Happy to talk through it in PM, Which, to be honest, is probably better than a video. There are a lot of honing videos on YT, and only so much you can learn watching someone else do it.

I'm learning how to hone, it would be helpful if you ever video your process

First honing session of 2026. Took this Tanifuji to a small, buttery vintage coticule. Began with a milky slurry and finished with whisper light strokes on water. HHT off the stone was solid, after stropping on linen, superb!

Here's today's shave

Welcome, croeso, we can talk razors or rugby

DE razor user for over 10 years. Found a Facebook forum recently which has sparked buying a new razor, brushes, soap and balm. Really enjoy the ritual of a DE shave. Thanks for letting me join the forum.

I'd advise you go for quality: you'll either end up spending it anyway, or you'll recoup more of your investment if you are trying to sell better stones. My recommendations would be: Bevel setter: Shapton Glass 2k (I have it and it is...

Forgive

Looking for recommendations on getting a set of stones to start learning the art of honing. Don't want to break the bank

It's been a few weeks since I last broke out this amazing razor, the Brass Guido from Stubble Meets Steel and Alpha Shaving Works

It's all part of the process, I'll post the Pic and an AI version

absolutely.myself as well. :)i also dedicate a small part of the day for the photo to post..it has improved my photo skills a bit..at least the editing process.:cool:

I lasted 2 days.. working on new strait

I want to try not buying anything this year,but it's a tough go ..I really enjoy my shaving stuff.I buy Gillettes if they are in better shape than ones currently owned..I would like One more SV soap though... ;) but i can wait a year..

I want to get back to using some of my straights... I have about 40 I reckon. Some I bought and have not even unpacked :(

Signed up today. Some may know me, I make shaving brushes since 2008.. RV Shaving is my "brand". The picture btw is an older one, but the shop still looks like this, in my tiny basement.

try the kai MG if you want to try another guarded blade. i prefer it to feather since it has more protection

Do we ever have enough lol

This is the year I enjoy what I already have in my Den. THe only big addition will be the purchase of a Carbon Razor. Probably the copper one. I will support Never Alone from TRC and a few new offerings from A&E. Besides those my soap and splash...

I've got 21 razors, DE, Straight, Shavettes.. might add a SE to complete the different styles, of course, its only January 1 this might change by tomorrow lol

My goal is to add no more razors to my collection. Although, I would like to try out a Leaf Twig Razor. I am not buying one. I may trade for one though. I also plan on passing on many of my razors. How remains to be seen.

New year.. new shave goals. The Den is well stocked, a few stragglers on the way. This year will be technique oriented, working on my straight technique, also learning the art of straight maintainence, strop, hone etc. The DE goals to...

The amount of money I have saved...

I'm game , how do we get the link

Some gents like to post their TSD on multiple sites. I think a personal shave diary means its more "findable' later on.

Thanks for this. I've used the professional as well as the proguard, and admittedly like the guarded ones

I don't think this gets talked about enough. Unlike DE blades, which more or less all have same dimensions, SEs come in different lengths and thicknesses which can much more dramatically change the way your razor feels. Here is a comparison of...

I guess the question is, how many people cross post across platforms and does it add to the"community"

It’s my time and my space!!

I love using vintage razors,brushes and old school creams and soaps,I love the process and the results.I dedicate 30 minutes a day and enjoy every second. I get to use a different razor,soap and brush every day..what a privelidge :)

I've got 20 brushes and razors i love the process of picking the hardware and matching the software to the mood.

The experience. No 2 shaves are the same, There's always a chance for some new experience.. new blade, or new type of razor etc Tonight had my first try with a Kamisori style shavette. Pretty dang good I'd say

Hey Everybody, I was on TSD as Ratpoison10. It was such a good forum, and will miss it. But sometimes we just have to make room for the new in order to grow. I have been collecting mainly razors since around 2012. I look forward to furthering my...

Bought one of these as a test for strait shaving, initially the blade choice AC professional. After a couple of shaves, i was doubting my choice. BUT then after some advice, switched to the AC Soft Guard blades and wooooo. What a difference...
