....or should I say 2,890 shaves!
I don’t know what happened all that time ago for me to cease using this forum - but I continued wet shaving.
Unfortunately, being in the Navy, I’ve moved around a lot. New bases, new ships, moving homes. This has resulted in my soap collection being put into storage/disappearing.
However, that was probably for the best as I’m a bit of a collector. If I had been active on this forum for the past 8 years I dread to think how much soap I’d have by now!
I’ll list my current shaving equipment for those who are interested;

Recently I have been getting by with The Body Shop’s Maca Root shaving cream, which is now running low. This prompted me to start looking for a new soap which inevitably led me back to Badger and Blade.
After a bit of looking around, and watching some YouTube reviews, I decided to pull the trigger on some Fine Snakebite and RazoRock Mudder Focker.
I used the Snakebite yesterday for the first time and wow was it refreshing in this hot weather we are having in the UK right now, exactly what I ordered it for.
Yet to try the Mudder Focker, but it smells divine!
A lot seems to have changed in 8 years, there seems to be a far wider variety of soaps available, lots of artisanal stuff on the market.... where to begin!
There’s plenty on my radar that I’m itching to purchase - my self discipline has been strong so far, I don’t want to go down that rabbit hole of buying more soap than I’ll ever use again but it’s only a matter of time before my purchases snowball, I know it!
Enjoy your shaves today gents, thanks for reading.
