Mr_Smartepants, I'm in the USA and know that some US vendors will not ship aftershaves or other alcohol based liquids out of the countries. Some postal regulation here that makes it prohibitive.

Personna (red) blade
Mercur 39C
Ogakkaka Bay Rum Lime + Peppercorn

First time with a Personna Blade and with the Slant.
Felt really good few nicks as I was playing with angles but feels really nice. Can see it making light work of heavy stubble for when I get lazy.

Fist try with the Bay Rum smells nice and think its left my face feeling refreshed.

Tried the normal one earlier this morning smells like dead skunk urine in the bottle but after 20 mins on it becomes nice

Had a go of one of Tadpoles fantastic brass handles that got on here last week with a Stahly head. Great shave and the knurling on the handle is so grippy!

Pre Warm wet flannel for a few mins then Proraso Pre/Post

[Tall_Paul]

Pre: Hot rinse and Aleppo soap
Soap: Tabac stick - face lathered
Brush: Semogue 1305
Razor: Schick Grip
Blade: Chick
Post: Witch hazel, IK balm

Much better shave tonight. This razor just needs the tiniest bit of pressure when being used (I believe a Yankee fellow refers to it as 'bearing down').

Well, tonight I bore down and got a cracking shave. Huzzah!

 

[dodgy]

Razor: Schick Grip

That handle design's a good one. Good length, feels comfortable in my hand, and I like that little flare at the end of the 'racquet'. Plus, it shaves well........not unlike the J and L types.

That came out the same time as two other injectors. There's the Grip, the Stick, and the Prick. The third one was a bootleg limited edition and very hard to find.
