So i want to moer you and hug you at the same time.

Im conflicted

Can I choose, I opt for the latter option please

Glad the enjoying this journey too my brother.

The longer handle will also add some nice weight to the razor and should make gliding the razor across the beard easier.

Let us know if you find any noticeable difference in the shave you get with the longer handle please.

HOPEFULLY my last order in a while. Body and hair soap, the beautiful new rockwell handle, stand, feather blades and extra D1 head to put on the old handle

And of course a complimentary free tester and a personal note as always

You forgot to order a Safety Razor sheath @SmokeyJoe
Always good to have those especially if you keep the blade in the razor.

I'm pulling your leg ... but always good to have a sheath, you can add it to your cart for next weeks order

Nice lot you got there by the way @SmokeyJoe

Can you take some pics of the DE1 and DE2 head side by side would like to see how they vary .

Here you go. D1 on left. Huge difference. Morso the weight. But its not the D2 original handle. Its the Rockwell i received today

Close-ups of the heads. DE2 on left




What i really like about the D2 are the 3 knobs on the head which keeps the blade inline

Substantial difference even on the thickness of the guard plate and top plate.
That new handle looks great on the DE2 just by pics you can see the difference in the quality of the finishing.

But for R100 who can complain the DE1 is a fantastic razor.

Ok, now how can I ever say thank you enough to @Clouds4Days , before my let’s do the shaving thing fund even got of the ground properly I walked in to a little care package this afternoon.

All of a sudden I cannot wait for the basin and a shave tomorrow morning!, and I’ve been sporting a shortish beard on and off for the last 15+ years. Thank you so much again.
Will report back after my first experience.

Cheers.
Many happy shaves brother and welcome to the shave club.

I’ve been following this thread for a while and I finally got down to posting a pic or two of my set ups. Been on this train for about three years now and I find it to be an immensely gratifying experience. I haven’t ventured much into many products... the first one felt all too natural in hand to bother with a second. However, being a frequent traveller I needed one for the grab and go bag.

Nice bit of kit you have there @Amir , love using my shavette/single edge razor .
You right using it is very gratifying.
Still remember my first shave with a shavette I thought to myself "this is going to end in a bloody mess" and I was shaking real bad but once i got that first shave out the way man there was no turning back to cartridges.

I been using more double edged safety razors the last month and half but my shavette/single edge is still my favourite way to shave.

I think because it gives me a nostalgic experience of when I used to go to the barber for a haircut and shave, this last year it's only been for a haircut, all the shaving gets done at home.

Thanks for sharing with us @Amir , also please share some of your favorite soaps and aftershaves with us.

That's a awesome nifty little guy. Where you get that from brother?
Is it easy to work with?

I have been looking at maybe getting a kamisori style shavette razor, they look really nice to work with.

I must admit since @Clouds4Days got us on this old fashioned way of shaving I shave way more often because it's fun! I used to only shave when I looked like a wild man from Borneo... Now I shave every third day... and the shave I get from my gold razor is just perfect. Will try a different blade on my next shave!

That's only happened once in the last 40+ years...

Yesterday morning I did shave number 4 with a new Supermax Blue Diamond blade. Absolutely fantastic.
So much sharper which made the glide great and the shave the smoothest so far. I am very happy.
Might still try the Feather blade but not sure I even want to try the others.

I've been using the Lion brand safety razor for quite some time, but after looking at all the stuff at Bundu Beard, I also thought I might spoil myself for a change. Not too much

Nice brother, that's a nice step up from the Lion. Many happy shaves brother.

Is that Safety Razor a 3 piece? The handle looks like its gonna be very comfortable to hold.

I also like the sharper blades @SAVaper , I still need to try out those SuperMax Blue Diamonds.

Actually I got a lot of blades I still need to try but waiting on the current 4 blades (Wilkinson Sword, Astra, Feather and Dorco) to go blunt first else soon I'm gonna have no place to put my rotation blades.
