I like the "Mr. Taylor's" variant from TOBS. It has a nice but understated scent (nothing floral or obtrusive) and gives a great thick lather.
That's the very scent I bought, and I love it. It smells totally classy and masculine, and it's VERY easy to build a great lather with it.
Why does it matter that the blades aren't made in the US? Is it a quality issue or is it to protest the company shipping jobs elsewhere? Just wondering....
I looked into this - for the most part, safety razor blades are made overseas simply because the American buying market tends to want cartridge razors or disposables - the Fusions, the Mach 3's, Atras, etc. Double-edge shaving is more of an "old world" thing.
Great thread! I've been toying with the idea of switching to a safety razor for a few years now. I think this thread might have talked me into it.
Currently I shave five days a week before work in the shower under running water with a Fusion....but i think that might be changing soon.
Dude, I just made the switch last week - you will NOT regret it!
