Gillette 7 o'clock sharp edge are in my top three blades.Good idea trying them out first before a bulk buy .
I have tried about 11 different blades and found these in a sample pack, so got a couple of tucks just to make sure. Found them sharp and smooth better than feather and Astra for me.

After much deliberation, reading many reviews, threads and most importantly the advice of you kind folk. I took the plunge and bought a Duke 3 in Best. Cheers.
Good luck with your new brush!

The Kai SE disposable razors have intrigued me for quite a while now - I mean a KAI-made disposable SE razor that many people actually like - and even compare it to the Mongoose...and that cost $2-3 for five razors..AND an option for SS or Carbon blade... I just had to find out for myself how they are
The handle is folded metal btw.
"Normally" these razors are either the Blue (Carbon blade) or Gold-S (SS).
You can order either of them on Rakuten Blue and Gold . Me, I was lazy and picked up my packages on Amazon in a box with all Japanese so no idea what will be inside them (I'm guessing maybe blue..or green(?) as it says carbon blades...
(And sorry I think I took the last two).

Just read about Star Noir. Inspired by Bowie, very clever title.
I like the sound of Baskerville, thing is I'm not sure their soaps agree with me. I've only used Spitfire so far but I get a light stinging sensation when using it. I'm fine afterwards and no redness.

Ha, I've looked everywhere , you can't find it for love nor money and I bet if it was for sale it would cost a fortune!If only there was a place we could buy 'willpower'
I see your will power was nowhere to be seen....brush, another brush, soap, it's an illness, can't be helped so no point in worrying about it.
Just spent a chunk of my timeless razor money though so that will have to wait a couple of weeks now! Take it easy bud.
