    vegan-friendly shaving blades?

    Not one for Mucky Fat sarnies then? I do admire your quest for comparisons though even if I think brushing your teeth with human faeces was going a tad too far.

    What made your day a crap one??

    @MrK1 Nice! If it makes you feel any better mine had come back from the repairers after a shunt 2 weeks before the above accident. The same guy came to pick it up both times...

    Scent of The Day

    Finished the James Bronnley and the next to finish off is Atkinson's Gold Medal. Which is nice enough to wonder why it was sitting at the back of the cupboard and better than the JB.

    Irritation from Mild Razors

    If you are getting irritation with a Tech I'd say you are compensating for perceived mildness with too much pressure. As above the sweet spot for the Tech is quite narrow but the inefficient but forgiving zone is quite large which is why they are considered mild. If you are in the inefficient...

    Shaving with oil only

    I used to use some 'natural' stuff from Amazon no mineral oils at all. It was fine and cheap enough to use plenty each shave. As above though it just clogs the razor and the sink it was much better than the KOS stuff and the Somerset's I've tried and was great for the skin. Just too much of a...

    UK meteorology

    Still gusting pretty strongly at mine, small branches everywhere and the garage 'door' got blown over, Easterlies seem to get funneled down the valley and strengthened in consequence.

    Using a croap

    Use less pressure when loading the brush if you are digging croap out you are pressing too hard. To use a croap I soak the brush as usual in a sink of cold water whilst I shower, I load the brush as I would on a hard soap but with a much lighter touch and fewer swirls, then I face lather.

    Is improving the technique a myth?

    Yay!

    Is improving the technique a myth?

    Angle, pressure, tricks (Gillette slide, J-hooking, polishing etc), lather building...and whatever else; you'll learn or you won't.

    Is improving the technique a myth?

    Technique can include things like finding the right angle for the blade and razor you are using on the part of the face you are shaving and the ability to maintain that angle yet change it as needed without thought.

    What’s your ultimate/favourite shave cream of all time and why?

    I have a garishly pink Rose one in a tub that I love the smell of and a tube of Palmolive in my travel kit as it's so easy to use. BUT My favourite is definitely Ingram's for the quality of shave and the Icy Blast.

    Thoughts on Aggressiveness

    It's because of the razor fairies that live in the cap, on the R41 they all reach out and grab the hairs and PULL!! Whereas on the Tech they just stroke the skin as it slides past. That's according to the psychedelic Soap Monkeys though so it should be taken with a pinch of salt...

    Thoughts on Aggressiveness

    It's a man thing like fast cars and cock waving competitions (and collecting stuff) you don't have to buy into any of it. It's the 21st Century maaan!

    Amazon Fire Tablet = Garbage

    No problems with my youngest's Fire Tablet and she's had it for two years now. It's just in an ordinary case and has survived a quite a bit of abuse. Quality bit of kit for the price and Amazon's service is usually above and beyond. No problems with the set up or extra charges either, £7.99...
