Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
Ingrams (Egypt) Shaving Cream & ABW Scanlon w/Cashmere Synthetic 24mm
Personna Double Edge & Personna Comfort Coated (3)
Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum

Since the re-release of Ingrams is an unmitigated disaster, I did a spot of panic-buying and bought in a tube of the Egyptian stuff in case that gets lost in any future ownership battles. Ingrams was practically the first shaving cream that I bought, maybe a day or two into my traditional shaving journey and it really is superb! The Egyptian one, that is ...

What a fantastic pairing the super-sharp Personna Comfort Coated is in this vintage Personna Tech clone. Like the cover-version appreciation thread, we should have a razor clone appreciation thread because Personna didn't just copy the Gillette Tech and pop a couple of slots into the posts so that you couldn't mix and match with Gillette but they nipped up a few of the dimensions and made it quite literally perfect! Perfect for a sharp blade, that is as I have been left wanting with a milder blade since the blade gap and the blade presentation are so slight that you'd be forgiven in thinking it was a mild razor - not so; it is smooth, smooth and smooth with a capital SMOO. Face-turbating now, it really was a close shave and off my usual single pass it's beyond DFS and heading right for baby-smooth. Two passes would get that, certainly three.

... and what a joy it is to splash that VIBR burn on after an Ingrams face-freeze!

My Japanese isn’t quite up to it but do you have any idea what these chicks are singing about? Or maybe there’s a group doing an English cover version for us to watch? :unsure: Just wondering

Do I have any idea? Only when the guitarist shouts 'We are Otoboke beaver'.

Otherwise my Japanese is shite, but do I care? Not at all. I have all their albums, seen them live and just love their mad music and attitude. They are truly bonkers.

An English cover band? I'd be gutted if one existed.

It's been a while since i last used the Omega shaving cream and forgot how much easy it is to create a slick protective lather, with a good kick from the Eucalyptus oil to give my ageing face sensors a vibrant winter morning wakeup call!

The Lancet Super Platinum continues to impress me with its smooth efficiency.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick-ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd Essentials No9 EdP to the pulse points.

My face is feeling cool, smooth & smelling divine. ;)
