SOTD : Saturday 18th June - Friday 24th June. 2022.



Having seen Tobin’s favourite 11 razors on YouTube, I decided to use one of the razor’s I bought from him and which he included in his list, my Gillette Gold Tech from 1955, dated A1.

With a still sharp Shark, on its third use, the Tech provided a great shave. The T&H West Indian Limes Cream was very good and nowhere near as sweet shop scented (think lemon drops) as the cologne which I had tried from the sampler pack. Of my lime balms, I felt that the Castle Forbes matched the cream best of all. So all round, that was a highly enjoyable and comfortable shave!

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves!

A Surprisingly pleasant 3 pass shave with this Nivea cream.
Iv used it once before and it’s pretty decent to be fair.
A supermarket find here in Norway although i have seen someone in here from the uk use it.
A great combo all round.
The Brush for me is up there with my favourites
The Knot is top drawer and worth the $25.

'He's a dick, that's all'

After a full six hours sleep in the past 36, this shave was a most welcome way of feeling 'life can be better'. A ridiculous past day at work. Thank my lucky stars, at least I don't have to put up with that crap for another 2 weeks. Oh roll on full retirement.

Some lovely 'me time' with some well proven bristle shifting friends and this is g-o-o-d. Heaven in something bizarrely named, Enoch.

Hope your week's are going well everyone and mine looks brighter.

Another shave to be finished by those lovely and talented Band Maid girls.
