I like the Nivea Q10, light, but has holding power. Also doesn't hurt that it doubles as SPF 15 sunblock. I like these derbies, I can get 6 shaves off a feather, I should be able to get 8 out of these... but my mileage HAS varried in the past

PS: Pic is for a couple of people who asked about my Razor. It was off Ebay with outer cardboard box/blade holder/old Eclipse blade/chrome plated box. It shaves like a dream which isn't bad for 80+ years old.

Man that fatboy shaves nicely! I had only tried it once, and i think the combo of hard water (I was out of town) and some pre-existing angry ingrowns influenced me to ignore it for the last three weeks...but I'm so glad I brought it back out...shaved so incredibly I can't believe it. I used settings of 3 for my face and 2 for my neck and got a really close, sweet shave.

the SCS savory rose is really nice, and when coupled with the thayer's rose I'm left feeling so totally calmed and relaxed. Great shave!

Unique razor - pink swirl scales - gotta love it. Actually, I got it because ot the blade. 10/10 performer after some work. Plan to get it to 10+/10 (if it has it in) and use as a default shaver.

The strop is very very nice, I reach for it over my DD Russian

Photo: note the reflection of the ceiling fan on the blade. Not bad...
