The one that seems good is this one, although I'm not really into boar brushes

This was my gateway boar brush. Enjoy your shaves @Randy

It's bad enough when the postal service plays football with your package and smashes it to bits,this on the other hand was totally avoidable imho,bottle should've been sold sealed with a separate atomiser to be fitted on opening,lost about 15ml,ruined the label and box was sodden,bought from Anticatura,Anul is submitting a claim.

First time for Lord blades. Read good reports for these and at £7 for 100, nothing much to lose.

We await your report, David. I’ve only tried Lord Platinum Class blades. If they’re anything similar, you’re in for a treat.

Just returned from the local pharmacy where this caught my eye. I haven’t tried the stuff in nearly 50 years, so I figured for $5, why not?

Made my face itch - but I liked the old school smell.

Three shaving related boxes were waiting for me when I got home.

The Blackland Blackbird isn't mine but it would be rude not to use it

Charlie, I've used a Silver Star blade for three consecutive shaves. First shave was far from the smoothness I'm used to with GSB, Perma-Sharp or Minora. Sharpness was definitely there. Second use was an improvement in both metrics with third shave likewise. It's a decent blade, but, for me, no Russian made GSB or GPS replacement.
