A luxury shave this morning. The super luxurious Simpson and the St. James of London shaving cream produced a wonderful lather and then the Rockwell razor effortlessly wiped it all away. Smooth and comfortable shaving in two passes.

This shave took the theme 'Take 2'

IMG_20201022_193704.jpg

This shave is not to be mistaken with 'Taken 2', a film starring Liam Neeson which did not include daily shaving activities.

A second take - Occams Commander
Blade 2 - Feather Super Professional
Two brush or not two brush - Yaqi Dandelion
A soapy pair - C&S Oxford and Cambridge
That is Oxford on the right

A second outing for the big Commander with the big head and even bigger expectations. The first time out this big boy left a nice impression of its capabilites and an impressive shave at the same time. When I first met my wife I must have given the same good impression but now she just thinks I'm a twat. Is the Commander going to leave the same feeling?

The last time I mentioned accuracy and nothing has changed there. The problem here is the head is just so damn wider than the blade and it is difficult to judge exactly where the blade is. There is a good chance sideboards may well end up looking more like wardrobes and several feet wide. Someone once described AC blades as large as windscreen wiper blades. In this case this is definitely in to Volvo truck territory.

Under the nose I appear to have nailed and the rest of the routine likewise. I still love the fact this is one very secure and safe piece of kit which delivers an astoundingly close finish with exceptional comfort. A step up to three three dot plate is next as I feel 'even closer' is still there for the taking(2).

It remains a wonderful razor in the context of the quality of delivery, but I still can't help think it could have been physically smaller. But hey, what the fuck do I know about razor design? Or anything else for that matter.

Well done the lather team by the way. And girlies in the bath, see you soon...
Oxford? Cambridge? Come back, please

Come back you Japanese ladies......and they did



The return of that overenthusiastic drummer Junna

Have a great weekend all you people of the forum and stay well and healthy in every way. Did I ever say it? but I love you all
