Crumbs I’m not sure! I had really good experiences with the Wilkinson Swords so I’d like to try the Brazilian ones now I think…

I’m really feeling the urge for hardware at the moment - blades especially. I started off doing really well trying lots when I first began shaving in April/May but then just got distracted by all the other interesting things knocking about. It can be hard doing and trying all the things you want to!
