Honestly, I didn’t know exactly what to expect, as the description on the auction site was quite vague. “Nostalgic Gillette” and “Old metal box with razor in it”… That was pretty much all I knew when I made my first bid. But I didn’t [...]]]> http://www.shavingdetective.com/wet-shaving/buying-and-restoring-my-first-vintage-razor-part-1/feed 0 http://www.shavingdetective.com/accessories/bluebeards-revenge http://www.shavingdetective.com/accessories/bluebeards-revenge#comments Fri, 16 Jul 2010 22:49:30 +0000 Shaving Detective http://www.shavingdetective.com/?p=169 Have you ever found yourself thinking “If I could just find a way to stop my beard from growing that fast…”?

But every now and then, a new player hits the market. One of these players is the New Zealand based KiwiShaver, who present a beautiful and stylish razor – in a classic design.

I believe everyone who have used shavers with replaceable cartridges has felt this way.

It's due to be released in the US on June 6, 2010. According to Gillette, the ProGlide should be much more comfortable than any of their previous models! Read on to see how my face is feeling right now! And more importantly; Can my wife really feel the difference on my face between a "classic" Fusion shave and a Fusion ProGlide shave?

The clean shaven face was and is military policy. Even today, US soldiers, although they must do without hot water and baths for months at a time, still try to get in a daily shave. It might seem like a strange policy to civilians, but requiring the men to be well-groomed is believed to be important in preserving the men’s sense of discipline and the esprit de corps.]]> http://www.shavingdetective.com/shaving-techniques/cold-water-shaving/feed 5 http://www.shavingdetective.com/safety-razors/schick-hydro-hits-the-us-market http://www.shavingdetective.com/safety-razors/schick-hydro-hits-the-us-market#comments Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:20:40 +0000 Shaving Detective http://www.shavingdetective.com/?p=60 Schick Hydro, a revolutionary new razor with many first to market technologies, goes on sale today at stores across the US.

The rotary blade technology, used by Philips and some of Remingtons models, and the foil technology used mainly by Braun and Panasonic. Both types do the same job - but in very different ways.

Just like a normal cradle for your Gillette shaver. No fancy colors or sparkling details... Just plain, black plastic. Bot don't let the looks fool you! It does in fact perform magic! I am talking about the RazorPit - a Danish product claiming to prolong the lifetime of your shaving blades by up to 900%. Gillette blades may last for as long as 150 shaves! Could this be true?]]> http://www.shavingdetective.com/accessories/razorpit-the-simple-revolution/feed 6
