This has turned into a 'Shaving Stick' week, and today it was Valobra. The brush was a little disappointing as it was one of the original Yaqi brushes with the large glue bump issue.......a prime candidate for a re-knot I think.

I got this Ambassador off the ‘bay a year or so ago. Erroneously described as a Fatboy, it cost about £10 (one end cap missing). I have to say, it really is an efficient little razor; more so than similar Gillettes of that era, or just after - the Red Tip, for instance.

An excellent day to go for the Proraso trio. My face is beautifully smooth and cool.
 

Thanks for the reply; I am tempted to save up for a Karve, it looks exceptional. I love the Hone 15 and another brass razor would be good to have.

That said the Blackland Dart looks good also

All the best, C
