Use with caution, Shaun. My face felt as if it was on fire before completing the first pass with St. Barts.

I also ordered some of this and I’ve just remembered your warning about the burn that you mentioned in an earlier post. Doh!

Finally received my tub of Sunny Lane from B&M via Maggards — took forever — before leaving for the mountain for the weekend. Two shaves with it now and I can’t figure out why you passed yours on, @Holyzeus — must hit my top three right away on scent basis. Plus, performance is up there, too.

Could just be me, of course, and no issues with yourself. It was, unquestionably, the worst soap I've ever used, and that includes Petal Pushers Fancy Bay Rum which I thought at the time was horrendous.

I think I might've gone mad.
I'm replacing one brush (possibly two) with four.
The Simpsons Trafalgar T3 arrived already (and it's lovely, should be a 26 but I measured 30mm), still on the way are Frank Shaving black 28mm G4 synth, dscosmetic 30mm Tuxedo and the PAA Green Ray (24mm).

So because we will probably not go on holiday this year we redid our bathroom( mostly my dad i only helped him)

A couple of parcels.... the long overdue CG Level 3 SS and mutton tallow Stirling. I've heard it's the better base in the range.

For me, the mutton tallow base is better than the beef tallow base.

I'll use, tomorrow, Stefan. Never had a bad shave with the beef formula.

me too - except the one I had smelt like a day-old baking tray after it's been used to roast a fatty lamb joint

Yes I think the Muttow tallow Stirling base is a step up on the Beef Tallow as well, particularly in post shave.
