I wore this through HS and early adult hood. Is there a legitimate version being made today? Is the Amazon offerings good? It wouild be so cool to wear again.

What are some names to look for when searching for single edge razors that have a wedge that’s needs to be hones?

Thanks guys!

This last week I shaved quite a bit with the Type J (new to me) and alternated with a Hydro-magic (released per Dummies Guide in the same time frame). The Hydro-magic is a magic razor for me 

What I found is that I prefer other injectors to the J. For whatever reason, this razor seems more aggressive to me. At least, my face feels irritated after I use it. I think I will PIF this razor to a good home. I tried selling it most of last Fall, since I thought I didn't need a razor that may duplicate my Type I but not have the lever. Therefore, if you are reading this and would like a Type J, PM me and it's yours! I'll even load a fresh blade and give it a Barbicide dip!

In any event, a cold-water splash and Thayer's witch hazel made everything right!

Hello everyone! My name is Ken. I live in Southern Maryland. I used to post on TOST2 and then life got in the way.

I got into wet shaving about 8 years ago after it got to expensive to buy cartridges. I started with single edge blades that had edges on both sides. From there I picked up a Schick Type G at a second hand shop. I have been shaving with single edge ever since.

Wet shaving is about the shave. That includes the soap and brush. Shaving cream out of the can is heresy, but you do you.

My go to razor is a GEM with a Pal Super blade. Though I do have a couple of Superior Razor that I really enjoy. Arko is the bomb.

I have enough soap, aftershave and blades that I don't have to buy anymore in my life time. Avon aftershave for the most part does not go bad and can be found at second hand shops like Goodwill.

I have been known to try my hand at making shaving brushes.

Oh my is this brush ever breaking in ever so nicely! This is my first natural hair brush and I have enjoyed seeing the changes in the shape of the knot and the tips of the hairs. I have had it eat soap on me once which was a pretty impressive trick (gasp...where did the soap go??) but otherwise, it is an absolute joy to use. I couldn't be happier with my adoptee Jayaruh!

   

   

   

   

Great to be here

Does it count as a haul if I made it for myself.

I was very surprised last week to get this copper beauty in from Fluffy. I am going to start a new thread here as the adventure to get a knot in it starts. This handle feels great in my hand and has a magnetic base. I have not measured the openikng to see what size knot is needed.

What is everyone going to put in theirs???
