I have a sample of the fougere. It definitely lathers up like a champ but I found the slickness not all that great and the post shave was quite drying. Very glad I got a sample rather than forking out for a full tin.

That as nice as my other soaps are, I'm in serious danger of becoming a one soap man for the rest of my days. I've tried a lot of them in my time but I'm craving The Fat ever since I used up my sample.

That T&H no.10, whilst one of the T&H budget offerings, is a really good cream. Not used it in a while and brought it out this morning for a great shave 
Slick as a politicians shoulders.

True, but I was always undecided what smelled worse, this or BS Maca Root. Both excellent performers though.That T&H no.10, whilst one of the T&H budget offerings, is a really good cream. Not used it in a while and brought it out this morning for a great shave

"Preferences" don't surprise me anymore. I quite like the scent of Mara Root cream.
Most TOBS scents are very popular with our members and yet I would only spend money on two of them. The other day I stopped at the TOBS store and took a sniff of their creams, not impressed with most of them but I'm sure if I had to shave with the grapefruit scented cream I'd puke
somebody else might love that scent.So the lesson for me is never to buy a soap / cream / AS, etc unless I can sniff it first
something I don't always remember when I'm about to pull the trigger on something

Should've given up on the blade instead of carrying on as tugging after one use Lada (2). Soreness and irritation!

I prefer shaving at night when I allow myself more time, can relax, enjoy and know that I get an extra 30min kip in the morning...

This evening I learned that I can both cut myself AND get irritation from my razorock stealth v.4. also not to shave angry. (Sports Direct refusing to exchange football boots which lasted exactly 15 minutes on court)
For some reason unknown subliminal reason I've avoided the Gillette 7 O'clock range to date. Having traded with @flobberdob to acquire a couple of packs last month, I tried a Yellow Sharp Edge in my Aristocrat #16 today. Truly excellent it was, maybe a frogs hair less sharp than a Gillette Stainless or PSI, but incredibly smooth. Looks like I'm going to have get a 100 of these as well now

That a soaked Cadman brush (26mm silvertip), gently shaken (not stirred) provides sufficient water for a 45 second load of any P&B soap to make a perfect lather first time with no additional water required.

You're supposed to rub it on, Db - not drink it!
Smells more like it's been drunk previously and is now being recycled in a bottle ...
