I don't currently own a SR; i use DEs almost exclusively. I have wondered about a SR but stopping it has always put me off so i thought id try a Shavette to see if it bridged the gap but im no sold at the moment.

So, Sunday just gone was my first shave with a shavette. Not a bad experience but i don't see how i could do a 2/3 pass with it YMMV though. The video is up and any advice ect would be greatly appreciated.

A Review and quick shave with Boots own brand blades. I am fairly certain that they are the same as an Israeli/Red Personna. Enjoy:

As the title suggests, Obsessive Soap Perfectionist seems to be back making and trading again. For us in the UK, this is particularly good news as OSP make some of the the best shaving soaps and scent combinations. Their website is back up and showing good stock levels too. Products - OSP In...

Thanks for the advise. I'll try it out and put a video together with what happens

So, this is almost a 2 part video; firstly a reminder to myself that going back to some of the first kit in your den can get amazing results even if it is 'basic' compared to new purchases and secondly, my first time and review of Cella shaving soap. Hope you enjoy.

Just back from Milan, here are a few thoughts and a quick before work shave, hope you enjoy.

Just as the title says, first time using an open comb DE razor. Felt very different to the closed comb's i've been using. I don't think i could use an open comb daily though obviously YMMV. Anyone use an open comb daily?

So, I never realised how much a brush can change your opinion of a product or, that you could become so attached to a particular brush. I've experienced it with razors but this is the first time i've experienced a brush i never want to loose.

Having put together a video of my 'Do's and Don'ts' for those thinking about starting to use a DE Razor i wondered what advise do you have now that you would have given yourself/ others at the start?

It probably says that I’ll use them a few more times with different razors and creams and update with a catch-up video. Or That whilst they’re great blades, YMMV and my face may not suit them. It wouldn’t be the first time my face has suited something/ someone

Just full shave review of the Polsilver blades. Sharp but no quite as smooth:

Yeah, im pretty luck with DR Harris, Trumper's and TOBS all being a short tube ride away

Here is a quick, full shave review of Abschaum Shaving Soap made by Rumble 59. I use their Pomade and it is really good with an amazing scent so this soap court my eye. Really lovely sea breeze sent and a close but slick shave. I would highly recommend it.

Hello all, I've posted 2/3 times but i wanted to say hello and introduce myself properly. I started using a safety razor about 4 months ago and haven’t looked back since. This forum has been really helpful pointing me in the right direction. I’m based in a London, England and have been quite...
