As much as we all loved GoldenEye 007 and Slappers Only multiplayer, due to licensing, I highly doubt we will ever see it be remade. gardinerbryant.com/goldeneye-007-the-accidental-m…

Can’t knock 'em. I’m still working off a 100 pack of those and a 100 pack of KAIs. Still got +/- 8 tucks of Derby Premium (black-themed box) that have done well for me. But Feather is my fave.

Oooooh no. No. And no.
That Merkur 34C almost turned me off entirely to DE wetshaving, full stop. It’s just a bad razor (I got it while budgeting tighter than nowadays). I can’t badmouth the Mühle 41. I’m slightly bemused about your feelings on the Merkur 34C… you may compel me to root around in my attic to see if I still have it or PIF’d (Pay It Forward) to someone just getting into wetshaving. With my 20+ years of technique finally finessed, and with an okay shave den by now, I might (if I find the cursed thing) give the Merkur 34C another try.
Were I to start all over again at 18yr old, my pick would’ve been a vintage Gillette Red Flare Tip Super Speed ('55-'60), or a Mühle R41. And don’t get me started on Parker razors, either.
@PorkButtsNTaters666, what blades do you use in your Merkur 34C?
- Comment on Suggest some closed comb DE razors which are mildly aggresive and won't cost much. 1 week ago:
Well, I’ve had only 2 open combs to date, but have had 9 closed combs over the years. Mostly vintage Gillettes.
It’s important that when you’re doing A-B comparisons, that you stick with a blade you’ve had great success with, so you can track how well that razor works for you. When I started my journey, I was all about the Derby blades. Having honed my technique, now I’m a Feather guy. It took 20+ years to find my matches, technique can never be stressed enough.
The best advice I can give: go slow and steady (you want to maintain a 30° blade angle to your skin), be sure to use a good quality shave soap or cream (Proraso and Tabac are great for me), don’t use Barbisol or aerosol cans, and remember to have fun and enjoy the experience! I love my shave routine, it’s Zen for me.
There’s a great site that still holds strong to this day for all things wetshaving: BadgerAndBlade.com

Had a Merkur 34C as my first closed comb DE razor. I hated it. Tried various blades (Persona blue/red, Feather, Shark, generics from the NEX or Navy EXchange store on base, Gillette Silver Blue) and I could never get a BBS from it. I hated that closed comb razor.
Still, after 20+ years in DE wetshaving, I didn’t learn my lesson and decided to shell out +/- €100 for a Pearl Flexi (Indian company) closed comb DE razor. I hate it, too, for the same reasons.
Can you see I’m steering you away from closed combs? There was one exception over my 20+ years: my 1955-1960 Gillette Red Tip Super Speed. I loved it so much, I paid a company (Back Roads Gold in the US) to clean, repair, and replate it. Lost it moving overseas. I loved her so.
- Comment on Safety Razors are amazing 1 week ago:
Welcome to the glorious kingdom of DE wetshaving! I also suffer from eczema, maar I’m really digging Proraso Refreshing/Green (IT) and Tabac Original (DE) shave soaps. Palmolive cream in a pinch (Kruidvat). I’ve tried so many shave soaps over the past 20+ years, but Proraso and Tabac are great for my use case.
Badgerandblade.com is a great resource to delve into, specifically the Kyle’s Prep write-up.

Thank you for taking time to respond! I think Defensive Blue Team as a whole outlook for me. I don’t want to hurt anybody. Ethical side for me.
