Is Bolton different to the rest of the country?

Well… I believe the mullet is still the height of fashion there. Is that enough of a time difference?

Wickham 1912 Magnum
Plisson synthetic
Rex Ambassador (6/3)
Treet Platinum
Village Barber balm


​

That was a first. I have never used the Ambassador set on 6 before. First pass on 6 (maximum), plenty of blade feel, very light touch and no damage, fortunately. I lost my bottle for the second pass and reset the razor to a more acceptable 3. But, it was not the closest shave ever, in fact I don’t think it was as close as yesterday and I really needed the Village Barber balm. Odd! Not the reward for the risk I expected.

Soap Noble Otter Lonestar
First use of this razor from Pearl shaving it’s pretty close to the De89 and R89 Razors in efficiency, but the additional weight helps it cut through whiskers easier and it’s cool looking

Ikon B1 - this thing is a weapon and I don't have a licence. I will have to let go of this one

It's a God. They need time, patience, kid gloves and a prayer does help. The proprietary coated black is actually the mildest (!?) of the bunch with the stainless and polished version being born of evil. And if you think the B1 is a bad boy just don't go near the Tech. As someone said, 'a slashers tool'

B1's though, I just love everything about them
