Lime jelly, don’t see it much these days. Quince jelly, now that’s a treat. You’ve got taste buds moving!And for this evening and this evening only, the theme for this shave was 'Portuguese man o' war and other shaving jellyfish'

Portuguese man o' war - Tatara Nodachi
Bloodybelly comb jellyfish - Feather
Narcomedusae jellyfish - Yaqi Dandelion
Hartley's Lime Jelly - Signature Soaps Londinium (non fish associated)
After some gentle enabling, a loan, more enabling with a PM of special offers from Tatara, parting with some cash, nearly divorcing my wife due more shaving crap, probably some more enabling and some time later a Nodachi arrives on the doorstep.
I was going to go with the Masamune handle, but decided on the longer offering. Other than that I wanted to put some distance between me and Mr Enabler, owner of some bloody Emporium or other down Plymouth way.
And mine is better
Couldn't get the cork insert out of the sleeve so I had to sacrifice the outer packaging to my disappointment. Must be a Portuguese sense of humour which just went over my head. Fortunately the contents weren't disappointing and I have to say these Tatara razors are nicely manufactured. More than can be said for the shit outer sleeve.
Some free(?) Feather blades so why not? Why not? I can think of one good reason why not the next time. Feather blades are great, but in the right (and usually mild) razor. They do wonders in say an 89 but in something with a more aggressive stance such as the Nodachi they just raise the ante too much. Yes, this was one good shave, close and fine, but a few too many stealth weepers. On the matter of jellyfish I did come out looking as if I'd just gone head to head with one.
Still you have to live and learn with these things.
A quick word for the Signature and Yaqi. Just the usual expectations and a wonderful pairing.
A splash of witch Hazel and colegen moisturiser to calm things down a bit and bring some happiness.

And I was just saying 'Albert you're a real twat'
From jellyfish to Puffer fish to Puffyshoes. Enjoy
