Just found this nice ceramic rest on kickstarter for a DE razor https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/217930559/sha... plus he has a range of other shaving items you can back. Nice to see something a bit different so I've got for a black stand to contrast my silver handle.
Looks nice, especially when Connaught can't seem to provide a stand that fits the razor OR brush that they sold me. Davie_GLA said:
My trusty DE89 is dead.
I dropped it a while ago and must have cracked the plating. Over time it has blistered and this morning a wee bit flaked off, thought i'd cut myself.
Anyway, what heads will go on the DE89 handle? Or am i as well going all out with a new one?

It's a little more aggressive but the better for it.

Except I just paid £18 for a whole new DE89 with free delivery...
After reading Lord Grover's post about the R41 I went and ordered one. I'm very impressed so far. I get a more aggressive shave than with my R89 but the end result is far smoother.
I've gone and ordered a load of different shaving creams (mostly from Taylor of Old Bond Street). I'm using Mr Taylor's shaving cream at the moment and I find it does a great job. I think the next one I will try is Truefitt and Hill's 1805.

Hi guys,
What do you find the best way to "thin out/trim sideburns? Only the past 6 weeks or so have I decided to grow sideburns, but now I just need to thin them out, so to speak.... But obviously using a razor would get rid of them!
Cheers
I bought one of these a couple of years ago - cheap as chips and do the job superbly.What do you find the best way to "thin out/trim sideburns?

Managed to get a nice deep cut on my finger when I was trying to put my blade in. It bled for ages!
If you've ever used a Merkur Futur, then you'll only slip your finger when adjusting the head once. That bled for what felt like hours! Now I'll use a towel before I grip the razor to adjust it.

I dropped mine, then caught it awkwardly, when putting it away in a sponge bag once. OMG. It was like the Shining.Now I'll use a towel before I grip the razor to adjust it.

I've gone back to the R89 for the daily shave. The R41 is a great razor, but after a couple of weeks I decided it is too aggressive for every day. I use it for 'special occasions' when I need a particularly close shave or if I've not shaved for a few days. NDA said:

Perfect, just ordered one! http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000W3I8UO?psc=...
One of my cats jumped up on to the counter, knocking my hand across my futur, which was vertical in a mug next to the sink.
This effortlessly and painlessly took a lovely circle of skin about 8mm in diameter off a knuckle.
The bleeding stopped the same evening, which was nice, and the cleanup only took a couple of hours.
