Told you so
I wonder how John0612 is getting on with your Black Beauty.
 

Aye, you certainly did and you was spot on. Hopefully John will post when he tries the Black Beauty out. So glad I got the slant though. I may still get an R41 one day just to try one out. Will probably put my 34G HD up for trade/sale soon as I can't see it getting much use now.

Kiss My Face Shave Cool Mint
Semogue 1305
Gillette Slim
Rapira blade
John Allan's Cool Face Balm
L O 'Occitan EDT

I decided to give the Kiss My Face Shave a go, I purchased it a while ago in error instead of the balm they do. It's a loose cream in a pump dispenser. I pumped a couple of squirts in the Woodhead Bowl and it lathered up very well, surprisingly well. Great minty shave, so having used mint to shave I finished with the John Allan Mint balm.
