Boudica came very close to kicking to Romans out of Britain. For Caledonia's experience of the Romans this is an excellent documentary.
@Clint64 do you face or bowl lather with a Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic Badger v2.0 fiber 27/52mm knot
Thanks mate!I noticed your mention of the Romans in Scotland recently - earlier this year I walked along a section of the Antonine wall at dawn, up to Bar Hill fort. It was a beautiful morning but bitterly cold. As you sat at the top taking in the impressive view - you couldn't help but imagine a couple of freezing, pissed off Legionaries doing the night watch. Probably from somewhere much warmer thinking 'where did it all go wrong?' - 'My mum said I'd be in the Praetorian guard if I tried hard.' - then they end up at the edge of nowhere. Happy holiday - cheers - I.
Personally, I don't think they could handle the weather!
Ha ha - yes - I notice that the list of 'what did the Romans ever do for us,' - doesn't include inventing Goretex or Rab down jackets. - yours - I.
It's the .95 Open Comb next, so wish me luck!

I was up early this morning hoping a hot shower would ease my pain in my left shoulder along with some heavy duty pain killers so I thought what the hell I may as well get my shave in now I'm properly hydrated!
Razor....Cobra Classic
Blade....Schick Proline P-20/30
Soap....L' Occitane ~ Cade
Brush....Zennith Boar B-26
Bowl....Little Wren Pottery
Post....BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent....Amber Absoloute Tom Ford copy oil from Mr Perfume.
This is my fourth shave with the Cobra that was kindly loanded to me by @culcreuch and I am still loving every moment of it, today's shave didn't let me down and nor am I getting bored by using the same razor day after day, the only other razor that had that kind of hold over me was the Blackland Sabre so this razor has something special going on!
The L' Occtane Cade Sosp was outstanding in both scent and proformance and has one of the best soap dishes ever!.
Once whipped up to a creamy lather in Little Wren pottery lathering bowl I was ready for another shave from this fab razor and blade combo, it didn't dissapoint at all, yet again I was left BB smooth with little effot and left with not only silky smooth skin but zero irritation .
I applied some BBA PSB not because my skin needed it because of the shave but the cooler weather is almost on top of us and I do like to take care of my skin especaly during the colder months.
I finnished with a light application of the wonderful Amber Absolute perfume oil and I am looking and smelling great!
Wishing you all a fab Friday but let's be carefull out there people whatever you're doing........
