Just remember to have NHS 24 on standby if you decide to try the Rockwell blades

I've used almost a 100 different blades, and the Rockwell blades are in the top 5 stinkers.

Truly horrible blades!

These arrived in the post on Friday (by miracle, I hasten to add)



The Feather SR was a BST purchase from Alan, @ekeko
He very kindly added the folding AC shavette as a bonus.
Alan is a true gentleman, and aside from Royal Fail playing some very odd tricks, the entire transaction was a pleasure.

Thank you again Alan

I’m really pleased that you can now enjoy these razors Paul. RM led us a bit of a dance but thankfully it was the posties at the coal face who delivered and so made up for the shortcomings of their back room office folk. Phew! All power to the posties!

Get well soon! Plenty of turmeric and chillies ... and keep sniffing that Tabac.

Good catch!

Latest acquisition from France is a GIBBS No 16 Mince. It’s in excellent condition with case and 5 unopened blades in an original blade holder. However I’ve modded a Personna silver platinum to fit and will give it a whirl tomorrow.
The seller included a few French Gillette blades and some Lucky Blades which look used and with packaging very reminiscent of Lucky Strike cigarettes
The moniker “Mince” is probably best not translated into English, I’m guessing in French it refers to the — and + aspect of the head. I’ve read mixed reviews on this razor and will see how it performs tomorrow for a SOTD posting.
