Not from State Farm. Sorry to disappoint. I’m just a half-Iranian American exploring the fediverse. I am interested in science, tech, philosophy, animals, comedy, a wide range of music, and even politics. Though the politics in my country are plain depressing atm.

Consumer cooperatives make sense in the context of a utility but not for a retail store.

Why would a coop need a union? Isn’t a coop basically a union fused with a corporation?

I guess it is a US problem only, for all I know it is a result of our mad president’s war against the world.

Tragic. And their brushes were $15-$20 a piece is very reasonable.

Hmm I can’t seem to find any in stock anywhere.

Does Vie-Long not produce horse hair shave brushes anymore? I can’t find a single seller with horse hair brushes in stock anymore and the only Vie-Long branded brushes I have found are either synthetic or badger.

Unfortunately, most websites I have seen don’t bother to specify the specific alloy formulation they use.

It’s gorgeous, out of my price range but gorgeous.

The inclusion of Lead might be an issue.
- Comment on Do you think aluminum bronze would be a good razor material? 1 month ago:
Then why are stainless steel razors often more expensive than brass? Also with its lower melting point means it can be cast and I have heard machining stainless steel is difficult to machine.
- Comment on Do you think aluminum bronze would be a good razor material? 1 month ago:
Personally I like the color of polished bronze and brass. It is like gold plating without having to be paranoid about damaging literal gold.

I am not asking about blades but the razor handle and head.

I have a Merkur Futur clone that I use on the 5 setting. I should probably measure the blade gap.

Yeah I saw this, even in each category there are over 5 different razors.

Does anyone have knowledge of Razorock’s DE line up? As far as I understand it, the heads and handles are interchangeable and other than one being an open comb, I don’t know the meaningful difference between their 10+ heads.

Finally used The old man I found at an antique store after cleaning and applying some linseed oil. Used a Wilkinson Sword with it. Got a few bleeds and razor rash but it was very effective at taking down my beard. I think I’ll save it for longer growth.

It being stamped sheet metal makes perfect sense. The reviews I have seen don’t mention it but they are too busy saying it is “great for the price!”.
