Classic Wet Shaving

[Raindance]

This morning's shave of two day stubble was bloodless and super smooth. Setting between six and seven.

What I really like about the full metal razor is that it retains heat nicely after a hot water rinse and I love that nice warm feeling against my skin.
Also got hold of some Prep today, forgot how nice it is to shave with that stuff.

Regards

Glad to hear you had a great shave @Raindance .
I love that feeling too, feels like I'm using a proper piece of equipment to shave and not a plastic toy like that of a cartridge

Got some lovely new soaps and after shave and blades incoming tomorrow, excited for that.

I will have enough soap now to probably last me 3 years trying to convince the wife I need them for reviews is becoming harder and harder

But I have learned a trick now I always try find something to add in the cart for her as a surprise , it seems to be working

Definitely, just waiting on some cash flow, then I’m in, both feet and beard!

Got some goodies today, international soaps, aftershave and some different blades.
Overall customer experience was great from River Valley, didnt feel as personal as dealing with Bundubeard though.

But if you wanna try out some international soaps they have a decent selection.
They have a web page but their store products are sold through BidorBuy.

Nice Uncle Rob, I haven't recieved shavemail in 3 days I think I need to order a bowl or something

Have you used the Minora blades before uncle @Rob Fisher if so how do you find them?

I haven't tried them yet but got a box in the Shave Den (Bathroom) to try .

Minora gives a lekka shave,but it also depends. They not all that sharp. That might also depends on the batch.

[Raindance]

@Clouds4Days the Minora was the first one I tried and it seems to work just fine... I didn't really need more but I wanted another bottle of the aftershave stuff and all the rest was padding for the shipment!

Awesome will be one I try next, also want to try the Wilkonsin Swords next, they seem to be very popular aswell.

So far I have tried Bic Platinum, Rockwell, Dorco ST300 and Feather.

In order of sharpness highest to lowest
1.Feather (love them)
2. Dorco (for me they shave a little rough)
3.Rockwell (a little too sharp on first shave, but 2nd shave onwards i really like them)
4.Bic Platinum a Medium Razor and really enjoy this one too.

My Top blades so far Feather when I want a super super smooth shave and the Bic they cut really smooth on the skin and can go at a bit more speed because they Milder.

That's a nice looking New Razor @Raindance . Would love to hear how she performs?

Sorbet Man has that range of shaving products, if I'm not mistaken I think it's a U.K based brand.

Nice uncle Rob.
Will try them out next and see how they fare to the others I have tried.

I had a Tin that used to house Biscuits I received during Christmas and now turned it into my Razor Blade Tin
Just to keep things a little neater.

Now you need a Bonza to match the shaver.

I think the Dorco is only good for the first two shaves.

Tried the BIC blades today. Waaaay too mild for me. But then again, i can remove automotive paint with my stubble
Rockwell is also very enjoyable.
So far Supermax Diamond works best for me.
But still have to try the Minora and Dorco
