    Treated myself to a new straight razor, well, new to me anyway, it's a Taylor's Eye Witness 6/8 made sometime between 1865 and 1925, and proper Sheffield steel, none of this German rubbish 😉
    The 2 shaves so far have been great 🙂

            So, after seeing a post from @Graeme (in the wallets thread) about Baldwin leather, I checked out their site, liked what I saw, and decided to see what they could do for my growing straight razor collection. After several emails and sketches from Jimmy (owner/creator of Baldwin Leather), I went with a 6 slot roll, which arrived this morning. Super pleased with it so thought if share on here 🙂

            Still one slot left though…... 😉

                Here's a bit of a one off, anyone here use mustache and beard wax? Any suggestions? What's available locally is unimpressive and my Van Dyck is getting unruly.

                      Tried the clubman when I had my first handlebar, it's what I can get local. Found it doesn't hold well enough. The beardbrand will get a try for sure though.

                        ^ are u talking about stache wax? If so, ive tried both the beardbrand and the clubman. Clubman being more of a paste and water soluable. Found it held ok, but not real long. As soon as it gets wet it starts to fail. The beardbrand is def a wax and nicer to use but is only a medium hold, which i found didnt hold well but lasted longer. Beardbrand seems to be a great company tho with great customer service. Their oils are great

                            Very nice set you've got there jock! Do you rotate, or just choose randomly? I'm trying to stick to a rotation with my 5, but some days I just want to use a particular one 🙂

                              Thanks pp. That was essentially the problems I had with the clubman. If I sweat at all it was done, and even if not in a couple hours it was useless. I was looking for more of a real wax, so the beardbrand might be a better fit. I can get a solid curl on the stache without, but parts look a bit wild and I want it more structured. Same goes for the beard as it gets longer. White collar job and unkempt facial hair don't mesh well! LOL

                                    Thanks d666, actually growing my hair out too, so the pomade could pull double duty
