26th shave in May with a modern-day razor, today with a Carbon CX in copper, From a run of 26, this is number four. Fantastic razor, and beautiful.

Hey Mr T, or Mr Big!

What do you think of the Strangelet blades? I don't want to start a derailing, so if you posted elsewhere, point me there! Thank you!

Hey Yooper, you can call me T. A tuck of Strangelet blades was given to me by Youtuber Matthew, I never would have bought them myself. They are a smooth, comfortable blade but not quite sharp enough for me. IMHO there are many better blades out there for less money. I don't consider them better than an Astra SP which costs half as much.

Thanks, T, I appreciate the honest feedback. The write up on the site is typical PAA (ie, fun to read) but reviews are all over the place. Your comments are very helpful.

Sorry for the hand getting cut. Been there done that. And will probably do that again!

True fact: the wife told me that if I keep cutting myself- all by accident, mind you- she'll make sure I go back to using Harry's razors!

Please heal quickly, @azion1995

Thx!

I noticed them too and assumed they must be a rebranded version of some other blade - perhaps one among many rebranded versions.

Last night’s shave

Pre-shave: hot shower
Lather: Col Conk Unscented, face-lathered
Post-shave: face wash with shave binky

Two, steep passes (WTG and ATG) and I was close enough for the win! Shaved 18 minutes off the clock, too.

Rex Ambassador today, 2 highly efficient and enjoyable passes. Almost BBS.
It's been my first outing of CF Lime SC. A very pleasant scent and one of the few lime scents out there which doesn't remind of a cleansing product. I still have to find the perfect product /water ratio with this cream, however, I highly enjoyed the shave with it.

It's a present which my family gifted to me yesterday, Father's Day

Happy shaves!

I keep forgetting to post, but here is today's shave. It was my first time using Macduff's soap. It's pretty slick and it's a great post shave feel!
