Nice one bud.
Managed to sneak in a little order there before lockdown.

Share some more pics of the razor when you have a chance bud.

Howsit everyone.
Happy Lockdown day 6 :-D
My new video is up.
Hope it helps anyone looking for a new brush or even just to help inform yous the difference between the brushes.
Also apparently Bundubeard is still up and running as they qualify as essential services.
Just confirm with Jaco though please , I dont want to be held responsible for delays.

Cheers you magnificent people.

That's a good looking Razor.
Let us know how the shave with it goes and which blade you used in her.

And a comp soap bar from our friendly neighborhood hero Jaco.

For the price this RazoRock Mission is great quality and the threaded handle screws into the top cap super smooth and to top it all off the handle (not top cap) is made from Stainless Steel so will last forever and more.

Definitely have a look at it if you in the market for a affordable good quality safety razor.
From what I've seen in terms of aggression/efficiency it's on the medium side and comparable to the the Merkur 34C.

You got the stand Uncle @Rob Fisher :headbang:
How are those shampoos Uncle Rob?
I love the body soap, smells amazing.

@Clouds4Days the shampoo's are awesome! I use them every second day. When you rinse your hair it squeaks it's so clean!

And the stand is operational and my fancy brush fits perfectly! Happy Days and Bazinga!

Dont forget to take some snap shots of your new shave station filled :)

I love that it has the little draws so you can store your blades inside.
 
How you getting packages Rob? I thought couriers were shutdown

I thought so too... just ordered it expecting delivery after shutdown... then ding dong today! Bazinga!

I have a largish parcel stuck at DHL in Durbs waiting for the lockdown to expire.

Some feedback about my experience with the new razor and brush.

I am really impressed with the Vikings Crusader Adjustable Razor. It is a very solid razor and the quality of the materials seem to be without compromise. A fairly heavy razor which took some getting used too but I now really enjoy the extra weight and length.

Using the Super Max Blue Diamond blades, my first shave was on setting 6 which is a medium according to the packaging. I then cranked it up to 8 which is aggressive and my last shave was all the way to max. I like the fact that I can get a very smooth shave in 2 passes but I never expected that I would go all the way to max.

The brush is soft but makes for great lather, even directly from the soap dish onto my face.

No buyers remorse and I don't think I will need to buy another razor for a while. I am very happy with my purchase.

Sounds like a awesome razor you have there, glad to hear you enjoying her.
I've been always been eyeing out those viking razors.

The badger brushes are definitely softer and work well to create a awesome lather.

I swop between the boar and badger depending on the soap. For hard puck soap I like using either but the boar works a little faster by digging into the soap a bit more than the badger.

But on softer soaps the badger is awesome.
