I must have been sicker than I thought - I've lost two inches off my waist in the last ten days. :confused: - I.

It's taken me dieting since March, starving myself to near death and over a 1000Km (including pre Lands End challenge) of cycling to lose 2 inches. What is it you say you've got?

Hope you are on the mend Iain and be well

Super nice soap & splash for the aromatic scent and a creamy slick lather...whip-up by the excellent soft boar brush...
I am just partial to old heavier grind razors...and this heavyweight is a softy despite the look. The edge is excellent after putting it through the buffalo leather...

Brush: PAA Switchback Oumo Silk
Soap: B&M TFMOM
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather Professional (3)
Post: B&M TFMOM AS & Balm

Decent shave this morning, this B&M is an odd one, I keep swinging between 'that's really nice" to "dear lord who emptied an ashtray", I just don't get it! Either which way a very good irritation free finish.

The vector always does a fantastic job and gives a long lasting finish, but I don't think it would ever become my desert razor, oddly it just seems too easy, doesn't make sense I know!

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

A new blade in the "Peerless" giving a wonderfully smooth finish.
The knot fell out of the old Vulfix the other day when i was checking it over, easily refitted using a glue gun, it has held up so far, hopefully it will last a while longer, it is my softest boar brush, so nice to use.
The original balm from Barts is on its last legs, luckily i have a new version - the "Ben Lomond" waiting in the wings.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Second shave in a row with the Claymore, and another very fine shave this morning. The Claymore Evolution works well for me giving consistently close and comfortable shaves with the Feather Professional blade. Feather blades are the only blades that fit in this early Claymore, but I have felt no need to try others, the shaves being that good.
