Bit of an early morning shave for me today,
, Believe me fellas, you really don’t want this cough. I can understand why young babies, poor mites, can and do die. There has been an upsurge in UK this year apparently. However a week of antibiotics usually kills it off..
I use Wickham Christmas Spruce all year round Chris, after all, isn’t it more about what’s in the pot than what’s on the pot? To be fair though an interesting and attractive label will usually entice me to buy a soap, as my ever growing collection will bear witness

Always enjoyed the tatara offerings al. Shame about the overhang of the blade tabs. Always felt that if it was covered it would be one of the best razors out thereThursday 16 May
My posts haven’t been as regular as I might have liked recently but I have been laid low with Whooping cough the last three weeks and am now only just coming out of it. Caught it off the Mrs
Anyway enough of my ramblings, I used the Tatara yesterday and today, coupled with a Brazilian Wilki courtesy of @Mike Smart
The brush is an old ToBS of mine from years back which I re knotted with a synthetic after wearing out the badger. Only fair to use ToBS shave cream I decided. Yesterday with sb Nodachi head and today with the Masamune oc head. To me both are relatively mild although the oc seemed slightly milder which is odd for an oc maybe. Both gave a bbs finish with ease and with no issues.
Have a great day fellas!

Apologies, I blame the antibiotics they put my brain (wot brain?) in a fog!
Yes agree J, I’ve always wondered why blade end overhang occurs in some razors and not others. Maybe to have the head plates at a minimum width? Reduces weight? Maybe it’s in order to be a bit easier/safer to remove the blade from the pins. Maybe all the above!
Considering tatara are top notch in their line of work with tolerance and quality of steel used. It can’t be out of an engineering direction …. So my train of thought would be how modern the razors look…. But still trying to keep a heritage with the exposed blade tabs like the old Gillette maybe.
