Hi Dale ..... your photos and descriptions mirror the comments I made a month or so ago when we were talking about using magnification to inspect an edge. I...
I thought too of the gunsmith's shop in Colonial Williamsburg, VA. It is open on a rotating basis out-of-season and every day during the summer. The gunsmith...
I'm partial to blondes, brunettes and redheads, myself, but I, too, have passed on T-I's solely because of where they're made. Don't get me wrong. As Edmund...
Every wedge I've had I've sworn to be my last ..... then it finally decides to turn keen and I forget my oaths. They take a very long time to get keen from...
America's hobby: playing "Trash the Frogs". I'm good at it myself. Yes, I bought a TI - made in France - and I'm sure to go to hell for it too. I say to...
Hey guys, Some ebayer just told me it would cost $25 to ship a mug to Germany from the states. Now, I'm sorry, but that is just robbery. Can someone tell me...
Lance, Global priority is $5 for a package under 1lb. I refuse to believe it is more that $7-8 to ship it to Germany. I'll be at the post office in the next...
Hi Josh Cain, Sixshooters advice is great. My advice, though different, may also be great for you. I recommend using a Shavette, which is a straight razor...
Dear Dennis, EL, Ajit and Lee, Many thanks for your information. I really appreciate you taking the time to share with me. I have several cakes of shaving...
C'mon Uthe, don't be ridiculous! Lederhosen are for maintaining a keen edge, not for getting out nicks. (All newbies, that was only a joke. Please do not...
... You know it doesn't work that way. My opinion isn't worth as much as a more experienced member simply because they have probably learnt more than me....
Joel, You are absolutely right; Global Priority Mail is the way to go for any international shipping. Envelopes can be $4 or $9 for small or large. Packages...
Hi Josh, I'm a relative newcommer to straight razor shaving. I started with a shavette and that piece of advice was good; I made a very moderate investment,...
I used plain old air mail to Deutschland because it was cheaper than Global Priority by a couple of dollars at least. Either way, they advertise 4-7 days to...
Howdy all! More finished handles have been uploaded. I finished an Amboyna Burl handle last night and put a near mint Pearl King blade in it. The blade has...
Whats sad is T-I is a great shaver, despite their obvious lack of quality control. I've have 4 T-I's and every one of them was misaligned in the handle. 3...
A Google and yahoo search provided no direct hits for Chronik razors, but I did find something a bit intersting: http://www.dovo.com/e/seiten/chronik.html Also...
Laz, Interesting info. I noticed there are only pictures of one side of the Chronik - the side with the crown and hearts logo. Can we get pictures of the other...
I whould have to say it did a great job. Very smooth, non- irritating, and "safe feeling". Didn't do anything to it, didn't even strop. By "safe feeling" I...
Actually, way off topic here, but the whole trash the French thing bugs the holy living hell out of me. It is so simplistic and small minded to respond to the...
