Gillette (the all things Shaving Thread)

[BroSlinger]

Nice!

I just tried surfing the new maggard site again , and I hate it.

I need the option to search the brand list. It’s how I shop.

[ajaxlepinski]

You can search by brand but, you first must click on one of the "departments" in the header; Safety Razors / Straight Razors / Blades / Soaps & Creams / Pre/Post Shave... etc.
Click on one of these departments and the brand and filter choices appear on the left.
You can't see ALL the Abbate Y La Mantia products on one page - only, for example; all their aftershaves.

Really digging the Phoenix razor...
10/10

I've been using my SV Tundra Artica for 5 days straight. It rules. It's definitely an ADP Oud clone. I love it. I want to use it until there is a divot in the middle.

Blade was dead at 5.

9/10

[ajaxlepinski]

Been a while since I used the Rex Adjustable... it's pretty heavy!
Krokos ROCKS!!!
Shibusa smells like Creme Soda... very sweet vanilla with just a hint of tobacco. Not bad... I'll use it once in a while.
9.5/10

[BroSlinger]

Decent enough shave. The extro aftershave burned the fuck out of me. Sucks.

Razor was nice.

9/10

[ajaxlepinski]

Still have to try the feather handle with a Sputnik or Astra... so far, the Feather Yellow blade is too mild on 1 and too aggro on 2. Wish the handle has a 1.5 setting.
The GD Extero is decent and the Myrsol Formula K has a fun peppermint scent that fades quickly.
The Steinmeister extra dense brush ROCKS!!!
9/10

[BroSlinger]

Formula K is awesome. Classic. I love it. I want to use some now.

Today:


Man, I have this fuckin zit. It sucks. I think I hate my Tradere too. I need to sell it.

Modder Focker is awesome though. I think my wife likes it.

Crummy shave today with this razor and zit.

[ajaxlepinski]

Man, zits suck!!! I feel for you bro!

The Matteo soap is amazing! It has a nice spice scent, not really incense as you would expect from Frankincense and Myrrh and the lather is just as good as Krokus. LOVE IT!!!!
The Laureato AS is a keeper... can't say as much for the Monet AS. The Monet AS smells way too feminine.
Gem is always a winner.
10/10

I put a new blade in the Gem and man, it was fucked!!!
Chucked it out and put another in and it way better... too late, the damage was done!
Booster Aquarius sucks... smells like baby oil
The only thing good was the 70th Anniversary but, it wasn't good enough to save this from a 4/10

[ajaxlepinski]

Making sure the Gem is working with the new pack of 100 blades.... yes, it is!
10/10
It looks like Siliski Soaps is no longer making shave soap... just bath soap... too bad because, the are pretty decent.

[BroSlinger]

Good shave. Really liking the lupo 95. Dropped it into the shower. Just scuffed the cap a bit. Nothing is bent. I think I was lucky to have this light titanium handle on there.

The new fine base is ultra soft. Made in Italy. Feels like tfs.

Smells like aqua Velva. Awesome.

9/10 I guess. Lather died in my brush.

[BroSlinger]

Got my custom TiBam titanium baby radiator handle. SO AWESOME> OMG.


Custom one on the left. Adorable little badass handle.



Good shave. RR Jaws was badass with a Blue Platinum. SW makes such good soap.

SW alcohol free toner aftershave SUCKS for my face. I swear, I get a negative skin reaction with EVERY non-alcohol aftershave. sucks.

Grave Fruit EDT ROCKS! Gorgeous scent.

9/10 because of the itchy bumps I've had to rinse throughout the day because of this damned ASS toner.

[BroSlinger]

This setup fucks.


Baby Alaska handle fucking rules.
Marmara 13 rules
Zaharof rose rules
Lupo 95 rules
Pdp soap rules.

Perfection.

[ajaxlepinski]

Congrats on the ELEVEN!!!!!!!!! WOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I just ordered a tube of PdP Bergamot & Thyme AS balm and a tube of No. 63 balm!!! I always liked their balms.

[ajaxlepinski]

The Phoenix Shave Assension razor is becoming one of my favorites...
At first, I hated Phoenix Vetiver Planet AS... it's become a fav as well.
10/10

[BroSlinger]

I can't stop. Zaharoff Rose' is like kryptonite. This is my new signature scent. My wife seems to like it.

This cheapo Marmara Turkish Proraso knock off aftershave rocks. Nice and simple. None of that moisturizing skin vomit shit. Just straight up alcohol and fragrance.

Extro Chamomile = awesome. Extro just rocks.

Blade was sort of dead dead at 4? shaves. Razor is good, but left some stubble. I'm blaming the blade. Still an awesome shave. Zaharoff is THE SHIZNIT!

10/10

[BroSlinger]

Travel shave at a sink. Worked great. Charcoal goods level two on tibam baby radiator.

Love this ach brito colonia. Zaharoff rose is the best fragrance ever.

10/10 even though I had to shave at the sink. This black frog mug rocks.

[ajaxlepinski]

Krokos is the best ever soap!!!
My g/f said the Pinnaud Tiquila reminds her of Hawaii!?!?!
9/10

[ajaxlepinski]

Love Bay Rum!!!!
Haven't used the Charcoalgoods Everyday in a while.
9/10


The Feather Razor is a meh.
Trumper's Eucris Skin Food is pretty good for slime!
A&E Pear smell like pear!!! Imagine that!!!

I just ordered a Henson AL13, and I’m strongly considering a longer boar bristle brush.

[ajaxlepinski]

That Henson AL13 has an interesting profile. Seriously considering...

[andvari7]

I wanted the titanium, but it was out of stock.

[Steinmetzify]

Road shave.

Badass. 70th rules, TDR was awesome, Sabre always great. Aventus day just because.

[BroSlinger]

Speed shave. Sabre. Tibam handle.

Great shave.

Zaharoff brass and soul rocks. Wife likes it.

10/10

Purple Henson AL13 INCOMING!!!!
