A Big thank you to JohnnyO for letting me have a 1950's Hoffritz Travel Razor (for those that didn't know like me, these were made by Merkur for the Hoffritz Cutlery Co in NY) Very very pleased with this, will make a lovely Razor to take away with me

100 Gillette Bleue Extra arrived in the post yesterday.

These blades were one of the first lot I tried when I switched to DE shaving last year. I had been trying to find them again, but had no success, until I read through the DE blade review section on here and found a link for a seller on the bay!

Well over the last few months, I have been not feeding my RAD for mens products so today I set out to ease myself back in gently. I came home with.

A bar of Writes Coal Tar Soap
Talow based Erasmic shaving stick.. I know of a large supply of these for 75p each
A Styptic Pencil
and some Old Spice Deodorant.

I know this is not luxurious but its a gentle process of breaking myself in, I did also go to TK Maxx hoping to find some gear but they had nothing at all for wetshavers.

Have promised myself a trip to Chichester next week to try some boots and crabtre stuff.

I went to my TK Maxx on Monday hoping to find some gear after reading about people finding stuff there and I could not find anything either

There was lots of gift sets etc there but and some stuff suitable for wetshaving with but nothing that was exceptional value or that i had not tried. I really wanted a bowl soap mainly for the bowl as refills are a lot cheaper.

If you guys ever see the St James Shave Cream (Cedarwood and Clarysage) in there, get some it's lovely stuff, smells great

Indeed it's now "Wrights Traditional Soap (with Coal Tar Aroma)"

Its a shame that it no longer has the good stuff in it, thanks EU. but it does smell lovely, doesnt linger after the shower and i seem to get far more clean than i ever do with shower gel.

Funnily enough, I bought a couple of bars of this today, along with some witch hazel... The missus hates the way flecks of the soap stick to the tiles in the shower, but I love the stuff – it reminds me of my childhood in the north.
