    Gillette Rubie / Rubie Plus

    Hi, I had 100 Gillette Rubie Plus that lasted me ages, a lovely blade. I bought some replacements from razorbladeclub.com but these ones don't have 'Plus' written on the box. Anyone know if these are a different standard or worse still, fake. They don't look fake to me but I've not tried one...

    Favorite American Soaps?

    I bought a bunch of US soaps when I was out there a year or so ago. B&M Seville was easily my favourite (once you realise you have to add much more water than most soaps to get a great lather with B&M), followed by Reef Point - Dragon's Blood. Personally, I was underwhelmed by Sterling and Soap...

    So good you bought it twice?

    Speick Aftershave. Nothing beats it for post shave feel. Smells great, too. Probably on my 4th bottle now.

    Above The Tie Slant or something else?

    Rob, I have the ATT R1 and like you I love it. I liked it so much I picked up the Slant combo pack (S1 & S2) on a trip to the US earlier this year and have been using them both for a few months. For me they are both a notch less aggressive than the R1 so I can use either one daily without a...

    Disaster struck

    I have the S1 and have found Voskhods to be the best blade match for it. I also don't get on with the Gillette Green or Yellows blades, however Sputniks also work very well for me with the S1. Good luck.

    Have you finished the first shaving soap you ever bought

    Nope. Started in May 2013 with Body Shop Macca Root cream and there's still loads left.

    Face vs bowl, that old chestnut!

    I never really got on with face lathering until I was forced into it recently on a work trip when I was without bowl for 2 weeks. The lather wasn't as plentiful or impressive looking but I did get much better smoother shaves. Must be the extra softening and conditioning your stubble gets whilst...

    Slant

    Slants are terrific in my view. I have an ATT S2, a merkur 37c and a Fasan slant. They are all great, but in all honesty the 37c is still my go-to razor when you want a super smooth, efficient and irritation free shave, especially when you bung in a Sputnik blade.
