Holy moly that's a lot of razors!! Do you use them all or have one that you use on special occasions or are they mainly just for looking at?
Ooops forgot to mention the Merkur Futur too
I use most of them occasionally, but my daily razor is the Fat Boy with a Feather blade. I've a couple of very old ones that I've never used such as the Gillette Stubby travel razor and a 1920s Schick Injector, which is an SE razor. I noticed that Connaught sell the blades for them so next time I place an order I'll pick some up and give it a go.

Whats the name of the shop MT?
Oh btw... Almalgam just got the 500th post in this thread!
I thought it was MediaTank, the post after..Was walking down South William St last night, there's a mens grooming shop that sells the full line of Proraso products, if any of you prefer bricks and mortar. I didn't go in, so I don't know what the prices are like.
Another shaving cream to try is Cade by L'Occitane, it's very interesting as the 'active' ingredient is juniper berries!
Great stuff, nice to hold items in the hand sometimes, before buying.. I'll drop in tomorrow (Sat. 9am - 6pm) and have a good mooch. For anyone curious, there's a map with their location here: http://www.thegroomingrooms.com/contact.php
I have to say, I find L'Occitane overpriced, not familiar with pricing abroad, but for what you get, here in Dublin, good grief, steep.Ive been outbid for this baby..
dbar, prices for the Fatboy are hysterical on eBay at the moment, sign up to Badger & Blade and watch the listings at the:
Badger & Blade - B\S\T

You'll get a Fatboy for as low as $20 US. You can also (as a member), put up a 'WTB' (want to buy). The $20 Fatboy will be a 'shaver', not a looker.0 -

Cheaper in the States and mainland Eurooe for sure. However the tube is big and lasts a long time. The only issue is that the smell (gin) takes a little getting used to.
No sweetness to that, bitter?

Just to say, I spoke to a person that had been DE shaving for decades, but never opened their mind to the idea of using anything other than Gillette or Wilkinson blades from the supermarket, in their razor.
I slipped him a few IP's and Feathers.. and some URL's printed out. I'm due to hear back from him tonight. I feel a bit.. I didn't really tell him what the Feathers were like, not out of spite, I just forgot.. 0 -

I hope you've a styptic pencil for him !
The IPs are safe enough as you know, in fact after moving back to them
after using a Feather I've had my best shaves ever without any nicks, cuts, weepers or razor burn.0 -
