That Cool Razor Stand





"In your video shave gear I noticed that on the sink you have a razor holder for 4 razors. Could you please tell me where I could purchase one? I have 3 maybe 4 DE,s and no where to store them."

Its a toothbrush holder from Walmart!

Just found a
"Wilkinson Sword Classic DE Razor" + 5 blades wilkinson in a old traditional store :D

Nice work..
Thank you for the tutorials, in particular the lather ones!
My skin is very thin, and it becames hard to shave properly without the perfect lather.

Hi, I know, it's offtopic, but in Germany you can find only the Wilkinson Sword Classic in most stores, like supermarkets. A saleswoman told me, that DE razors are no longer produced (haha)...

Here are several Merkur razors listed. It's interesting, that there's no "HeavyDuty"-Model. They all have numbers...

Hello! Do you keep the blade in the Safty Razor between shaves?

mantic59 said...

Anon- Yes, I will keep a blade in the razor if I know I will be using it the next day. If I'm taking the razor out of my rotation for some reason then I will remove the blade.

Anonymous said...

Interesting, but if you do not open the safety razor and clean it and the blade wouldn't it get rusted in time because the water will not properly evaporate in time??

mantic59 said...

Anon- I have never had a problem with rust on a blade storing the razor for short periods of time.

I am not refering to the blade, I am talking about the razor. Your grandchildren might not be ablle to enjoy it.

Anon- Oh! OK, I just wipe off the razor with a towel after shaving. Every six months or so I will run it through an electronic jewelry cleaner (or soak it in a diluted white vinegar solution) to keep it clean and shiny.

Hey Mantic -
So, I'm, ready to dive into this DE Shaving thing...and I just ordered a Merkur Futur, after watching several of your videos and deciding this might be a good choice. Then I saw a link here on your blog to an article about hte aggressiveness of a whole host of DE razors. The Merkur was at the bottom of the list. I'm not sure if that means is the most or least agressive. Did I make a good choice?

Russel, you made a good choice.
