Lather - NSS Moroccan Sands

The agony and the ecstasy.
I thought the shave was a bit mild, then realised that I’d put the plate in the Rockwell the wrong way round. Rather stupidly, I tried to swap it back with soapy hands… and it was Nanny’s soap too… very slidey. So I put a great slice in my thumb which just bled and bled.

It was a shame as I was on track for a near-perfect two-pass shave. Despite my discombobulation I got a handsome result, just two tiny nicks and zero irritation. The Proraso glue in the photo was for my thumb, not my face.

Can’t wait to try out the razor/blade combo next time.

Erm… I also have to ‘fess up I was in the pub at lunchtime… didn’t affect my judgment at all.

Life is difficult when you can’t use an opposable thumb… no wonder dogs never took over the world.

Another epic lather from this soap and the matching splash smells wonderfully refreshing.
The razor turned a little rusty after the last trip to the beach but the edge is still good. No more straight shaving on the beach!

Soap • Extro Arancia Italiano
Brush • Yaqi Ever Helpful 22mm Synthetic
Razor • Razorock Hawk V3
Blade • Kai CT Pink (4)
Post • Floid Mentally Vigorous



Extro soaps/croaps, for me, are outstanding in slickness and post shave feel. Get the water content right and they perform every time.
Kai Captain Titan Blade on it's fourth use was silky smooth.

Schick Proline ( 3 )
La Toja A/S Lotion

Realise that before I use some of my Vintage ER Razors,I need to dig out a fresh batch of blades as I have finished the last 100:eek:ff. So used The Hiram Commander rather than the ER1914 that I had planned to use.
A very pleasant Shave with this extremely reliable Razor, which despite its bulk is very agile.

It’s on my burgeoning “to do” list.

I’d prefer to do it on Big Computer so I can type properly… rather than the pesky iPad.

Big Computer is an Alan Turing Mark I Difference Engine… so I have to go to the bottom of the garden, rick up the boiler and make sure The steam pressure is up just below the red. Then I have to let the valves warm up and make sure the tappets all greased up…

… but I’m on it…
