First shave with Darron's Supersmooth soap. Bowl lathered for a change, got 3 passes and touch up from one sliver of the soap. Great stuff, slick and protecting from nicks, not sure of the garden mint scent, but a great soap, thanks for the soap sample Darron, much appreciated, will be ordering when it goes on sale.

A perfect Monday evening shave ...

Following on from the fun I had with my last shave using a Pilot Merkur head clone, tonight, the Muhle head clone and another flawless run with a Treet Platinum.

Yet again, the Wickham Soap Company soap lathered up just beautifully and gave a great shave. Not as moisturising as some, but excellent otherwise.

Blue Stratos. Classic. C&S Citrus Paradisi (sample) made a good topper. Not one I'd buy, but very pleasant nevertheless ...

A wonderful shave and the ninth from these old blades, they are quite the best blades I have used, what a shame there is little if any chance of getting any more.
