what a fantastic shave.. The Drunken Goat stepped upto the mark, and delivered a wonderful lather... ok, the lather is an odd brown colour, and the scent is unusual to say the least, but looking at the ingredients, it's no surprise.. but paired with ‘The Rock' / 7 O'Clock Super Platinum combo, delivered a Baby Dolphin Smooth shave... lol.

Perhaps it was the fresh blade, or the single injector shim, or the magic oil in lieu of soap and brush, or maybe the Patent Pending (1919) "1924" is just a great razor ... Killer shave, close without excessive buffing on the crown like I usually only get with the Hawk/General. Actually superior to Damaskeene and 1914 shaves this week.

Harrods (by Floris) shaving soap (tallow)

Another excellent Floris shave. I really like this razor handle; it's light and very comfortable in my hand, and the machining is beautiful.

May I ask why you always have a pair of dice on your fabulous images. Is it art or do they have some kind of significance.

im guessing that they are set at the number of shaves that the blade has done

Yes, that's correct. It's an easy way to keep track, and I just like the old ivory dice.

Pre: Bloom water
Razor: ATT R1 with Kronos handle
Razor blade: Gillette Nacet (3)
Brush: Simpsons Captain 2 Manchurian

First time using a Czech and Speake soap. The scent wasn't much to write home about but the performance made up for it.
Cheers

SOTD: L'Occitane Rich Cade, Kent BK4, Joseph Rogers & Sons 5/8", L'Occitane Cade AS Balm.
Beautiful shave, best I've had in a long time. My first play with the new SR (Joseph Rodgers & Sons No1 Star and cross 5/8"), got it back today from our own @Fergiebilly who did a stunning hone job. Also my first go with the L'Occitane products, 10/10 from me... I am an avid MWF fanboi but I must admit it cant hold a candle to the quality of Cade (for me anyway) apples and oranges maybe but I know what I'll be using from now on!
