Hi Gents,

Long time wet shaver, but new to the forum.
Looking forward to chatting with you all.

Currently eyes are wandering at Saponificio Varesino stuff.... right now I have stuff from PAA, B&M, Mike's and Caties Bubbles - but SV seems to be held in very high regard.

Have a great day!
Tom
 

Hi Tom! Welcome to one of the coolest corners of the interwebs! We have a bunch of fun with our shave of the day photos and member shaving videos. We have weekly and bi-weekly zoom video calls(video not mandatory) a game night and the Sunday get together. Hope to see you posting soon!

Which is your favorite Barrister and Mann? I really like Barrister and Mann's Fougere Gothique and Mike's Lavendar.

Best wishes,

Matt

Matt,

I only have Nordost and Seville. Prefer Seville.
I tried a sample of the most recent Sandalwood - not a huge fan.
Have been wondering about the Fougere offerings, but have not had an opportunity.

I only have Mike's Barbershop. Really like that scent.

Best,
Tom

Not a brush hound. 2 badgers and 2 synthetics.

Razors... I have a handful.
I love my Rex razors and am also a RazoRock fan.
I'm using my RR Super Slant the most these days... likely because it's the newest addition.

How about you, Brian?

I am a stainless steel razor freak - I love them heavy! REX makes fantastic ones - I have their Ambassador and their Konsul. Brushes - I have a few but it’s the razors that I focus on.

I also have the Konsul and Ambassador.
For RR it's the Lupo and Super Slant (multiple plates for both)
I also have a black Rockwell 6S - but don't reach for that much. Shaves fine, just not as attracted to it for whatever reason.
Plus an iKon B1 DLC slant - but that's on loan to a buddy and he may take that off my hands.

You definitely have your whiskers covered with some top notch razors. Ikon is a great razor that doesn’t get a lot of press on the shave sites.

I don't have any of those offerings, I suppose I always have room for growth :ROFLMAO:

True with respect to the iKons. Possibly because they are made overseas.
The Super Slant works better for me than the B1 DLC, so I am happy to lend to friends to see if it would improve their shaves.
 
Welcome Tom! Glad you could join in!

Razorock is a great outfit! Always good offerings and good prices! I love my GC .68 SB on their barber pole handle!

Freak is putting it mildly, I’m not sure there is a stainless razor which he doesn’t own 😆
