First time using the Gillette Super Nacet, seemed nice enough, but I don't think it's up there with the run of the Russian Nacet.

Are those Gillette super nacets new?

I love nacets but seen that one before

Ah, just spoke to Mike and it's only the Oxford Blue and Officer's and Gentlemen soap which is worth buying!
It's odd but I can confirm that those two soaps are very good indeed!

From the ingredient list, they're both the same soap ... and the same as T&H current formula, which is very good indeed.

Trumpers regular range is way beyond disappointing and more like a crass joke.

Well, the plot thickens!

Where when why!

GFT brought two T&H soaps and sold them on as their own!?

There was a lot of talk once about a soap company up in Dundee, was it? Basically, The Three T's all bought from them. T&H and TOBS must be laughing their pants off at Trumpers for buying the dud and calling it their own.
 
Sun 15
Soap Rasozero Agrumella
Brush Yaqi 22mm Joy Butterscotch Boar
Razor Henkels & Friodur 472
Aftershave Reuzel Wood & Spice
Forgotten soap...really good quality lather...thickly creamy and slick but lightly scented. The reuzel matches nicely.
A wonderfully relaxing Sun shave with this excellent razor. Refreshed & strop on the hanging 0.1um balsa and kanayama...the edge was buttery smooth soft. 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

My first ever shave with a Gillette razor, a Made in England Ball-end Tech, with ALU base plate that I picked up on ebay in a moment of momentary weakness (heh). Well, it wasn't great, but also it was much better than any other light razor I every used. I am pretty sure it's my poor technique, I suppose I'll need to learn to shave with the lightweights properly...

It will come with practice. Short strokes, relather, and don't apply pressure.

What is that shaving soap like? I saw it on ebay and it looked a bit like Mitchell's wool fat. Was it good at cushioning you from the blade and how does it smell?

Thank you for the advice, appreciated!

Regarding the soap: I like it very much, the lather is indeed thick and creamy, easy to whip up, performs excellently. I guess a lot like proper MWF. I have two of the HWFs (No.s 1 and 2), but I find it difficult to describe scents... I think they're both somewhat scented (unlike the 'cleanness' of MWF), especially no.1 is sort of 'fresh' (I suppose that's the patchouli?), but not overly strong. Perhaps there are other shavers on the forum who can do this better...
