Cheers Vote4Pedro, the razor arrived safely today and it looks great! Didn't realise it was an open comb so I might have to put the blood bank on speed dial

Glad you got it safely,
I thought it was very mild for an open comb razor, that's why I had it for sale.
Hope you give it a good trail and that you like it.

lizzyman

It's definitely mild, I'd say even a bit milder than the DE89. Tried it tonight and had no razor burn or nicks at all. Can't say I was impressed with the BIC blade I tried though, will give it another run with a Gilette Silver blue tomorrow.

Hi All,

I think I've found my perfect shaver so I currently have a Merkur 41C 1904 for sale as well as a brand new Bevel razor.

Link to the Markur on Adverts: http://www.adverts.ie/hair-care-grooming/merkur-41c-open-comb-de-razor/7818560

Merkur including postage anywhere in Ireland: €20

The Bevel is a very mild razor, a bit milder than a DE89 example but with a sharp blade like a feather or a Gilette Silver blue it is an extremely efficient shaver. They tested it in clinical trials and participants saw a 40 percent reduction in irritation after using the Bevel for four weeks so it could work for anyone with sensitive skin looking for a milder razor. Beautiful brass handle finished in a satin chrome. The company website is https://getbevel.com/ and there is a good review from mantic59 here: http://sharpologist.com/2014/03/bevel.html

The Bevel is brand new, only used a few times. It cost me €71 including shipping to Ireland. I'll let this go for €50 including postage anywhere in Ireland.

Hi lizzyman. I'm usually a straight shaver, in fact never tried these before. If you throw in a few blades I'd gladly take the 41c.

Paypal works for me, pm if available.

No problem cardwizzard, I'll throw in some blades with the razor. Will PM you to arrange paypal and postage.

Merkur 41C is now sold.

The Bevel is still available, there is a review from from Mantic 59 here and you can see it in action here:

and some pics:









I actually have two of these hence the reason for selling one.

Cheers, hope you get on well with it!

Slightly unrelated to shaving but I got an unwanted gift of some French bath soaps (http://www.maison-du-savon.com/en/). I can't use them as both bars are pretty stongly scented so I'll happily post these on for free to anyone who might want them. I think postage will come to about a €5 or thereabouts.

If anyone is interested I'm also PIFing an almost full bottle of Thayers unscented witch hazel with aloe vera

hitemfrank

Did you get around to ordering some of the Unscented Nannys Silly Soap? If not, I'll send you the just under half jar I have if you want in exchange for the Thayers.

Sounds good! Don't suppose you have any spare injector blades lying around?

hitemfrank

Yeah, I should have a nearly full cartridge I can send your way.

lizzyman

Hi Folks,

I'm dropping the cost of the Bevel down to €30 + postage. Any takers?

Thanks,
James

I have a stock of shaving soap that, to me, could be called 'ínfinite'. I am likely to shuffle off this mortal coil with plenty left over!

Making room in the 'shaving chest' at the moment and I'm quite happy to send out any overflow for other forum members to test and hopefully enjoy.

I have two tubs of Monsavon for anyone to take, free. All that I ask is that you have posted at least once, in Facial Hair & Hats, before the date of this post.

1 tub per member. Stock is new and sealed (see below), there's no hygiene issues.

Make a request for a tub below and I'll send out the shaving soaps on Monday the 11th.

hitemfrank

Oh me please. I've wanted to try out Monsavon for ages but haven't had the opportunity to get some.

Amalgam

Grand hitemfrank. This is the 'post Unilever' takeover of Monsavon, so, I don't know if things have been tweaked for better or for worse.

Stalk your Postman/Postwoman..

1 tub left.

Buddy97mm

Would love to try if still available please.

Buddy97mm, sure, send me a PM with a postal address of some sort and the Monsavon will make its way to you on Monday.

All tubs taken, for now. Cheers.

lizzyman

Ok gents, I have a vintage Schick Injector M45 that I bought recently. After a few tries I don't think it's right for me so I'm going to PIF this one out to anyone who wants it. If you want to send me a few soaps/creams or something in return that would be appreciated.

Here's a link to the ebay description and photos: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/131474248130?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Takers?

Would love to try that lizzyman but don't have any trades. Would you sell?

Edit: just realised its a specific custom blade. I'll retract my interest. Thanks anyway.

Van Halen fan eh?

The blades are easily available from Connaught for £4.80 per 20 and from what I've heard they last a bit longer than a standard DE blade because they're thicker. http://connaughtshaving.com/injectorblades.html

Many thanks Amalgam, Monsavon soap arrived this morning. Really looking forward to trying it, as have a preference for soft soaps.

Monsavon is quite unique, in today's market. Enjoy.

Fair play to An Post, posted from the GPO (Dublin) in the afternoon, about 3.30pm..

Both of these arrived this morning and I'll be trying them both out later on, thanks guys!

lizzyman

Great stuff. Hope the witch hazel didn't leak!

hitemfrank

It did a little bit but only a little. Have you tried out the soap yet?

Shíte. Thought it might. At least it's the unscented. Don't think your postman would be too happy if a regular witch hazel leaked!

I've used the soap a few times. No smell from it at all which I like but I'm finding it a bit tricky to lather since I'm more used to using creams.

hitemfrank

None actually spilled out of the bag/envelope it was in so I don't think much leaked at all.

I had more luck lathering one of Nannies soaps/creams (it was in between) by taking a little bit out of the container and lathering it in a bowl. Give that a try if you haven't already. And try a brush with very little water left in it. You can always add water to it if needed.

Buddy97mm

Tried the Monsavon both yesterday and today. Had a few issues yesterday generating lather but realised that it was due to newish boar brush still breaking in. Excellent lather this morning with my trusty Semogue - slick, creamy luxurious lather, BBS shave. Mild but pleasant scent, can see this getting lots of use. Gratitude again Amalgam.
