What's the thing right under?

I'm glad you asked. I was wondering the same thing!

Soap/cream knife? Mine is a vintage meerschaum and amber letter opener.

What's the thing right under?

If I'm understanding you right, it's a butter knife that I use for scooping out shaving creams.

That's lovely! It also makes a lot more sense using such a thing over my finger now I think of it.

You can pick up nice soap knives on eBay - vintage letter openers or butter / fish knives - for buttons.

Morning shave, evening entry. Great shave with the MWF and Plisson. The Feather blade still smooth on it's fifth shave, the Feather combination is so good.

Another acquisition rabbit hole I'm going to end up in!

Razor: Fine Marvel
Blade: Supermax Blue Diamond Titanium (2)
Brush: Simpsons CH2 Synthetic
Soap: TOBS Rose
Pre: Pears Soap
ASB: Boots Freshwood
ASL: Superdrug Sierran Breeze



I stand here today with a rose shaving product, enabled by a shaving forum. Initial sniff of the bowl brings me memories of Turkish Delight. Whilst not a scent I would have originally picked myself, it's TOBS so I'm expecting good performance.

On application, I found the scent to be nice and light. A good summer scent.The lather appeared quickly, as with all TOBS creams, and I'm getting my head round the method of using a Chubby brush. Paint strokes! The bathroom seems to get a similar level of application as me in the process though.

Through a bit of daydreaming, I've managed to get a few little cuts around my chin and neck but nothing the ASL couldn't sort.
