@dc68, I know what you mean, sometimes the “like” button doesn’t seem appropriate.
I think it’s why I love TOBS Sandlewood scent, reminds me of Brylcreem also, but mostly reminds me of the scent in the bathroom when my Dad was shaving.
Sadly I was too young to be given any shaving guidance, but did start off with a DE and struggled for a few years with Wilkinson Sword blades, as Dad swore by them, not realising blade brand differences, only to give up and go to cartridges.
My recent return was prompted by Sainsbury’s (yet again) not having the menthol King of Shaves gel in, prompting me to remember how I much preferred the brush and soap puck from years before (even though I was using it drastically wrong).
I got home to Google wondering if they still existed and found a wealth of businesses solely dealing in DE shaving, a video by Brian of The Executive Shaving Company tutorial on how to DE shave and this wonderful forum.
Six months in with no looking back and had my best shave yesterday BBS with a Shark Super Stainless (kindly donated to me by
@Wayne (sorry waynetta) on its third outing in my Tech (£9 on eBay).
I know this malarkey is going to cost me a hell of a lot more than it has so far, but for the moment I am concentrating on technique and consistency.......though soaps are building........and I fancy a 23mm synthetic........and a Blackbird.......and .........
