You must have amazing dexterity to be able to shave with three razors at once, two is difficult enough although one in each hand usually works ok, but three

Great kit. I’ve been at this DE lark for over ten years and regularly use a DE89 and the same brush which is an absolute classic in my sort of humble opinion. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday

Friday 21 April

I can see why Blackland razors get such rave reviews. Just received my (second hand) Blackbird from US and gave it a whizz this morning.
Emperor soap from Razo Rock (decanted into old Boots Bakelite shaving bowl) lathered quickly and easily from my hand-made spalted beach synthetic brush. Set a Personna platinum chrome in the head and let the razor do the work. A lot of pleasing feedback from the cutting action and I could have stopped after a really smooth first pass wtg. However, couldn’t resist a re lather and went atg plus a few pick ups for a BBS finish. I was so enjoying the shave that I blithely carried on without actually removing any more growth. Just polishing my face I guess. No irritation or weepers though.
This is one excellent razor, 10/10
Have a great POETS day fellas!

Savonniere du Moulin Shaving Soap & DSC Professional w/Syndbad Synthetic Fan 26mm
Razorock Teck w/Red Horseman Ball-Ended Handle & Lord Captain (Carbon) (5)
Brut Splash-On (as Aftershave)

Continuing Artisan April ...

Another shave with the carbon steel Lord Captain and by 'eck that's a razor that lets the horse out of the stable! It's been a while. I recall the Razorock Teck being sold under Chinese brands before it became avaible through Razorock. Bai Li, possibly? Anyway, bravo to the designers as it's a well engineered design and really lets the blade sing. I paired it with a hand-made handle from old forum member Red Horseman.

And as my final entry for this past week of SOTD's I am shavingly happy to present you with today's shave complete with the theme, 'Things trembling between the knees and knee tremblers'



Grande Cojones - Ikon B1
Slappers - Gillette 7-O'Clock
John Holmes - AP Shaving 24mm Cashmere
Big pink - MDC Rose
Mr Bojangles - Collegen

'Mr Smart! That is revolting!'

'Brazilian?'

Just the tonic to end a great past week and just the dogs danglies to bring a smile to my face. And no I don't go around looking for the best pair of canine nads, or cannads. Not to be mistaken for Clannad, a folk band who sang great songs such as 'Bawbag on Eirne'



No, in fact an absolutely cracking shave which to be honest is an expectation of the B1 and to be even more honest, it is the only thing it does. As much as I love the Goose, if life said 'One razor' this would be it. Controllable, aggressive, accurate and just one piece of brilliance. A classic. The Gillette being a super pairing which kind of softens its otherwise kids glove stance.

MDC and the AP? They are.

Happy and grinning because of the dogs bits.

As usual it is time to throw some puffyshoes at you. And from their cracking album 'Finally the weekend'.......




The secret being....I love you all
