Chris, two questions:

Will the Muhle blade guard fit my Feather All-Stainless?

What's the knot diameter of the Omega 81064?

Thanks

Hi, Yes it fits the Feather also. The knot of the Omega is 25mm with a loft of 59mm. Thanks.

Hi, apologies if in the wrong thread but I am looking to buy Treet razor blades and I couldn't find any on Shaving.ie (as far as I could tell!). If not, could you recommend somewhere I could grab them or do you have any connected websites/sellers you could suggest?

hitemfrank

Connaughtshaving.com in the UK have them.

I probably have some Treet Classics available and will add them when I double check at work tomorrow. Thanks.

finally took the plunge and ordered myself some proper shaving gear. won't have to put up with permanent 5 o clock shadow from this cheap bic's any longer

got the basic starter kit with the muhle and some Proraso Sensitive Shaving Soap as well as proraso pre(post?) green tea + oat cream. have unbelievably sensitive skin as well as rosacea/seb derm so any little thing I can get to make the process of scraping dead hair off my face less painful is worth getting

kinda raging i shaved this morning now.

Massage some onto your face 5 mins before you shower. After a few minutes in the shower you can wash it off. Then shave when you get out of the shower.

strelok

do i have to wash it off? i've seen a few people online suggest they leave it on before lathering, some even reapply it in between lathers

jpb1974

What I described is purely my routine - I use it sorta like a pre-shave conditioner in that manner and it works really well for me. Leaving it on is an option, but I've heard some say it can interfere with your lather.

strelok

cool beans. plenty of time to learn anyway

jpb1974

If you watch some of the barber hot towel shaves on Youtube, you'll notice that they put the Proraso pre-shave on before the hot towel. The hot towel is then applied and at the end the face would be wiped down before the lather is applied. My showering method basically replicates this and, I have to say, I get the absolute best shaves when I put in the effort on the prep.

strelok

shaved my head with my newish wahl balding clippers and decided to throw some of the green tea+ oat anti irritation cream on there after. nice soothing feeling and the flakes/dandruff/irritated skin whatever aren't to be seen any more

love it. tomorrow, my face

strelok

well, that was easy. i was expecting some big ordeal. it was less hassle than regular shaving, my skin is in far better shape than it usually is

i got cocky about how i hadn't cut myself and then cut myself, but only 2 small nicks at the bottom of my neck.. they're just reddening, not bleeding

Nice! Welcome to what might become an obsession....

Do you have an alum block or styptic pencil? (one of these will last ages) That'll help with the little nicks. Also, cold water will help to close it up a little.

strelok

yeah the starter kit came with a styptic pencil


should I turn the blades over in the razor after each shave? I noticed it has a 1/2 and a 3/4 on the left and right side of the top and bottom of the blade, wasn't sure what that was about

hitemfrank

Those numbers are just there for manufacturing purposes. No need to turn the blade over.

I leave it on before lathering. Never had any problems.

I've received some Proraso goodies in the post this morning

I've bought the pre- and post-shave cream for the first time, so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

I've just shaved with a Muhle blade — I got a packet as a freebie in my last shaving.ie order. I used my Merkur 15C.

I always use Feathers and I'm afraid the Muhle isn't nearly as good. It felt like using a Feather for the fourth time (I always stop at three). The shave was good and there is no soreness or burn, but it just wasn't pleasant. It's back to the Feathers tomorrow.

So if anyone would like 9 Muhle blades just DM me and I'll put them in the post. I don't want anything in return.

Thank you

Chris, will you be getting in any more 2 band 26mm or 30mm knot HL Thater Brushes.

New to the world of DE shaving

Thought I'd give it a go as I've to shave daily for work and cartridges were both eating my face and my wallet.

Ordered some bits from Shaving.ie, sample blade pack, soap and a brush. Arrived next day. Excellent stuff.

Already looking at getting a few more bits to leave in my locker in work......my wish list on the site is getting ever longer! But my pay packet keeps saying no! Handy I can save everything in one place and chip away at it as I want and or need it
