    So I've got a tin of How To Grow a Moustache Lime Synergy shave soap that I don't think I will use again. I think I only used it 5 or so times so as I'm not a fan of the scent but I've had no issues with the performance of the soap.

    Anyone interested in a trade? I'm specifically looking for an unscented soft shaving soap (a hard soap may work but for now I want a soft soap). I want to try something out with the unscented soap so it has to be a good performing unscented soap.

    I just saw this now, as I don't check out this forum as much as I should. The closest I'd have would be Monsavon, about 3/4 full. I don't know if it classes as unscented though. Any interest?

    Thanks for the offer, but I ended up buying a scentless soap. I should have edited my post to say that really.

    There doesn't seem to be whole lot of activity on this thread, but I have a few items I have tried to trade on Badger & Blade, only to find that most people there seem to be US based and reluctant to commit to an overseas trade. so want to try here before going to Ebay or somewhere else.

    First up I have a new Muhle R106 razor (same as R41 with different handle). I recently purchased this with high expectations and have only used it a handful of times, as whilst it gives a close shave, I do not find it comfortable or enjoyable.

    I also have a New Forest badger brush (silvertip I'm pretty sure but can verify) which I have realised I don't use any more.

    I am interested in any decent DE razor, old Gillettes in particular, or good stiff boar brushes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 559 ✭✭✭Buddy97mm


    I have hardly had any interest on this, but just to clarify the razor involved is a Muhle R101 not 106.

    Buddy97mm - I have a few old Gillettes gathering dust in a drawer. Let me dig them out and I will post details. Purchased during my initial DE obsession days a couple of years back but literally never used. Would be a straight cash deal if you (or any other lads on here) are interested. I have enough DE stuff to last about 10 years.

    Muhle R101 gone, traded for a Gillette Red Tip which I now eagerly await.

    GD, I may be interested in other Gillettes if I can rationalise spending more money on razors!

    Anyone interested in trading for some soaps,

    I've got, Tabac, Speick and Valobra Fougere.

    All great shaving soaps. Tabac is one of my favorite but my wife hates the smell so it has to go.

    Be interested in seeing what you have to trade.


  • Registered Users Posts: 559 ✭✭✭Buddy97mm


    Some fine soaps Uncle_sam_ie - is it only other soaps you are interested in trading for?

    Yeah, but I'll take a look at what you got. I might trade for something else shave related.


  • Registered Users Posts: 559 ✭✭✭Buddy97mm


    I haven't got very much in way of soaps, although I do have a wooden bowl of Floris Elite, that I haven't used and not sure whether I will.

    I do have a few creams - Proraso green (unused), Kaloderma (unused) a Canadian cream, Coates Rose shaving cream (used 2-3 times), Biotique palmyra (used maybe 5 times, excellent but not mad about smell), a few Arko and Palmolive sticks. I also have a Biotique Wild Grass After Shave Gel.

    I also have a pretty decent New Forest Silvertip brush, which I have been thinking of trading.

    I'm not really interested in the bowl or creams but, post a photo of the brush.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭hitemfrank


    I've got a hardly used HTGAM Synergy Lime shave soap I probably won't be using any time soon, if it's of interest?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,191 ✭✭✭uncle_sam_ie


    Thanks hitemfrank, I'm not really a fan of lime and I'm a bit leery of HTGM (now Phoenix Artisan Accouterments) after all that's unfolded about Douglas Smythe from across the pond.

    No worries. I had not heard about what happened with HTGAM so looked it up. The guy seems like an ass.

    Yeah, great products but what a total douche.

    @Buddy97mm
    Am a complete noob, just starting out...so very little experience but eager to learn.
    Would be interested in your Floris Elite.
    Not sure if you'd be interested, but I have a new proraso (green) tub and a natural hand made essential oils soap puck. Good lather, but doesn't suit my skin.
    (I'm in North Kildare)

    Thanks for offer Italia, but not interested - have a lot of proraso tubs already.

    @uncle_sam_ie
    At weekend, a friend brought me back a load of soaps (Arko, Tabac, Speick, MWF) from a trip he was on, so no longer interested in trade, apologies!

    Guys, I've two Merkur razors that have only been used a couple of times and are as new. One is an adjustable long handle & the other is an open comb. I'm thinking of selling them, would there be any interest in them here?

    Just to say thanks to OU812 for the 2 razors I just bought from him,
    They arrived today and they are in as near new condition as they could be with no sighs of use at all.
    Can't wait to try them out.
    Thanks again,

    I have a full, unused bottle of Proraso aftershave, which I don't really see myself using. Anyone interested in a trade? Would be interested in any other aftershaves or creams/soaps.

    I have a used once tub of Proraso Sandlewood - got it this xmas & tried it once with brush, but prefer the menthol one.

    Fancy a swap ?

    Never tried the red soap. Would prefer any aftershave to trade but if you have nothing else will consider.
