I have never used...

[Pat Puma]

I saw in the double edge razor sub-forum that a member who has been on here since 2016 had never had a Merkur before so he bought a 34, and it got me thinking about common shaving products that I have never used. I'm sure that there are more than a few, but the one that came to mind was TOBS, an old standard in wet-shaving that I'm sure most have at least tried once. Feel free to tell me about TOBS, but also share the common software and hardware that you haven't used before.

 

[Pat Puma]

Like I said, probably more than a few: Tabac, Pinaud Clubman, anything from Edwin Jagger.

 

[BobbyB]

For me:

Soaps: Arko, TABAC, Taylor of Bond Street, and others
Razor: Merkur, Feather, any Adjustable.

 

[Ravenonrock]

Never used alum or styptic. Never used a pre shave whatever whatever. Never used an injector razor, or vintage SE razor. Probably more DE blades I haven’t tried than have tried. Plenty of discovery ahead!

 

[Frito Ray]

An SE razor…not high on my list, still exploring DE’s

A DE razor over $40…not ready to make a choice yet, will probably just buy heads

A pre war DE…getting the itch

Alum…no real intrest

Kai blades…on my list for next order.

A scuttle…no real intrest

Hot sauce as an aftershave

 

[TheBurgh]

Believe it or not...

Splaying any of my brushes (after initial trials).

 

[AimlessWanderer]

I've never used Arko or Tabac or Cella or Prorasso.

Or a styptic pencil.

Or a Clubman aftershave.

No Zenith, Yaqi, Vie-Long, or Semogue brushes.

No horse hair.

No slant razors or adjustable double edged razors.

No Schick injectors, Gem razors, or Artist Club razors.

 

[TinkersDam]

I don't recall ever using a cartridge razor (but I have used many disposables).

 

[Rudy Vey]

Lilac Vegetal.....I smelled it once many years ago at one of our meetups, and it was horrible.

 

[Eric_75]

Never used alum or styptic.

Same here.

 

[Uncle Brian]

Never used any kind of aftershave. I don't like the smell following me around all day and for that matter i don't like soaps that leave a lingering scent but i have tried them

 

[Gaspare]

Arko is numero uno on the list.

 

[Goofy_Bee]

Never used a DE, SE or GEM for face shaving.

Also I've never used Tabak or Arko. Tabak will be, maybe.

JNats, Horse hair, pre shave, brushless cream....

 

[Manye]

ARKO!

 

[BigJ]

Horsehair brushes, just never got to them.

 

[Tathlum]

Never used a Blackland, Wolfman, or Fatip razors.
