Ron, perfect timing on the Trafalgar shave!

Shaving with something called "butcher" gives me the creeps.

This was my first shave with a shave stick. Jury's still out on this one for me as to whether I like the shave stick format or not. I'm going to have to check with the "Professor of Lather" on a couple of technique questions before passing judgement. In the end, I had an extremenly close shave however! A+ . During the shave, I thought I was getting a little irritation but now I think it was just a little tingling from the peppermint.

Ron, perfect timing on the Trafalgar shave!

I hope you didn't think that purely a coincidence. Lovely stuff Trafalgar! No smell of the battle in one's nose after that SPLENDID fragrance.

The original version of the rose soap smells unbelievable, but boy did it disagree with my face. If anyone wants it, drop me a PM.

Ron, it's good to hear that the C&E soaps are good because the Sienna and Nomad shaving soaps are next on my hit list.

Greetings Gerald,
A rather amusing term was coined by HWSNBN, "faceturbation," verb int, the continual cheek rubbing practiced by wetshavers whilst admiring their handywork.

Hi RR,
A man of my word, you can see the Shavemac Seifenschaummeister after 4 passes with the C&E Sienna. Very fine lather!! Enjoyed dragging my Progress with Merkur PtInox over the ol' visage today very much.
