Cheers Paul.I love the scent from B&M Leviathan, loving your big boar too! P.
Still getting the hang of the Pro 48 - it is a big knot with a very high loft.

Agree, Paul. The Polsilvers work well for me with this razor. I also get great shaves with sharper NOS vintage blades such as Wilkies and Gillette Platinum Plus.I'm still working through them but the KAI was just in front of the Feather, Lodz Polsilver and the Wizamet IS but not that far ahead to justify the cost of Kai blades.
The Lodz Polsilver, Feather and Wizamet IS were all about the same, I can get BBS with any of the blades tested with this razor.
over all a very good mild razor that seems to work well with many blades. P.
I shall have to try some of those blades you sent , fantastic razor, I'm loving it! P.Agree, Paul. The Polsilvers work well for me with this razor. I also get great shaves with sharper NOS vintage blades such as Wilkies and Gillette Platinum Plus.
Just for you mate.Now - I know who that is - cheers - I.
I nearly spat my coffee out when I got to the end of that
Just for you mate.
So not really an OC but a hybrid and a great razor. I have heard discussions on how the Muhle R41 is a great razor but made even more so with the addition of an aftermarket handle etc. Now I love my stock R41 and as I have mentioned before, it was my second ever DE after the EJ DE89lbl which incidentally, I still have and use. I am glad I spent some time getting to know and use it because it really helped my technique. Today I decided to see what the hype was all about and decided to use my newly acquired iKon bulldog handle with it. Well now the hypes is true! The extra weight of the iKon Handle made it an absolute dream.
Soap of the day was Amici by Italian Barber and a great summer citrus scent it is. Lovely soap to say the least. Great performer. Chubby 1 had no issues whipping up a great lather. Proceeded through a wonderful two pass DFS bordering BBS shave! Topped it off with the matching Amici AS splash and English Laundry Tahitian Waters EDP. Take care and happy shaves all!

Ha! That's a great line. He was a remarkably beautiful man in his prime.I'm honoured and touched in equal measure B. - puts me in mind of my favourite Noel Coward quote - when referring to Peter O'Toole as the lead in the David Lean film - 'if he was any more gorgeous - we'd have to call him Florence of Arabia.' - ha ha ha ha - I.
