The blade is still going strong although I did get a bit of heat on my face this morning. I was a little rushed and should have waited till later to take my time. Rating: 4 / 5 Razor: Feather Popular Blade: Personna Lab Blue/Med Prep Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Amber Aerolite Stygian...

Another top level shave! First time using the soap and although the scent is long gone (assuming there ever was one) it produced a really dense lather easily. The laurel soap helps a great deal with prep, too; often turning a very good shave into an excellent shave with the extra slip and...

A genuinely top notch shave today! Third shave with this blade, now paired with my trusty Mk.I adjustable. This razor I had gold plated twelve years ago and has probably performed a couple of thousand shaves since then. Sadly the gold is wearing on the top cap now but it gives it character...

I like the look of it too! And the Seaglass models on the same site. I am on a super-strict no acquisitions diet for the foreseeable future. Will keep an eye out for any reviews from members

Another great shave with this razor and blade combo. Another great combo is the Floid a blue homage shaving soap and aftershave splash. Really top-notch smells and excellent shaving and post-shave performances here! Rating: 4 / 5 Razor: PAL Injectomatic black and gold (1960s) Blade: Schick...

Cracking shave, Gromit! Continuing the blade and the lovely Scottish Fine shaving soap (which smells a lot like Kent/Mitchell's Wool Fat) but have been anticipating using the Epsilon aftershave for a long time... About 8 months in storage away from home! Tomorrow I'll pair this with the...

@ATG how much is left in each, please?

Some first tries today: First try of a Personna Lab Blue in the Schrägschnitt. This razor seems to bring the best out of every blade I've tried in it. No exception with this blade. Some minor irritation on the neck. First try of the Scottish Fine Soaps shaving soaps. Took a chance on a pack of...

Wishing you a very happy birthday, Graeme

Happy birthday @Electrif !

What better way to celebrate a new house with a new razor!* The black handle, gold-coloured metal PAL injectomatic with a trusty Schick Ultra Platinum. An excellent smooth shave with just one or two nicks and a small spot of irritation. (*both are just new to me as they've had previous...

The it would be Paul, not you, who was taking the piss

A fairly close shave but either the Brazilian is dying or it's milder in the EJ. Have to say even without using any post-shave solution except water, and with a day between shaves, skin after the shave feels great! Rating: 4 / 5 Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89 Blade: Wilkinson Sword Brazilian...

An excellent second shave with this blade and the Bostonian. A bit better than yesterday's. The Palmolive stick performed admirably; this is a vintage one and the little remaining scent belied its stellar performance. Novon is a great no frills Barbershop cologne which I can splash on any day...

I believe it's chrome coated carbon steel but others will chip in if I'm wrong. I have used this and the Dura Sharp and found both to be very good. They are cheap enough that you can try them and sell or donate the remainder (perhaps on this forum) if you don't like them

A close and comfortable shave. I've had closer but I had a lot of growth and didn't do any pre-shave so think it did quite well. Rating: 4 / 5 Razor: Gillette Mk. I Adjustable 195 'Fatboy' (1960) Blade: Wilkinson Sword Brazilian, modern Brush: Vulfix 404 "The Grosvenor" Lather: Captain...

No prizes for guessing which excellent low cost soap I used today. That's right: Palmolive cream. An excellent shave. The Schrägschnitt brings out the best of this cheap but respectably-performing blade and the Pino Silvestre topped it off with its (to me) basil-heavy and pine-light fragrance...

Thank you! It doesn't have much scent left and what I can smell I *think* is tallow

Sadly it's a pre-published-ingredients box

I have boxed it up as in the process of moving home, but seeing as it's you I will check
