No man wants to be seen shaving with a Fusion and Tesco value shaving foam, you're definitely safe....

Now I know why they're so hard to find these days! your dedication to the king of razors is to be commended and yes Permasharps are pretty decent aren't they.

I completely agree with you concerning Aristocrats. I have most of the models, both US and England, and love them all. My favorite is an early 40's model replated in Rhodium---smooth!

Thanks, whilst being tongue in cheek it's pretty close to reality IMHO
I have two exactly the same, I'm tempted to get one re-plated as it's getting a bit worn through use, a testament to it's effectiveness
I really enjoyed your post.
Great list and right on target with your observations. Having been around awhile, I would add a couple things to the list:
Re-plates were considered taboo and a topic for heated debate.
A double edge razor hit mainstream advertising (micro-touch), something never envisioned.
The online vendor market was small to say the least 8 years ago.
Many members have come and gone.

Thanks Matt, I agree with your additions and I'm sure I could think of others given time, so much has moved on in that time, it's quite scary in some respects but mostly positive to be honest.
I have to agree with the majority of your points. I'm still plugging away with my Tabac though.

I remember people going mad for Tabac, I tried it and found it to be very good though the smell always confused me, some days I liked it some days I didn't, go figure....
Everything is still YMMV, and we just finish Tabactober with the greatest soap out there..Tabac.
I've found that the smell of Tabac has grown on me. And the performance is really quite excellent. I would in fact welcome some additions to their line up. Tabac shave oil anyone?
Tabac still gets plenty of love! It's a favorite of mine. Perhaps some of the hype died down.
Great perspective. Thanks for sharing, OP.

I may get myself some more, though I can't agree on it being the greatest, that's obviously MWF and there can be only one

No problem, I may have been a bit off base on the Tabac, it appears it still has it's fans, I can see why, it's a very "slick" soap.

I really need to try MWF, but I have enough software to last me a few years, and I'm trying to be good and use that up first.

I understand, but it's a shaving rite of passage, you know you want to

I put in an order. Rec'd it today. Wife and I both love it. I almost wanted to shave off my beard completely. I still have time to grow it back before it gets really cold, right?
