    Longevity of shave creams and using a brush to get the cream out.

    I use a small plastic spatula, the sort you get with small tubs of ice cream sold in theatres.

    Open comb vs Safety bar?

    I've been using my Merkur 25c open comb razor, and it gives a smooth yet mild shave.

    Scuttle/soap holder.

    I saw at least 7 scuttles at a local fete today. I didn't buy any though, the main reason being that they had the holes in the bowl part. Was it a flock of scuttles? A herd? A shoal? A gaggle?

    Holiday!

    You can put DE blades in your main luggage, which goes in the aircraft's hold; but you can't carry DE blades in your hand luggage.

    Bachelor-Project

    My answers are pretty much the same as those already posted, but with cartridge razors (multi blade) most cartridges are designed to fit just the one brand of handle. With double edge razor blades you can use different brands of blades in the same or different razors, but with cartridge razors...

    Scuttle/soap holder.

    No, it's been there for a few weeks now, and I'm not tempted to buy it because I prefer to use a bowl.

    Scuttle/soap holder.

    A local charity shop near me has one in their window.

    I never said ugly about any razor..until now

    I'm assuming that the two screws at the top enable you to adjust the blade position, including using the razor like a slant by tightening 1 screw slightly more than the other. The spring may enable the head to adjust to facial contours.

    A cup of tea...

    Up until around 10 years ago there was a tea and coffee shop called Brewers of Southsea. They sold loose leaf tea, freshly ground coffee, and all manner of teapots, coffee percolators (the 'dalek' ones), and tea making accessories. Their best tea was India and Ceylon blend. The shop closed...

    Shea Butter

    [attachment=13809][attachment=13810][attachment=13811] Apparently it is a closely guarded secret among African women as to how shea butter is made. It is an ingredient in Dudu Osun African black soap, and it is a nice soap to shower with.

    Never before, Never After

    It is the actions of one person. I know it hurts when something like that happens, but I see the bigger picture, and try and remember when these things don't occur. And, look at the really bad things happening in the world, like those boat loads of refugees capsizing in the Mediterranean Sea. I...

    Wilkinson Sword Blades - Codes and Designs

    In the 1990s the blade tray had a different shape because it was designed to fit a wall bracket which the razor was sold in. The bracket could be screwed to the wall to hold the razor (WS Classic), and the blade tray fitted into a space on the bracket.

    Face scrubs / cleansers

    I would recommend Dove. They make a scrub and face wash, and a shaving cream. They have a creamy texture, and you can occasionally get them at half or reduced price in most supermarkets.

    Wilkinson Sword soap.

    I used the WS shaving soap in a blue bowl last year, and I always got good lathers from it. The earlier black bowl version wasn't so good, but that was in the 1990s.
