[SIZE="1"]Ah... You can't beat the cold steel and the badger. All this electrical rubbish, little wheels spinning around all over the place for callow youths and peach fluff, Not for a man's beard. Razor blades for men! I think we'll have this on number 9. If you're going to have a shave have a close one!

Trumpers Limes Skinfood
L'Occitane Green Tea EDT
May have to use this soap in the showerSmells great....but it is a new formulation and I think it contains too much shea butter. My face feels oily after use and too much drag during shaving. Had to rescue the last pass with some Erasmic soap which is pure glycerine.

Hi Alex.Originally Posted by AJS
I like it ....but not as much as my badger brushes. The Men-U brush could almost make lather from a stone. My major problem is the rigidity of the bristle. The brush has a tendency to flick lather and water everywhere. Takes an awfully long time to clean the mess off the mirror!!

THis was my first time with a shave stick; probably my last, unless I can find a better way to lather. I felt the loss of the shave oil, this time... I should have oiled up for the second pass, once my brush was lathered...

I love this 1960 Fat Boy - what a great razor! I have it set on 4 and the shaves are really fantastic so far. First time using the Proraso Liquid post stuff - picked it up at Target yesterday. Not bad at all, but not as good as the Feather Kanwa. I'll save it for my "All Proraso Day" - this stuff will be in my rotation for the rest of my life I think...
