Weightlifting? No!

I have just lost (by design) 2.5 stone - 35lb - 16kg. I find my shaving preferences have changed. For a few years I have used the aggressive R41-Feather combination but have recently been finding it rather too harsh. For the past week I have returned to a Merkur Barbour Pole Slant with Feather...

E45 cream is fairly thick but E45 lotion is not. It comes in a pump top bottle,and is quite milky.

Have to try it, Karl, but it's nearly three time the price of E45 lotion, so it would have to be good! Boots quote: E45 lotion £1.50/100ml Cerave lotion £4/100ml

Does anyone use E45 lotion or cream as an aftershave balm? If so, what is your opinion? I do use Arco natural cream but my wife complains about the smell (I think it more or less odourless!) I have recently been reaching for E45 lotion, which I quite like. The thicker cream might be better...

For years I used a Mekur Slant with a Feather Blade to cut my wirey white whiskers, then I moved on the an R41 Open Comb with a Feather, that being supposed the most aggressive razor available for a sensible price. That combination still gets me a fine, close and fuss free shave. Recently...

I had presumed that the alum blocks we use after shaving were mined mineral deposits just carved out of the rock and cut to size, much as common salt (sodium chloride) may be mined; but watching a TV programme on the North Yorkshire coast I now wonder if that is the case. Is alum mined anywhere...

I always use Taylors Sandalwood Cream: that's what I would take. I might transfer some to a smaller container if I was going by air.

Nor does Connaught, if you bulk buy. I do.

Just back from Waitrose. They wanted £3 for ten DE blades These http://connaughtshaving.com/wilkinson.html Sold by Connaught for £2.40 or less. I haven't looked at Boots prices in years.

In 1969 when I was 19 I abandoned the Philishave electric razor my father had given me for a Gillette twist to open DE razor. The electric razor just wasn't doing the job for me. Over the years I moved with Gillette marketing to various multi blade products. In about 2000 I decided the latest...

I move between Southampton and Nicosia. I never do anything different. Taylor cream, the hottest water I can bear. R41 and Feather. Splash with coldest water available. Rub with alum block and finish with Arco Cream. From 18 - 40C in any humidity. Why the fuss?

Thanks for all your hard work, Boab.

No, full set or nothing for me.

A Slim Adjustable. Lucky boy! Nice razor. They change hands for ridiculous prices. I use an R41 most of the time but if I need on consecutive days I pick up my less aggressive Slim Adjustable - and still used opened right up to 9.

How aggressive is the Variant when opened right up? My only comparison would be a vintage Gillette Slim Adjustable, which is not quite as aggressive as an R41.

They do say that original R41 was extremely fierce!
