Have a nice day, gentlemen ! ;)
 
+1 on the Rapira Swedish Super Steel blades,superb blades.like most other russian made blades..Paired up in my Fatip grande i get sublime silky smooth shaves..for the price the Fatip Piccolo & grande are superb DE razors..and are IMHO some of the best open comb razors on offer.
Couldn't agree more. I was put off by the 'aggressive' labelling of the Fatips; but following the usual common sense techniques, I've had continually close, smooth shaves. No nicks, weepers or burn.
 
Thursday...

It's always good to know that, generally, you can get decent shaves without breaking the bank; hence this re-test of my travel kit (apart from the brush, that is).

Soap - Palmolive stick, grated
Brush - Edwin Jagger Medium Best Badger
Face lather
Razor - Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade - Gillette Nacet #3
Post - Thayer's and Fine Platinum

DFS+1. I'm always chuffed how good a 50p shaving stick can be. It lathers up beautifully in the form of a puck; as well as when it's brushed after applying directly onto the bristles in stick form.

Good performance from the WS/Gillette combo. 3 passes and a wee bit buffing.

Have a great one, everyone.

Razor: Razorock Black Hawk
Soap: Taylor's of Old Bond Street Shaving Cream For Sensitive Skin

All black everything. Getting closer to the end, think I can count the uses left on my one hand...

A fantastic shave with the Black Hawk, I think the Kai Pink blades are perfect for me, got a flawless shave and felt very smooth during use. Curious to see the mileage with the blade.
