It was you wasn't it? I remember someone trying and having problems with a succession of A&E soaps but couldn't recall who precisely. It's a shame - it smells wonderful. @gile - sounds like you're going the same way mate. Nae luck.

I agree Dave, Schick band razor is better than the Gillette, although the latter were included in the kit by NASA for the moon landing boys but maybe Gillette offered to pay more than Schick for the privilege? Also, apparently some folk got 100 shaves out of a Techmatic cartridge, but I’m guessing from your experience here you might find that a bit of stretch

Thanks, I thought it was in my head at first but noticeably better to me. Yeah 100 shaves would be a stretch for me but good for them

B. - Lovely Semogue, I've never seen that style of handle previously - the Caravela is a mixed badger/boar knot. Is that correct? - I.

It's a shame it's resigned to history; the Valobra shaving stick produces a superb lather.

I think it was the original Badger/Boar from Semogue. I was a LE of 100 pieces produced for a Spanish and a Portugese Shaving Foum collaboration. The general release of the SOC 2012 SE had a slightly less dense version of the knot and was more widely available.
It was indeed. I failed to learn the first two times.It was you wasn't it? I remember someone trying and having problems with a succession of A&E soaps but couldn't recall who precisely. It's a shame - it smells wonderful. @gile - sounds like you're going the same way mate. Nae luck.

(I’m just jealous as recently I turned down an offer to buy an F type with box. Thought it was too expensive at $400. Really regret not scratching that itch.
