Went for a 3 pass shave this morning had a weeks worth of growth decided to use the taiga again and I had a really good shave with it very smooth and paired with the nacet was a great shave.

I can’t wait for this, I’m not sure I’d get the aggressive head but the other two sound be great. Any news on new handles? Or if the new heads will be available in the UK from the start of production?

I asked Valerie from Fairschenkt (Greencult)
This is the answer:

"Hi Thorsten, Yes, definitely a short handle. We'll be chatting with you soon. There are 2 options: we would have a new design or the old design or both.

England: yes, that's totally stupid that we are not allowed to sell there with our label. But then people definitely want a label too, now we are considering premium models and everything else that comes along, a new brand. Unfortunately, all of this costs a lot of money. So I can't tell you anything more than that. Unlabeled there will be the option sure if that's enough if we don't register a new brand.

In any case, the short handle is coming onto the market together with the heads."

Decent shave this morning, love this tradere and very glad I got it, despite the robbing border lot...ah well one of those things. Very smooth and takes down everything with relative ease.

Just finished a quick run out with the family to the first now we're getting ourselves set for the Monaco kick off.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

Think it's time to retire the blade to the pot with all his other retired friends.... (Like a retirement home for DE blades)

Excellent. I feared that I was sickening with the same tonsorial malaise as m'colleague @Paul L but that shave just put a smile back on my face. Funny how it goes? Cheers all - I.

Memorial Day Shave - Salute!

Sunday
Late-ish shave with the first pass being completed with the shavette with a feather Pro guard blade.

Time and efficiency means that I transfer to a DE as I am still trying to sort out my technique.

RR GC.68 with a Gillette Blue blade.
Fine Latigo soap and splash was a great performer especially with a touch of extra water for the shavette.

Great results - I'm still DFS hours later!
