Wee wifey's 40th today so I'm aiming for a shave of a different sort today - a nice narrow landing strip or a broad arrowhead pointing to the target, methinks! :angel::icon_twisted:

Chance would be a fine thing: it'll be my physog I'm shaving today and I'll be lucky just to catch a glimpse of the glistening rainforest in the passing. Ruddy kitchen fitters! :icon_sad:

King of Shaves Hyperglide razor

Been using this razor now for a week basically how it was intended
Just razor and water. Wow this thing shaves like a dream. Super smooth
And for a multi blade irritation free. Can this replace all my DE stuff?
You bet it can. Will it replace all my DE stuff I don't think so but it's
A close thing.

wonderful shave. i nabbed ten of these vintage british blades from ebay a few months back, and got around to trying them tonight. theyre absolutely superb, very sharp and so smooth, ill have to keep an eye out for some more but i dont fancy my chances to be honest. theyll be my birthday and christmas blades from now on i reckon.

Kent BK8 Brush
MWF (Bowl lathered)

Result BSS WTG :heart:


Why does SWMBO start getting worried when I shave with my straight razors? It's not like I've never shaved with one before, it's just a razor that looks shiny, and nasty, and can kill with an inadvertent sneeze is all ... :icon_rolleyes:
