Beaver cleaver - Stainless Colonial General
Busy beaver - Schick Proline
Beaver brush (but not a beaver brush) - Yaqi Dandelion
Beaver cream (?) - Gentleman's Tonic
Eager beaver - Faena aftershave balm
So a beavering away type of shave and this past week as seen much the same gear in action as I am stuck on the boat for another 2 weeks and so limited.
During this past week away my son developed Covid-19 which threw our world in to turmoil and worry. It did mean I couldn't go home as I would have had to isolate for 14 days so the company decided it would be better I stay onboard.
Very happy to say he has improved no end and back at his own place but I still remain here as my wife is now isolating. Everyone is good and that is all I care about.
I popped over to see my wife this morning to have a garden gate natter just as the postie turned up with my Enoch so at least I do have something new to play with.
So a super beaver smooth shave and a happier day than this past week.

I decided to try a cold water shave today, my 1st attempt i did not enjoy so much, as i did not get a close finish.
My technique must have improved since then as i really enjoyed that, i completed a face lather which worked really well, i just dampened the face and worked up a nice lather. The CH2 synth holding enough for the shave.
I did notice that the Audio feedback was a bit louder and the Sabre just did its job, with remarkable, comfortable efficiency.
2 passes, WTG and a Mixed pass leaving me BBS, a cold splash, rub of witch hazel and the post shave skin feel is very very nice.
Finishing off the post shave with the Barts Balm lotion and balm then a splash of Old Spice.
I am smooth, comfortable and smelling good.
Stay Safe and enjoy your day All

Fair question - from what you say about the razor - a reference to Enoch Powell's most famous speech?I find Enoch such a strange name for a razor. Enoch?
