I'm new to the DE world so every purchase I make is new, ha! Just bought a pre war tech. I also have a Falkland Era Tech coming as well. I'm stating with more "affordable" DE's for now. I'd love to find a vintage Fat Boy or Slim in the near future.
I have now three new SRs waiting for me at the local post office. Due to the WuFlu, the post office is closed and I am also forbidden to leave my house.
Just took advantage of the Bullgoose “quarantine” sale to give myself an excuse to buy their Royal Fougere soap and aftershave. I figured a nice spring sent was in order.
just got this bowel. put almost boiling water in it and lather it up. the lather on my face felt like a hot towel. the soap dries out quicker in the bowel though.
Back in January, during my two-week timeframe to buy anything shaving related, I finally bought an Above The Tie S2 Open Comb Slant DE razor. I had been thinking about that since 2014. So, I am not much into buying new anything. I also bought it with both the Kronos and Atlas handles since I wasn't sure which one I might prefer. Shorter and lighter or longer and heavier.
I have been using it daily since it arrived, as I want to take my time using it as it is very different from any other razor I have. I am thinking it really isn't for me, though. It is a bit too heavy, even with the smaller and lighter handle. I tried some other handles on it, but the head is too heavy for anything else and it becomes quite unbalanced.
I do prefer my Fasan DoubleSlant which I began using mid 2013. So, I expect I will switch back in the near future.
