Oh fine ta, went and had a child, grew a beard, neither of which make for a particularly active shaving forum member. Shaved my beard off a while back, found myself having a very quiet afternoon at work today and POP! I somehow ended up here.

I'm not sure things have ever really changed... the safety bar was (and is) mainly there to stop flesh (including fingers as well as faces) coming into very direct contact with an entire exposed blade edge by accident, particularly at steep angles. Even with a safety bar you can shave at...

Agreed! Although just to prove there are exceptions, a few blades can be just as bad in any razor, and conversely a couple of blades can be really great for you no matter what the hardware. I've liked 7 o'clock yellow in everything. But yeah as a general rule you should go back and try again...

I think most of the fuss around the R41 is directed at the earlier 2011 model which is a nutcase of a razor. The 2013 was a much tamer and more useable version, though still a little bit spicy. Enjoy the pass around, very nice of you!

Can't do a picture but I've had a little TOBS travel brush for about 3 years now, bought in the reduced / sale section of the shop for about a tenner and it has its own ventilated tube. It's been everywhere. I can't Willy wave as it's nothing special but then I don't think you need "special"...

Haha! Mudder Focker! What an amusing name. I think it sounds a little bit like "Mother Fucker", I bet they haven't noticed that. And if they have, then they're cheeky scamps!

The 34 was my first razor, it's no terror but I did get sore spots on the jaw line too. I then got a slightly milder razor (Jagger 87) and I still managed some raw shaves. The answer is learning the technique rather than buying another razor. A sore jaw line just means too much weight or...

I'll back Griffo up, I like this stuff. It's a very good cream, for performance only I'd rate it as highly as the other Creighton products including the stuff they make for the high end brands. It might not smell of much but it shaves well, it lathers really well, it protects and it doesn't...

I'd take part but I only have one child. Do you have any spares I can borrow? Having two full time would kill me. Not sure about this torso nudie thing either. You made all those chubby birds look quite presentable a few years back but no amount of airbrush and white panties are making my...

2 brushes, 2 creams and maybe 4 aftershaves, that's all the room I get, on top of the bathroom cabinet. The rest is upstairs somewhere. There are 3 DE razors in the cabinet, 1 pack of blades, and a pack of sensor disposable on the windowsill. Not a great deal but it's a compromise with family...

I'm in. Throw in a method shaving lesson and a special cloth and I'd pay double.

Some still have them, DR Harris and Ogalalla off the top of my head. I agree it's a pain when it's "free pour".

I've always found Sienna to be quite woody overall but with a bit of spice and citrus as well.

Have you tried the original in the red tube? That's bloody lovely and I've not had a tube in over a year since I moved away from west London. All the markets in Southall used to have it.

At 60 notes that Thater is outrageous value, I paid nigh on a hundred for virtually the same one, hard brushes to come by too. If I didn't already have a black and an ivory 4125 I'd bite your hand off.

Most unusual soap I've owned is probably I Coloniali. Strange smell, mixture of vetiver and fruit. Strange consistency, not quite a hard soap, maybe semi firm? Strange feeling too, it has a menthol cooling effect even though there's no scent of menthol. Oh and a strange design, less of a...

Dennis Leary once pointed out one of the pitfalls of getting tattoos done. After describing the thought process from the point of view of the target, (bad designs, permanence etc) he said "AND, I'm going to get a fat hairy smelly stupid guy to do it too". That about sums it up I think.

I do have a travel brush but it was in a sale otherwise I may not have bothered, they're quite handy but not a must have. Recently I travelled for a week with a full size Thater 4125, it sat quite happily in a cardboard tube from a toilet roll. Ventilation and protection all in one classy...

Try the Mediterraneo summer collection, smells like the Capri coast. You're welcome. :-)

RE: WTT: Pinaud clubman (new and sealed) My apologies, had to go away for a couple of days. That sounds like a fair swap, I'll pm details. Thank you.
