I'd forgotten just how good the Slim and a great vintage blade can be. The 'old skool' Special Reserve is great too, or should that be two on TWOSDAY - 22.2.22 !!

The B/Lav is (IMO) by far the best Stirling scent I've tried. PM me if you'd like a sample, I've got lots and lots of it.

Your renos look exciting, but hard work. I went down that path 30 years ago, and told myself never again. Much easier to build from scratch... :rolleyes:

Mixing it up and put the Yaqi Grace Shave handle on the Henson Aluminium Head Plates.
Can I ask has anyone who has had or got a Henson found it feels like it drags some across the face when shaving

I had a Henson mild and had to move it on. I found it inefficient and the drag is a very common complaint. It may be due to the combination of anodised finish which feels a bit like a clear coat, and the relatively huge contact area; which creates a lot of surface tension.

And cheaper….. but the house is on the pick position on the block and it’s amazing how some decent size windows enhance a view. The builder has to keep compensating for things being out of level and out of square but nothing that’s required major unplanned rebuilds yet.

No. I can’t finished the last bit leftover of my coffee, because, there was so much heavily stink coming out from the SOTD topic, so I quickly put on my gas mask to investigate where that bloody stink coming from and it was…. YOU!!!!

Shame

I hope not, except for Red Lead which I was a bit disappointed in, I really like their soap and fragrances.
