I got so lost in the wonderful world of places in the Shetland Islands with rude names I utterly forgot to write up my SOTD. As it was, going through the drawer of shaving soaps I continued to forget as there lurking at the back was a tin of Hibernia. Please note the original and best with the cheap and 'brewed in a kitchen' label. I also forgot how damn good this stuff is. God bless the back of drawers. And the original stainless General while blessing things.
At least I did remember it was one smashing end to the day and massive grin value.
And I will always remember something Japanese and something girly to sign out on, so make itBlistar. let's not, being as I got the wrong video. In fact it is to be TsuShiMaMiRe. Equally as good and someone the Otoboke girls admire greatly.
Cheers Chris, hope you enjoy it. Best Regards Brian28/06/2022

Well I’ve managed the impossible, I’ve made the ATT G1 bite. I’ve no idea how, I was pushing the angle to try and get a slightly more efficient shave, hit a bit of a blemish and then the blood flowed! I probably won’t be able to ever recreate it but I’ll try again tomorrow! The TOBS lime zest is a strong, powerfully zesty scent but I found the post shave feel a little dry.
Hopefully tomorrow will be less eventful!
It’s odd how we can have different reactions to the same razors. I’ve always found it to be my most mild of mild razors.And oddly in my case I can't stop the G1 biting with every shave I've used it to date. In many ways a more frightening prospect than the Rocnel SE-P which believe me is scary.
I am in two minds whether I want to try it again.
