That's good to know.

Hampshire Wool Fat the other hand is a joy to use right? For me at least it definitely is.16 days and 16 shaves in.
The DSCosmetic D8 looks stunning but its corners are stupidly pointy. I'd love to love it but it just isn't very comfortable - even my humble Lord L6 shaves much better

Doctor who*?Dr Tantra knows her stuff!![]()
I am sure that googling Doctor Who isn’t exactly a good idea either.* I refuse to google that. NSFW.![]()
Nobody had a comment after somebody said "after you master GIMP" about 10 pages back. I figured I'd be better off not cracking a joke since everybody else took the high road.In!

Still in and going strong here.....I know I'm late checking in, but I'm still on track. Here is today's shave.
Slimboy Friday morning shave (rated 10/10) using:
View attachment 1978581Excellent two-pass shave with touch ups to get BBS. I used the #5 setting on the two primary passes (WTG/ATG) and #3 on the touch ups. The Tabarko is a super easy soap to lather and apply with above average slickness and cushion. The Derby is still going strong. The RR 400 was fantastic as always.
- Razor: Birth year 1961 G4 Gillette Slim
- Blade: Derby Premium with Chromium-Ceramic-Platinum-Tungsten and Polymer coated edges (5)
- Brush: Razorock 400 Silver Noir Plissoft (fantastic)
- Pre-shave: Noxzema
- Soap: Tabarko frankensoap (5/3 Vegan Tabac/Arko)
- Post shave: Thayer’s Coconut Witch Hazel followed by Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood splash and Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood balm

Happy shaves everyone![]()
