Four Lords A-Leaping – Lord Super Chrome

Lord Super Chrome blades. It's week three with the Lord blades, and this week's entrant is the Lord Super Chrome. It's another coated blade, so I'm expecting good things, but I've been burned by chrome coated blades before (I'm looking at you, Shark Super Chrome, which is also a Lord product)....

Four Lords A-Leaping — Lord Platinum

It's week two of the four weeks of Lord blades, and this week, after a week of an uncoated blade that felt rough, I'm back with the Lord Platinum, a blade that obviously is coated with platinum. Lord Platinum Class blades. As a reminder, I'm pairing the blades with the Rockwell...

Flipping My Bic?

As seems to be a theme with these SOTD posts, let me address how this one got started: plain and simple, I needed a chance to get the Razorock GameChanger .68-P into action. It's been sitting unused since May, and I've only used it in two weeks' shaves, so only in...

The Blades They Rode In On (Part 4)

You may recall that a while back (a whole year, basically--eek!), I had the idea to try out the razors I had with the blades they came with. The point was to see if those blades presented the best shave possible from those razors. And for the most part, they did...

The Feather Experience

Meet the newest razor in the collection (and the last for a while): the Feather AS-D2. The Feather AS-D2 razor. Now, Star Wars references aside (get it? R2-D2?), the Feather AS-D2 is revered as a high-quality, extremely mild razor from Japan. It's made entirely from stainless steel, so it's heavy (90g...

The Fine German Shaves of the Week

It's time to start breaking in the new razors, and I'll be starting with the Mühle R89. The Muhle R89. Fine German engineering. The Mühle R89 is often referred to as a fairly mild razor, good for starters, but is also a solid, well engineered and made razor that serves experienced...

New Arrivals

Okay, have a seat. This may take a while. I was good during all of the Black Friday sales and didn't buy anything, even though there were some great deals to be had. But I had my wishlists out there to my family and hoped I'd get something from them. I...

The Black and Yellow Christmas Week Shaves (with a debut)

It's Christmas week this week, and it's also the third and final week for now with the Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (yellow) blade. It's delivered some great shaves in the Rockwell 6C and last week was almost perfect across the board with the Henson AL13+ mild. So this week, it's...

A Mid-December Mail Call

Recently, in an overall review of all of the lathers I have in the collection (shaving soaps, creams, sticks, tubes, foams, gels, etc.) I ranked Taylor of Old Bond Street Organic Shaving Cream at the #7 position out of 29 lathers. It feels luxurious and rich, and really works well for...
