Thank you very much Kevin.

Yes I spent the majority of my Friday night polishing razors taking particular attention to the MMOC and the Clogpruf. :rolleyes:
I know I need to get a life. (Well that's what my wife said anyway :cool:) but I find it very therapeutic and furthermore if she realised how much this hardware cost she would do the same. :D

Enjoy the remainder of your weekend mate. :)

I do the same Wayne and you're right it is therapeutic and we both need to get a life :p
We could have worse hobbies :)
You too mate.
Edit: Worse hobbies?
Some might find it strange that we find lumps of brass, wood and animal fur the makings of a good photo :p

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush:- Stirling Finest Badger 26/54mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Stirling ~ Bay Rum
Razor:- Rockwell 6C (R5)
Blade:- Gillette Nacet #1
Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel / Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic
Fragrance:- YSL L'Homme

WOW!! The Rockwell R5 base plate is the smoothest shave without any razor burn and irritation using the Gillette Nacet, if you guys own a Rockwell razor start using the base plate #R5 along with Gillette Nacet throughout your whole shave is absolutely amazing.

Sat Shave

Omega 11137 boar
L`Occitane Cade Cream
Mongoose B3-satin
Kai Captain Pink [ 6 ]
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

Another Mongoose Shave today, some inner voice convinced me despite having one I must
try a polished one. I should not have listened as I find it too blingy for me, and feel guilty if I do not strip it and polish it after every Shave.

Anyway, I do not notice any great difference in the way they Shave. I do get great Shaves from the Mongoose, as I really have managed so far to use the weight to do the work and avoid using any pressure. Today was no different a very smooth and comfortable Shave, though I feel the blade might be on the wane.

Hi Paul,
With the vast array of Razors that you have, try and work out how many times you will actually use it. Also once you have two, you must realise that you will probably sell one at a loss- hopefully if it is a L2 - to me:).

Have a Good Sunday- Mike
