Don't like this razor,once again the Germans have failed to deliver a complete shave,every time I use it I miss a patch on my face :mad: so now I have to go shopping with a small bush under my jaw. Why can a 80 year old Gillette do the job perfictly,but this pice of poo fails time and time again? What do the Germans think I am shaving? A dead cat!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Tried this new Portuguese shaving cream for the first time. This is made by Ach.Brito for the Portuguese brand "Antiga Barbearia de Bairro", and was recently launched in Portugal. WOW! I'm really impressed. It seems to be even better than the Confiança creams, and a close brother of Musgo Real, although with a different and very pleasing scent (citrus with some warmer notes).
A very creamy lather, with lots of cushion and glide, it leaves a thin, moisturising film on your face, allowing me to do some touch-ups without the need to re-applying it. A top notch cream!
