What razor/blade did you use today

[Euro_Lander]

Of course you can buy Alpha brushes etc in the Eurozone - some wholesalers buy from other wholesaler/Importers.

eg. Smaller EuroZone wholesalers buy American shaving gear from the two northern Italian wholesalers/importers ( not referring to Alpha brushes here )

I can get Blackbird, ATT , Henson,Ikon razors here .

Like I said buying outside the €_Zone is a no no with me.

Customs, V.A.T , P&P and the annoying delays .

Try yourshaving.com Cadiz , Spain for Alpha products - they have some of their items in stock.

Hi Chard,

Love the look of that handle.

Are they pre-darkened/painted from the factory? Or is this grime from your dirty fingers?

Hey, thanks for asking. No, they are not pre-darkened from the factory, and neither from my dirty fingers too... it's called natural developing patina...in fact, mine is not so much patina because I do polish it occasionally.

Razor: Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 Knurled handle
Blade: PolSilver Super Iridium (4)
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Lather: Stirling Soap Co Naked & Smooth
Aftershave: Cold water rinse

No cuts, No irritation, close and smooth. A pleasant and DFS shave. This blade has a nice blend of sharpness and smoothness. The efficiency of the combo is very nice. I should have recycled this blade after the third shave.

Kai in a copper carbon Cx. Fantastic shave. Really like the beauty of how this razor is aging. Unlike myself.
