The Pecksniff's stuff, as discussed before, doesn't know if it's a soap or a cream. All I know is; it work

...mmm

the same stuff you get at TKMax?

i'm sure Tony said this was horse-plop so i steered clear, smelt nice though
 
The Pecksniff that I had trouble with (leather, 200g) called itself a cream but was harder than any soap I have ever owned. Loved the scent, just couldn't get a squeek of useable lather out of the thing.

Gillette Fatboy
Gillette 7 o'clocks
Monsavon soap
Vulfix 404 Pure
Alum
TOBS Shaving Shop a\s


5th shave on this blade, might push for a 6th
Fatboy on 6 WTG, 4 XTG
this soap was a real find and it's easily on a par with Palmolive for value\performance
TOBS a\s works ok but not keen on the scent

Boreal 976
Proraso green shave soap
Gem micromatic
Gem Ted Pella D2 - Thanks Special K
Thayers Original
Aqua Velva mixed with 444 ASB

My second shave with a single edge. Three passes WTG, ATG & XTG a really comfortable close shave. I am still using my HD for the under the bugle part :mrgreen:
 
Friday

MerkurHD
Fresh Gillette Swede
Honeybees Spa Yazo and TOBS sensitive cream superlather
EJ Best Badger
One Planet ASB

After spending the whole week with a straight and getting fantastic shaves, I switched back to the HD today and got a superb shave. WTG, XTG, ATG for a wonderfully smooth face! The Honeybee/TOBS superlather is just amazing! I may not use anything else for a long time.
 
Friday

Merkur 38C
Derby Extra
Traditional Shave Co Cream and balm.
Simpsons Duke 3

Derby suits me. After my Kai bloodbath yeaterday (It turned out not to be a Feather) I went back to Derby which gives me a smooth nick free shave even on its first day out.
I also applied my lesson from Robert on lathering. I had been leaving too much water on the brush. Produced a nice thick cream from what I think is one of the best supermarket products (£2.50 each for the cream and Balm from Tesco's)

I'm learning.
 
I dunno Fido, probably they're just not a happy match for your razor (Merkur, right?). I had the same experience as you when I used a Feather in an AJ, but they're enjoyable in a Tech or dialed down Fatboy.

Kent/MWF
EJ Best
'71 Superspeed
7 o'clock sharp edge
Harvard A/S

Don't know what went wrong today, used this combo quite a few times with great results but today didn't get a very close shave and lots of burn. Maybe I'm being punished for yesterdays indiscretion with the injector :D
