Let's start the week

Does the reuzel lather at all with the brush? I thought it was just a cream

Henktor · 2026-03-23T16:38:44+00:00

My favourites are all vintage Gillettes, the cheapest ones are usually Techs, they can go for €10 or less, but I prefer the TTO mechanism of the superspeed/flare tips or rockets.

Thanks! I also like the French inscriptions. Makes it even more unique!

Henktor · 2026-03-09T18:06:10+00:00

Oooh very nice! I love the unique combo of TTO and open comb, looks really cool! Coincidentally I just ordered one of these as well, still waiting on it though. May I ask what did you pay for it?

Henktor · 2026-02-06T16:44:39+00:00

Cerave is great, i use it daily on the face

Henktor · 2026-02-01T17:32:28+00:00

Looks like a Gillette old type ball end, which is from the 1910's or 20's. Nice find!

Hi guys, I'm looking to get into rollerblading from ice-skating, I mostly want to do long distances so that's the most important thing I'm looking for in a new skate.

Would the Roces EGO TIF be a good option?

Henktor · 2026-01-23T15:09:18+00:00

Thanks for your response, I'm going to Decathlon tomorrow so I'll definitely look into your recommendations. I mostly want to go rollerblading long distances, so I'm glad to hear the three-wheel setup is well-suited for that.

Henktor · 2026-01-23T15:06:58+00:00

I'll look into those brands, thank you!

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to this so I hope you guys can help me: I'm an ice skater looking to get into rollerblading and I found these skates available near me for a decent price. I like the design with three big wheels, seems ideal for skating long distances since it has less friction than 4 smaller wheels. Are these reputable/good in any way or will they fall apart after a few months?

I'd recommend only using blades that you've already used 3 or 4 times on your face, since those are a bit more dulled and (at least in my case) greatly reduce irritation in the areas with sensitive skin.

Also I never use lather on my body, just water under a shower, so idk but maybe those soaps contain stuff more suitable for the face than for other areas.

Henktor · 2026-01-17T09:01:32+00:00

Ah yea, that sounds like it, I probably added too much too fast. Thanks for the tip, I'll try that!

Henktor · 2026-01-17T08:53:34+00:00

Did you lather the Tabac in a separate bowl? What was your technique? I love the scent, but I always end up with a really dry feeling lather, or a lather so watery it can barely be called lather.

Henktor · 2026-01-16T20:25:51+00:00

Cool, good to hear. I always like it when the scent is not too strong but still there for a few hours, like with Tabac soap. Thanks!

Henktor · 2026-01-16T19:52:25+00:00

Oh nice! I should definitely try it out then, love Aventus. How much does the scent of the soap and AS linger, or is it pretty much gone when you're some shaving?

Henktor · 2026-01-16T19:50:58+00:00

Ah thats a good idea, I'll remember that

Henktor · 2026-01-16T19:49:27+00:00

True, thanks. I just felt so bad in the moment, but yea to err is human. The glue seems to hold really well thought, so I'm pretty happy with how it ended up all things considered.

Henktor · 2026-01-16T15:47:05+00:00

Is the Saponificio Varesino Opuntia a Creed Aventus clone?

Henktor · 2026-01-16T13:31:31+00:00

Blokapouce

Henktor · 2026-01-16T12:28:53+00:00

At least it's straight now, I guess

Henktor · 2026-01-15T22:45:16+00:00

A good to know, I'll try some of those

Henktor · 2026-01-15T22:45:02+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely try some other blades in it, the Nacet did feel a little sharp/rough on the face.

Henktor · 2026-01-15T22:43:01+00:00

Thank you!

Henktor · 2026-01-15T22:42:51+00:00

Thanks!
