That's good news. Thanks man!
Razor mail arrived this morning. Just in time to get rid of a scratchy 3 -day stubble. Have used the DE years ago and seemed I remembered the angles and strokes. Lovely smooth shave!
But what was totally awesome was using the brush and real soap. Previously only used the whipped cream can stuff. “Painting” and massaging with the brush just feels so much better! All in all, very happy!

Some great supply's you got there @Asterix . I agree applying the lather using decent soap and brush definitely is a big step above using the can stuff.
I would even urge folk that dont wanna try Traditional wet shaving for what ever reason (that only God knows) to at least use a decent soap and brush to lather up.
Man all this "Shave Mail" is amazing....
Cant wait to get home to get my "Shave Mail" and catch a shave

Men and the shaving ritual! Been following this thread with interest.
My skin has become so sensitive. Even the modern 5 blade razors leave me red rashed. Then tried a safety razor (with soap and brush), but that was a total massacre.
Tried many electric shavers over the years, but none worked for me.
For the past few months I have just been using a hair clipper. Not a smooth shave by any stretch of the imagination, but acceptable nowadays. And no rash or nicks.
All that said, this thread still has me sorely tempted (to HRH's consternation). Specially like the Feather SS shavette.

Rob, I love that if there is something to do, you do it PROPERLY! May you always be able to do so and enjoy it!!
The FS will eventually become "Fisher's Shave"
Do you use an alum block after a shave? If not, try it!
Shave mail!!! Will only be trying it tomorrow night but definitely looking forward to it! Awesome service from Boendoebaard!!!
Just a question, I have a small mole on my neck, will this razor shave it off and cause me to bleed to death?

Someone should maybe tell Jaco to have a look at this thread, whether he vapes or not
I used the alum block today for the first time and I think it helped!
Hi @Andre ,
I would advice to maybe look at the Rocwell 6C Safety Razor it has 3 diffrent plates that come with the Kit each side of the plate has a setting so essentially you have 6 settings.
With these settings you can set how mild or aggressive you want the safety razor to be.

Alternatively you can ask Jaco from bundubeard for advice he will have much more knowledge on his product range and shaving than I.
Hi @ShamZ I picked one on my last order and slight improvement but .
I think one issue I have and only picked up recently is the bottom part of neck hairs grow upwards so I have been shaving ATG (Against the Grain) instead of WTG (With the Grain) on that part of my neck because of the direction my hair grows.
Yes that is the DE1. Looks good and feels sturdy. So shiny
Shave Mail 
Ive ordered 1 today. Cant wait to try it. Ive heard it does amazing stuff on ones skin.
It does help and your skin heal and seal up any small Nick's you get.
Also burns like a Mother
I've always had that problem with a rash on my neck. At one stage it looked like full blown measles. And a curly beard didn't help either. What helped for me was a hot shower. Leave the shaving foam on for about a minute or 2 to soften up the beard. Shave as normal and then I used Nivea Sensitive Balm. The only thing that helped. Aftershave was a big no. The alcohol just didn't work well with my skin.
But nowadays I'm happy with my beard. Wife bought me some beard oils and goodies for Christmas. So I'm morphing more into my hipster form. I even looked into mixing my own oils. Doesn't look too difficult.
Bro you got mad skills,make one!
Lekker shave this evening and no rash
I did something right
All I changed was-
1.I used a pre shave soap before hand. (Softens the hairs and helps razor glide over skin to prevent friction)
2.I used my new 37C slant Razor (which cuts more like a guillotine when cutting the hairs)
3.I used a Feather Blade (sharper blades)
4.I cut my neck area WTG (with the Grain) first which is upwards for me.
Now I got a winning combo but would still like to determine what was the winning trick.
Next shave will use a Normal Safty Razor and use everything else and technique as this evening and see if no rash appears again.

Hot towel or hot steamy facecloth held onto problem area before shave works wonders.
After shaving warm facecloth no soap and wipe areas two or three times.
As for after shave.
Nivea face cream with a few drops of aftershave. Rub between the hands and then onto shaved areas.
This takes longer to rub into your face,but masage it in till it disapears.
