      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
