Perpetual Gillette TTO Super Speed, Straight Razor, & traveling shave den

[PaulM]

Could I get in line here? I would love to try these things and will gladly pass them along to the next guy or gal. My contact info sent by PM.

Many thanks if it comes to me!

I tried the den this morning..... started with the shark blade..... ouch I know why they call it a shark.   Very painful, lots of razor burn 2 nicks.... not good with this razor.  then onto the sandlewood I like the smell of it. 

Boy does that shark need to see a dentist.

I have the shave den now, thank you very much Kahvemicro for sending it along! There is a lot of stuff in there. It will take me a few weeks to get through it all, but then it will be ready for the next in line.

Hey Paul.

Let us know the stuff you really like, and, the stuff you really don't.

 

[PaulM]

Thank you MP. Who provided the shave brush? I used it with Py's Clubmen cream tonight and the TTO Gilette  and really liked it, though I don't think the TTO was as good as the Edwin Jagger.

What animal are those bristles from? I don't really care about what animal it is, I'd just like to find something similar for myself, and then pass this one along for others to try.

Thank you,
-Paul

Paul ... glad to hear the Jagger stacked up well against the Gillette TTO.

Could that brush be a Badger? I have one of those and it provides the best lather.

I don't know how to figure that out. It might be.

The only things I know about badgers are that they are considered very aggressive and fearless (you've seen the honey-badger video on YouTube?), and that I'd like to buy one for my ex-wife.  "Hi Honey, here's your Badger!" I'll bring the cage next week!!

I don't know how to identify their fur.

I hope this will explain the different types of badger brushes available and what they look like.

I think this is the badger youtube vidso you are referring to.

The brush looks like the "Best" in your line-up. I'm surprised, not because you nailed it, but because that is a nice item to add to the "den." Very nice.

Yes, that is the video, but it originally came with some campy and NSFW commentary:

Again NSFW!

When you said that it you really liked the brush I assumed that it was a badger. I got mine off of eBay for around $15 shipped from China and worth every cent. I never did try a boar but I have a couple of horse hair brushes and they do the job.

I liked your version of the video as it was more complete. Those badgers sure like their snakes.

There is a lot of nice stuff in this kit. I was too scared to try the straights (and frankly I have no interest in taking the time to learn how to use them, as we have better options than 19th century technology now - no offense PY!), but have learned a lot about what I like. Much better having a package like this than relying on Amazon reviews.

So who is next? PM me and the Yakster to let me know where I should send it! I've added some Astra Platinum and Gilette Personna blades for anyone interested.

P.S. John's (joke on his part) "Shark" blades are still there, for anyone brave enough to try them! From what I've read, it is as if you caught a shark, and then tried to shave with his jaws. I was too pansy to try those blades, but maybe someone else will?!? If Quint were still around I'd guess he would have tried them, and would probably have gotten a clean shave.

That's the thing with shaving ... some blades may work for someone, but others not so much.

So who wants the next shipment of the traveling den here? There is a lot of good stuff in there. It is currently sitting in the vanity in my bathroom.  PM me and leave a note here, and I will have it out in the mail pronto!
