More blood loss?Pre: Heyland & Whittle Soap
Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch
Brush: Vulfix Simpson Synthetic
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: Voskhod
Post: Thayers Witch Hazel with Rose
A/S Balm: Aveda
Hey hey Mr Postman had my friend's Fatip Piccolo for me, so paired it with what I hoped would be a reassuring and protective soap (thanks for the positive remarks on Haslinger, guys. Wouldn't have tried it but for you).
My friend is going to ask me what I thought of the razor, so I'll blurt it out here to deserved indifference.
Smaller than your average razor, but strong and solid. Reputation for bad behaviour (even biting) with some. But those who treat it with respect can enjoy its undoubtedly superb performance.
And then I had it. The Fatip Piccolo is the DE Razor equivalent of Luis Suarez.
Zero pressure, Branislav. Remember, zero pressure.

More blood loss?
Good Shaving Preparation & Technique are the golden rules.No, I'm delighted to say, and thanks for asking.
In a funny way, it was probably a positive experience. Nothing tells a man to brush up on his technique like his own blood, dripping into the basin.
I don't think so...I scour the web and antique shops etc for ceramic pots for shaving soap - I have around 40 now - but actual shaving soap ceramic pots are few and far between. The Boots pot in the pic is obviously an actual shaving soap pot, but my other one is just for soap...but it has Boots' address in Nottingham on the top, which is the city of my birth, so I nabbed it off eBay because of the personal connection as well as it's function
I actually quite like the battered tins...and the label has a classic look to it. I have noticed that Chinese/Japanese sellers often go that extra mile to make sure the customer's happy. I won't be complaining about this particular product though (but good tip)Just to note, I complained about the state of my battered tubs of Blue's fat soap and they kindly sent me two more to keep me happy... They were still battered but they will bend over backwards to keep you happy and get good feedback.

Ah...Cloughy...the greatest manager England never had...and just look at what's happened to the FA's latest choice. The way we should choose in future is let the FA select a new manager and then make sure we give the job to someone else...ANYONE ELSE!You've reminded me of a lovely anecdote in 'I Believe in Miracles' where the players reveal that part of Brian Clough's pre-season training was to take them running up by the Boots factory, and get them to run through the clumps of stinging nettles in shorts. And they did.
