of oil.

This works very well, for me. The Dr Bronners soap can be changed to whatever soap, tho this core soap work well. And adding for me, Jojoba oil... perfect. And also in the FWIW Dept, this can be a very inexpensive approach. Very little soap is used due to the foaming action of these plastic foamer dispensers, and the oil,.. that is the diff. Increasing the amount of oil... hey, this method works far faster, far easier, presents foam foam foam, and elements of oil within the foam, all controlled by you... and it just is fascinating. While it is not on par of the work to create, say, Taylor of Old Bond Avocado cream which is my fav, it is very close. Speed, efficiency... this works very well. I am now using this method for 4 out of 5 shaves. And am sure my techniques will improve/ But hafta say... this tweak work very, very well. And I am done in 80% less of the time...

Vegan Strop And 2 Straight Razors

Vegan Strop And 2 Straight Razors

Vegan strop from Heirloom Razor Strop Company - barely used.
Custom Razor purchased from seller on B&B and a second from ebay. Both have a hint of rust on the pinkie nub, and are in need of a sharpening.

I shaved with these for a few months in 2009 or 2010. Then put them away, and recently found them when I moved. I want them to go to a good home where they will be taken care of and used.
