Enter Mr Kent. A soap stolen from its Northern roots and repackaged as a Southern offering. I'll probably find Kent soap is from Lancashire, but then it would only serve me to start the War of the roses II over a shaving soap so I will leave it at that.
So the fat is the impossible soap to lather to many? Never had a problem. Straight out the pot on to my face, work away, add water or soap where needed and voila. A face full of top class medium to shave in to. In this case the invitee being the dark nodachi. A darkened razor which appeals to my depraved side of life (so most of it then) and which just happens to be a bugger to photograph. But it just does happen to be a superbly confident and effective bit of razormanship. A Wiz of a blade and a whiz of a shave. Just what the doctor ordered. Or at least as far as I can remember the prescription stating. 'Shave once a day after digesting food'. No idea where that bit fits in but I'll have some of it.
A wonderful face feeler (sounds nice and perverse) and the fantastic Pure moisturiser adding to the end result. Further face feeling although I had no idea I must have buried my head in my underwear.
Have a great one your superb shavateers and Mr Stig I'm Not, you are included here.
Japanese girlies? Of course, and thanks for reminding me...
Why it's those Otoboke girls giving a live performance from what appears to be someone's living room. No wonder it was sold out. Five people looks about the max it could take.
Happy anniversary!SOTD

Stailess blade....Got a few new Chinese blades through the post so decided to try one.
First the Doalco which looks suspiciously like a Dorco, and even has the ST300 designation.
Interestingly the wrapper says "made under licence from" and then doesn't mention anything else.
I found this blade to be rough and not very sharp. I did one full pass and then binned it.
Onto another Chinese blade, but don't know what to call it. It has absolutely no text on it at all - neither wrapper nor blade nor outer box. The online description, from memory, was along the lines of bikini blade.
I wasn't wearing a mankini, and have no intentions of ever inflicting that upon anyone, so settled for face shaving instead.
An acceptable result but nothing more. Less scrapey and slightly sharper but there are better blades out there.
Rating: 3.5 / 5
Razor: Gillette Fat Tech gold (1953)
