Or, as I now do because I am truly inept is take the picture from slightly further away, then crop it down slightly and pow! It now fits.

A good idea I had no clue about, I'm more inept than you. That you can be sure of

An easy fix for that is to email the pic to yourself which will re size for you.

Thank you very much sir I will try that now

Hi, thinking of buying A feather razor. Do you recommend it? Does it give a comfortable shave?

Hi Roy,
I've had my feather about 4 months now and would recommend it...personally I love it, I have acne and I break out quite bad sometimes, it is a mild razor but used with a sharper blade it is very efficient, today I used a Gillette 7 o clock yellow and on the first shave I can get BBS no problems and zero irritation 2nd shave is still a very good shave but not quite as close but with a sharper blade I can get first and second shave BBS zero irritation but like I say I have acne so my skin can be very sensitive so you may get more out of a blade than I do. In my experience I find the sharper the blades are better with this razor but it certainly does make a very comfortable everyday driver. I hope that helps you a bit with your decision

Razor: Blackbird/Delta Razor Works/Blue
Blade: Personna Super (6 )
Brush: Oscar 11, w/Omega 10049 Boar
Soap: Oleo Montrose Beach

Sticking with the blue theme. another excellent shave even though the blade was on it's last legs. Some leaves are starting to change.

Cheers buddy I tried to upload a pic but told the file size was too large...will look into that for my next post

I use a photo editor to resize a photo to give a width of about 750 pixels, upload to Imgur and use link to post.

Parker 98R
Rockwell blade
Omega pure boar bristle 10077 – 10777
99p bowl from Sainsbury's
Bodyshop Macca Root shaving cream

The 98R was my first razor and I just love it.
Think I prefer boar to badger but my experience is limited to just one brush of each.
Everyone should have this shaving cream in there den.

Any good? I saw loads of this stuff in varying incarnations whilst on holiday earlier.

Yes just like the creams/soaps. Only you need more foam than cream/soap. But a canister is cheap. Smells like cacao...yum
