Box 1 is on its way to Michael, should be with him either today or tomw. Cheers, Brendan.

Hi Mbarn, Apologies for my slow reply, I've had one or two health issues just recently and haven't been as attentive to these forums as perhaps I should have been. I've now been in touch with Michael and once I have his address I'll send box 1 onto him. Cheers, Brendan.

Hi Guys, I could do with an address to send the box onto. I've used some of the soaps and tried some blades too and now is a good time to send it on so someone else can try it.

Evening Gents, I received the box this evening when I returned from work so a big thanks to Weean. I was surprised at how large and heavy the box was and how stuffed full of goodies it was. I shall spend some time trying out some of the soaps and blades. Can you let me know who is next in line...

Yes would love to try a vintage Gillette but in time, soaps next for me I reckon. Just using Palmolive & Arko sticks, Arko has been excellent once you get past the rather odd odour!

Welcome to the forum, can't help you with the more exotic soaps I'm afraid as I'm new to DE myself and using Arko and Palmolive sticks at present till I nail my technique.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Hi Mike and welcome.

Has anybody got experience or knowledge of; https://www.vintagerazors.co.uk/our-story It says in the sales blurb that their Fredricssons razors “are made for me by the same people who make the Merkur & Edwin Jagger razors”. Now I thought that Merkur razors were made in their own factory in...

Excuse my ignorance but what's BBA post shave?

Hello and welcome.

Follow the link https://groceries.asda.com/product/mens-facial-moisturiser/nivea-sensitive-post-shave-balm-0-alcohol/21617667 Also Palmolive stick soap is very popular as a cheap but effective soap, 19p I believe from Superdrug but 50p from Tesco/Asda and so on. Hope this helps. Bren.

Am new to this myself Dan so won't offer advice on your purchases, will leave that to more experienced guys, regarding the post shave balm though Nivea do a sensitive shave balm available at Asda for £2.00 a bottle. Great price, great product.

Thanks Wayne for your offer and the rest of you Chaps for all your replies.

Some excellent and much welcome advice there guys and I'm taking it all in. I chose the Merkur 34c as it seemed to be a very popular choice across all forums and I'm glad I chose it. My second choice would have been the Edwin Jagger DE89 and I'm wondering is there any major difference between...
