All good stuff and especially a Gairdener whittled handled brush well loaded with some Cool Godrej cream. I looked like Santa - sans red jacket - before every pass! Lather and lather and then some!

The handle was a gift some time ago and I stioll love it - probebly more every time I use it. Thanks Graeme.

Come to think of it, the Simpson's AS balm was a gift also, came with my TSN P8. Lovely stuff. Thanks Mark.

excellent. first run out with the 2013 r41 and i like it a lot, ive got the 2011 version and i find the latest one quite a bit easier to use. ive got an irritation and blood free shave, i think this is going to get a lot of use.

Blow me down! That is one aggressive little f*cker!!!

I've shaved with the 1912s before and the Micromatics after ... the 1924 is one aggressive razor. Huge blade reveal and the comb, much like the 1912, becomes an open comb in use. Whereas you're lulled into a light sense of mildness with the 1912s, you're fast awakened as to the potential of this razor!

Light touches!

Do that and you're rewarded. After a medium pressure scrape down each cheek, I lightened up a lot and got my feather light touch all sorted for the second pass against the grain. All done, very smooth and a seriously rewarding shave. You have to work with the razor, though - this is one where you are NOT in charge.

The Alt Innsbruck Pre/Post Shave is a fun balm. As a pre-shave, I'm not sure it added a lot but as an aftershave balm, just lovely. Less fierce than the liquid, very slick, very smooth, just gorgeous as an aftershave balm. Lovely scent, too, and the first one which I noticed our little mog giving me a serious nose over ...

...sneaky splash of Trumper's Eucris later, eh?
