    DE Safety Razors

    I've been DE shaving for about three years now. I have 5 DE razors. A Merkur 34C is a good razor for starters that can last a lifetime. Astra Superior Platinum are good blades. Taylor of Old Bond Street makes awesome soaps.

    Any .357 Sig Shooters?

    I'm very interested in this round. If the military migrates to 357SIG, we'll see it become very popular on the civilian market too.
