A very nice scent from this soap. It's was easy to lather with creamy and slick qualities too...
Tried using this Professional blade with the razor so can compare the difference between the ProGuard. Hmmm...not as efficient...but then this was an old 10x used blade....3+1passes for a CCS & 1 red spot result. The matching splash was very nice

This is a lovely scent. A hit with my daughters as well.

I'm trying some blades in the 37C that I'm nonplussed with before I discard/PIF them. Perhaps it's the blades but I don't remember the 37C being this mild.
Cheers Chris. Glad the girls like it too.
Regards Brian
 
Tonight's delights by the side of a sink arrives on your screens (although I can write letters and include a photo if so wished) with a theme 'There really will be no beaver'

Beaver free razor - Rocnel Elite
Beaver trimmer - Polsilver Lodz
Beaverless brush - Yaqi Dandelion
Beaver batter - Captain Fawcett's
Remove that Beaver! - Goutal Eau De Monsieur


For some odd reason I find this Rocnel takes twice as much work as any other razor, but the results are rather sublime to say the least. Half the issue seems to be the feedback which just keeps saying 'Found some more over here' and makes one go over the same area once again. Mmmmmph.

And sublime it was and sufficient for big grin value.


An unhygienic tooth pick

And as I said absolutely none of those Beaver girls. No bloody way. Instead you can have some Show Ya and be happy....




And most wonderful Burns nights to you wonderful folk up North

Happy Rabbie Burns Night Boys.
Unfortunately i don’t have a Scottish Razor ( again
so went for the Blue & White Scotlite series from PAA
well i really mean fakelite but Scotlite sounds better for tonight’s shave.
I’m now going to settle down to a good plate of
Haggis Neeps & Tatties followed by a cheeky we dram of Dalmore King Alexander the third.
Stay Safe Boys & Girls

Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!
Aboon them a’ ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang ‘s my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o’ need,
While thro’ your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see Rustic-labour dight,
An’ cut ye up wi’ ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an’ strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a’ their weel-swall’d kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
Bethankit hums.
Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi’ perfect sconner,
Looks down wi’ sneering, scornfu’ view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither’d rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro’ bluidy flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He’ll make it whissle;
An’ legs, an’ arms, an’ heads will sned,
Like taps o’ thrissle.
Ye Pow’rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o’ fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

Simply wonderful, This razor absolutely sings during the shave, what a nice sound track, the edge is still as smooth as butter and to top it off this Vintage Lady feels great in the hand and still looks stunning despite her age.
The soap, brush, and post shave just turned up for the ride.
2 silky smooth passes and a touch up on the whirlpools for a comfortable, no issue, BBS finish.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
