Funny, I just got an email response this morning from Your Shaving (not payment related). I was asking them about a product question. I'm supposed to buy something today. I'll post later if the payment goes through. That's if I convince myself to make the purchase, Lol!!

Boo hiss, Jim... I wonder what's going on... We've both placed orders with them before without a hitch.... odd.

Thank you. I hope it is straightened out very soon.
I just tried again. No joy. I've done every trick imaginable (by me).
Indeed. I've purchased from them several times. Zero problems.
Happy shaves,
Jim
That Zenith Malachite is really nice! I have that same Jade Omega on the way, I'll be interested to hear what you think of it in comparison to those other fine boars you have.
Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies and then rebooting your device?

That didn't work either, David.
I switched to a different browser which did finally work after a few hiccups.
Apparently, as far as I can tell, the problem was this: On the final, different browser (I tried three) a box showed up which required me to check it saying I agreed to the site's privacy terms or something like that. If the box wasn't checked a pop up would remind me to do so. On the first browser neither the box to check nor the popup appeared.
I've used the original browser to order plenty of times from Your Shaving so it's a strange glitch.
The good news is I've ordered three more unnecessary boar brushes for December.
Happy shaves,
Jim
Good news indeed! On the same note, I have been having lots of browser problems lately. Seriously thinking of trying Mint...

I have a similar thing happen on Pasteur's website all the time. When I use Chrome it won't let me pay with Paypal. When I check off the user agreement and click "pay", it scrolls back up to the top of the screen and just stays there without accepting the payment.
If I use Microsoft Edge, it always works perfectly.
It's a plot. I used Firefox to clear up my problems. I still have an old Mozilla 1.44 disk laying around somewhere.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Chromium or Firefox have worked without issue for me.
microsoft now uses the open source Chromium browser as the base for Edge.
Yep!
But it's weird because Chromium (and Edge) uses the same engine as Chrome. And the problems I've had are with Chrome but haven't had the issues with Edge. Since Chromium is open source, MS must have coded something that
makes Edge more stable on some websites.

I had another great shave with the X1. Well, it ended up brilliant. I had a blade in there and hadn't really kept track of its usage. I was having trouble getting my chin smooth... changed out the blade and everything ended fine.. smooth as silk.
Canada Shaving soap, SV 2.0 brush, the usual pre and post shave products, Kai Titan MG guarded blade, and the wonderful ATT X1 AC Slant... what a marvelous combo...
I'll get my little razor collection depicted tomorrow. I'll have to add the Athena if and when it shows up. I'm hoping for a "when". <eg>

Wow, Kim..."brilliant!"
Not an overstatement I'd suppose. It's a very fine razor perhaps the best razor I've used.

I have some interest in this badger/horse brush in an exclusive turquoise color.
If I've heard of or seen a badger/horse mixture I don't remember it.
Here's the link to the vendor.
While there I found this brush. Apparently these are its two sides. Yes, this is one brush from two angles. It is Manchurian and Silvertip or so they say.
Weird stuff one can run across. I'm tempted.
Happy shaves,

Correct. Chromium is the base engine. Both Edge and Chrome (plus Brave, Opera and a few others) build their browsers from there.

The browser I couldn't order with was Brave. I succeeded with Chrome.
Weird.

Depends on how the browser treats ads, pop-ups, cookies, etc.
Brave is a safer browser than Edge or Chrome. The more "open for business" your browser, the more sites work.
Not always a good thing.
I've had good luck with Epic - much like Brave.

Indeed.
(My guess is I could have figured out how to order with Brave, but I'd already
