'Time to get off this SOTD before it's too late'

A few old friends and a couple of new chaps worthy of a friendship.

I do admit to being a bit of a 'stuck in the shaving soap' bloke when it comes to the world of razor blades, but sooner or later my shaving world will become a lost Lodz and so looking at alternatives. Enter the Super Max. Kindly sent to me by @Digimonkey and informed 'you will like these'. Well I am blown away. What a wonderfully smooth slither of stainless steel it turned out to be and a lovely match made by the sink with the R89. The R89 because my skin felt slightly lively in this colder weather. As it was though a most bodacious of three pass shaves. A big thumbs up to Mr Max and his brilliant blades.

The brush being another 'welcome to my fold' item and bought from the Emporium. I have no idea what it is called (Brian?) or what the knot is (Mr Knot?), but I will say what a damn fine brush it is. Spot on for face lathering and it certainly likes to be given a damn good mashing. I still don't understand brushes fully, but whatever it is I don't understand this brush ticks all those boxes where I do understand.

Bang it all together using the 'tried, tested and trusted' Londinium. Throw some steel around and voila, one fucking excellent shave.

From Super Max to Super Girl. Time to leave you with the usual and on this occasion some Shonen Knife with.......
