I bought it from ebay containing one full puck of Old Spice soap, it's wasn't cheap but worth every penny to me!@Blademonkey where did you buy your Old Spice Shulton soap mug from???

Not too hard to find, I have two with lids, both bought from ebay, just keep looking. I will keep my eyes open for you if you are after one with a lid and will let you know if I find one for sale.No wonder is so hard to find that comes with a red old spice lid
My personal advice is omit the Alum in your shaves for a while...i only use my alum block when i get a nick, as it doesn't agree with me..and i have skin like a rhino!..if you have a body care store in your area, buy some Aloe Vera Gel..it's only a £1, this will work wonders on your post-shave..i can't comment on the feather blades,or a merkur futur, but that's an aggressive duo..i find that aggressive blades work much better in my non-aggressive razors..once you've mastered your technique and gained more shaving confidence "like us all" you'll be able to return to your feather blades.Regards.Last night's shave,
Proraso Pre Shave
Merkur Futur set to 1 / Feather Hi 1

Alum, cold rinse.

I usually shave only every two days as I'm lucky enough to get away with it, but I was in the mood for shaving.
I thought I would try a Feather blade. . . .
Pass one was fine, no problems at all.
Rinsed my face and re leathered, immediately I could feel stinging.
I knew pass one was close, but Christ , this was not pleasurable at all.
I continued with pass two with the stinging, and managed a small nick on my neck.
Alum rub just stung all over my face and neck. I don't think I'll be using Feather blades again!
