I use the head sometimes but never the handle.
My wife took it and won't give it back

This razor is so easy to use, it is also about the most comfortable ER version i have used. Spot on that.
The Signature soaps are just so easy to use and always produce a luxurious lather, today was no exception. The PIF'd Yaqi brush is becoming a firm favourite a big Thank you to Iain @Digimonkey.
Enjoy your day all.
 


Razor: Blackland Tradere
Blade: GSB (1)
Brush: Highlander with Boti Pink
Soap: Rex 1966
Splash: Rex 1966

Had the privilege of completing the experience of the blackland range (save for the vector ti) thanks to a loan from a kind forum member. It's a very elegant one too, a great mild but reasonably efficient shaver.

The Rex soap and splash is a pleasant mild orange-y scent.

Pleasant shaves to all!
 

Reacquainted with Rainbow blades (oh yes, Geoffrey!) after a long sojourn. Good overall shave. Very close in most areas but some I just feel it can't get closer after a few attempts so don't want to risk irritation.
Luckily there was none and the result was great!


Rating: 4 / 5


Razor: Gillette Mk. I Adjustable 195 'Fatboy' (1960)

Cheers Tony, lover the “flower shop” analogy.
 
Nice to see another Goya aftershave user! I'm a fan of Cedarwood and (especially) Corvette.

Spoilers are blades I don't see often, either! I only have a few so use them sparingly.

Lastly the Fatboy is my go to razor. Everything - aesthetics, balance, handle length and width and gentle but efficient performance - works so well for me.
