What Did We Learn From Our Shave Today Gents?

[nick_s]

That even with a heavier handle, whilst it gives a lovely smooth shave, the Gillette Tech is too mild to be my personal every day razor. I can see it being very handy for days after a less than stellar shave, as it is so gentle.

That a straight razor shave of two passes still takes me twenty minutes if I am to avoid any facial damage, the shaves have got better and my razors I have made sharper and smoother but my speed still remains at a snails pace......lack of practice no doubt; there are so many nice razors to use!

Regards
Dick.

That Soap of The Gods (Van Yulay) makes amazing shave soaps and that Wilkinson Sword blades don't work for me.

That Wilkinson Sword cartridges are up there with the best, if not the best.

I've not shaved in days! I feel like a hobo, too much uni work to drive through. Maybe I'll wash later and come up with a conclusion

That the aforementioned statement is pretty well true

That juggling a heavily soap laden silvertip badger brush from hand to hand is a skill not to be repeated. Also that after revisiting Body Shop's Maca root shave cream( out of necessity rather than choice), that it ain't three bad. Dead easy to lather and good results.

I just wish they'd make it with a smell I can stomach. I'd probably have spent a hell of lot less on soap if they did!

Hi Dan! Yeah the smell of the stuff certainly isn't great. Definitely a good product though.

That 11 days in, an Astra SP blade still cuts like a hot knife through butter, with the aid of Citra Royale. Impressive.

That Stirling Glacial MITA is even better than the regular one and is hypothermic freezingly cold, love it!!! Also that a VDH brush can be softened up nicely if lathered up the night before and left to sit overnight.

I must dig out my Parker (apparently the same as a Braveheart) head and give it a whirl...

That this bad lad can cut through a week of growth, with ease and leave it baby butt smooth, even with a Gem blade with a hanful of uses already.

That I really don't like post-shave products that leave my skin feeling tacky

That my two recently acquired SV post-shave products leave my skin feeling tacky

That I should be slower on the 'trigger finger'

That said SV products will soon be on B/S/T!

Shipping to the UK is $22.50
I love MITA it is the BEST soap I've used. But I can't pay that much for shipping. I'm hoping the my recent P&B soap blows it away so I don't need to concern myself anymore!

SO MUCH more so
I am now done buying fancy arse soaps. None are as good as they get made out to be, and of all that I have tried only Stirling and NSS are as good as I'd hoped.
I'll maybe try the odd sample etc....
