Thanks Pat that is the back of my house , I love watching that tree change with the time of year.Great view, Russ.I can almost smell the fresh air from sunny Glasgow.
Nice to see someone else using the New Forest Brush still. When @Fido started them, it seemed everyone on the forum was using them.New Forest 2001 brush

Blade - Personna Red (3)
I've used over 10 Personna Reds but I've never really been able to get a great shave out of them, they are fine for the 2nd/3rd passes but never quite convince for the first, it seems to always lack smoothness and didn't feel great again today.
Anyway chaps, have a good day.
Where did you get your Reds? They seem to have changed the packaging, also the quality from the red packaged blades. I used to use them all the time with no issues until a few years back when the packaging changed.
Glad you like the Razor Chris , my experience of it is the same it is efficient but smooth , I personally think ATT Razors are underated by many as the build quality is excellent and compares favourably to all the high end Razors.14/04/20

Today's shave is dedicated to the awesome guy that is Russ @RussellR5555 as he has kindly loaned me the ATT H1. I also bought this brush from him in support of Taz and the NdE soap came up in conversation with him on a recent thread.
First thing I noticed is the quality of the H1. This is an excellently machined razor - a completely different league to the Chinese razors I've used in the last few weeks. The pins on the head hold the thin part of the blade slot which is testament to the tolerances of this razor.
The NdE is a lovely smelling soap and the XXX is a fantastic smelling ASL. This shave has been an evening shave so I'm going to bed smelling goooood. I can only assume I'll continue to smell fantastic in my dreams. XXX dreams maybe?
First impressions of the ATT H1 - I like this razor. I left it 36 hours since my last shave and, had this been a morning shave, I could have gone to work looking presentable after a single pass. This is a very efficient razor but so smooth. Had I been buying my own ATT razor, I'd probably have shied away from the H plate before trying it. Not now!
I'm going to test it with 48 hours growth next (i.e. a normal man's 24 hour growth).
Thanks Russ!
