Thanks folks, she's put up with me and the ever-increasing accumulation of razors*/blades*/brushes*/soaps* (*delete as applicable) and given me the stare only a wife can give a husband when the next parcel arrives (we've all had it, some more than once...) but she's a keeper....

Hi Donnie

It is excellent , less Musky and a Milder menthol , but the skin feel is wonderful.

Saturday 7th August 2021

Pre: Warm rinse and wash with The Isle of Skye Soap Company Lemongrass soap
Soap/Cream: OSP Orange and Patchouli soap
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow synthetic
Razor: Fatboy (4,3,2)
Blade: Astra Platinum (2)
Post: Warm/cold rinse, Thayers Unscented, OSP Orange and Patchouli aftershave, Barts Balm Rosemary and Sandalwood balm
EdP: AdP Essenza



It’s amazing what forgotten little gems you find when having a clear out!

Step up the Fatboy…..paired with my current blade - Astra, it was a impressive performer. A few pickups needed following my 3rd pass, but the result is a trouble free BBS finish.

Similarly, the OSP has been hidden amongst soaps in a (still too full) drawer. I actually forgot just how few swirls of the brush are needed for an absolute lather fest….enough for 3 passes, pickups and a post shave face wash…and some.

I still love this little razor and when it gets used I fully appreciate its cult following and status in the vintage world.

A thoroughly enjoyable shave this afternoon.

Now back to my Innis & Gunn and this afternoons rugby.

Have a great day folks.

Late posting of an early shave today. Out with boy 2 for a birthday party today, so now back home for a well deserved alcoholic beverage after a lengthy period marshaling five year olds. When did the rules of pass the parcel change so everyone wins? Bloody snowflakes
Anyway, TDS=ace, Merkur=fantastic, Supermax=more than adequate. Not much to add really. Right, beer o'clock
