I have the same blades for my shavette. Really nice and smooth blades and yes very cheap too! It's £1.5 for 100 from where I am from...Wednesday 1st July
Alpha Outlaw - Wickham 1912 Apricus - Rocnel SE-P Open Comb - Euromax Platinum #1 - Osmanli Lemon Cologne - Wickham 1912 Apricus ASB
My last 2 shaves with the Rocnel were smooth, close and excellent. Which told me I'd really got a handle on this very unique razor.
I bought some Euromax saloon blades as an experiment, plus they were less than £3 for 100. Yes, I have been known to like a bargain.
What an excellent blade it turns out to be, as the shave was smooth and truly marvelous. In fact as good as the ½ Nacet gave me the last time I shaved with the razor.
If this blade gives me another good shave in 2 days, I'll be delighted.

I do expect it may become a rarity rather like the Mongoose from the same stable.
Another shaving cream test for me this evening...Palmolive Menthol...

- Usual pre-shave wash with ash Brito Glyce soap
- Palmolive Menthol bowl lathered with Phoenix AA 'Green Ray' synthetic
- EJ89/Nacet/Razorock titanium
- Cold rinse and alum
- Osage Rub post-shave splash
Excellent shave cream, lathered fast and very nicely with the synthetic brush (but synths do seem to be particularly well suited to creams). Not a massive menthol hit but I made up for that by using Osage Rub (just starting to get into a new bottle). I didn't bother with any EDT because, as you will know if you have experience of Osage rub, it will do to most fragrances what the Hulk did to Loki in that Avengers movie.
I'll also mention that for the last couple of years I have not used any under-arm deodorants or anti-perspirants, but instead use products like Allume di Rocca...basically it's just alum in a plastic pot. It's a very non-invasive way of inhibiting under-arm bacterial growth and of course you can rub it over your face after shaving if you're so inclined. As such I reckon it makes a great travel combo deodorant and post-shave item
That's my shave tip of the month...Good evening to all
Brush or razor or name?Nice handle.

Thanks patw. Yes, I've used that as well. I assume that it's all the same stuff...just alum shaped like a roll-on...but I'm sure there are claims about manufacturing processes that some brands use to justify higher prices...I mean, 'Allume di rocca' sounds really posh don't it? It does work though!I stopped using deodorant spray a few years ago.

You know what? I've moved to synths to protect the badger, boars and horses; now I'll move to cardboard to reduce plastic waste! Is this an Amazon cardboard box...i.e. ten times bigger than it needs to be?Now also available in a cardboard box for those wanting to reduce their plastic useage, I too only use Salt of the earth as a natural deodorant ( Cardboard box )
