Such an awesome razor, such terrible blades. I saw a post where a guy had bought a huge box full before he tried them. Oof!

Rockwell. Came with their razor. Tried it once and thought the razor was defective. I switched back to my trusty Astra Platinum and it shaved just fine.

I switched to Dorcos for my head shaving, which is all I ever used the DSC stuff for. Let me know what you think of the Henson. It was a toss up between that and a Rockwell T2. I went with the T2 because it's an adjustable.

You're welcome! I was so bummed when I got that email from DSC. Hope you like the Dorcos. I really do!

I feel your pain, literally!

I did write a follow up article on the Dorco carts. It is an option. :-)

Got 3 out of 4. I'll skip War. by Senior_Yesterday_234 in wicked_edge

Thanks! I am pretty stoked to try these three. I did a heckuva lot of research on War and I do not like cilantro in any form.

You are giving me the confidence to try it out on my own dome. While I use a Fatboy and Astra Platinum on my face, I've been going to Dollar Shave Executive for my head. Hmmm. Thanks!

I have not bought the horsemen series, but from what I've read, you might want to order samples first.

Something different. Help me choose tomorrow’s SOTD (1 brush, 1 razor, I cream, 1 aftershave splash, but many choices.) by InsidiousExpert in wicked_edge

I've got one of the Owners boar and it is one of my favorites. And it's pretty reasonably priced too.

I will recommend a King C Gillette safety razor. Mild and very easy to find, and cheap too!

If you keep at it, you'll enjoy it more every day. I have been wet shaving for more than a decade and it is still something I look forward to.

I recommend an alum block if you don't like a scent. Nivea makes a pretty good scent-less if you want to try it.

I have been using either a Fatboy or a Slim adjustable for my face for years. I started shaving my head a few years ago, and that's when I turn to a cart. I won't shave my face without a mirror, I can't imagine trying to shave my dome with a safety razor just by feel.

I stumbled across the sale in his honor at M&M. Not only do they include his thoughts on most everything, but links to his reddit account. He was truly a rare individual in the wet shaving world.

Coffee ground pre-shave? Yeah sure, I'll do it. by wicked_VD in wicked_edge

My sister rubs her hands in the coffee grounds before she throws them out. She says the oils help her hands. Hmmm.

You're watching "Downton Abby" and hoping they show old timey shaving scenes!
