You've forgot the "cold Tar soap Wash"...nice shaving set up,..i haven't tried Aqua Velva Ice Blue Splash..is it worth a purchase?.. i've just got some Voskhod blades, will be giving them a try out in the next few days.

Aqua Velva is pretty cheap and really good...seems to be shipped in 'shatter proof (i.e plastic) bottles or glass, depending on where you buy it...I think it's the equivalent of Brut or Denim...both classics, cheap and bloody marvellous if you ask me...definitely worth buying!

Voskhod are great in my opinion...I find them on a par at least with Personna Platinums - very forgiving and give a great shave in 2-3 passes. They seem to get generally positive reviews from others too....don't just take my word for it!

Voskhod blades, cheap as chips as smooth as a dolphins bum!
I believe that's the phrase!

Very nice, very nice indeed.

Very nice, very nice indeed.

Thank you. It's a very smooth shaver and goes well with the feathers. I've had James razors for over a year now and really enjoy using them.
