A fat boy to shave a fat boy, interesting,
The 7'oclock shaved well, though I got the feeling that it was past its best,
Just one tiny Nick, that small though I never bothered with it, obviously I have been using harder brushes, as this one seemed soft, it worked up a lather quickly though, a good days shave.

Have a nice day, gentlemen ! ;)

Cracking Shave Gromit!!!
Perfect prop for today's 'Close Shave' :
4th cream of the week and 'Maximum Comfort' is my favourite scent of the ARKO creams.
The recently acquired Radio 1912 gave me the expected great 1912 shave. Plus the handle does look good.

Great shaves everyone!

First go with the Spice Road and the Shark blade. Soap excellent, blade bad.

I never felt it at the time but ended up with what I can only describe as a graze under my chin. How I never felt this and still feel the tiniest of nicks is beyond me. Won't be using the rest.

Anyone wondering on getting the Spice Road then I'd recommend. If you hate aniseed don't bother but otherwise go for it. Lathers brilliant and its so rich and dense.

I'm off to care for my wounds. "Medic!"View attachment 20878

It's a strainge thing this picking up on different scents, many people seem to get aniseed as the main scent but for me it's hidden away in the background and I'm picking up cloves and mixed spice and maybe a touch of cinnamon then right in the back ground I'm picking up aniseed. Which leads me to believe that a lot of people given something to smell will be sensitive to one smell and that smell will overpower the rest where others may not be over sensitive to any particular smell and be able to pick out individual notes of a scent, but you liked it that's the main thing, if you get the chance try the bay rum.....fantastic.

When I opened the Spice Road it was (for me) just aniseed. This tails off when I lather it up to an acceptable level and it still lingers on your skin after the shave, which I like, but you don't smell like a sweet shop. My dog however can't stop sniffing my face!

I've been intrigued with the Bay Rum scent, I've no idea what it's like and it's been one I've wanted to try. But now I've experienced OSP lather then I think this is the manufacturer I'm going to try it with along with the Menthol and Eucalyptus
 
Back in circulation following a short vacation at Her Majesty's Pleasure. No questions please, as the anger management course is still ongoing.

Prep: Fitjar soap
Soap: Wickham 1912 Russian Leather (oh, my giddy aunt!)
Razor: Cobra 2
Blade: Feather Professional
A/S: Speick

Really enjoyed the Wickham soap and, after looking at the Cobra in trepidation for a year or so, finally plucked up the necessary to use it. What a charming shave.
