I'd like to get into Jnats, but they're hugely expensive.

They don't have to be. I bought a Nakayama suits for around NZD120/AUD 100 with free shipping from Japan recently. It's not huge (around 140x40mm), but it can take a razor from bevel set to a lovely edge. It's pictured in the What did you hone today thread if you want a gander. PM if you want details about the seller.

Hi all,
I had a brilliant late night shave tonight after an early finish on night shift.
What better way to start the WA day long weekend than a great close and very efficient shave with the Apex SS.
Kaleb Aylsworth absolutely nail it with this DE razor I have not tried the TI version but you can read @Errol review if you haven't already.
The Apex SS is one of my favourites and I'm afraid I will have to say it.
I don't have or have tried a Gillette that is on the same level shave wise. (My opinion only)

The Razorock Mudder Focker is a nice soap with good cushioning and face feel with a pleasing scent to boot.
Very easy to bowl lather with the help of a wonderful Troy Craft custom brush fitted with a Muhle STF knot.
Finished of with a generous splash of Layrite Deluxe No9 Bay rum Aftershave.

One pass WTG/ATG no touch ups no nicks Done.....
Have a great weekend and a great next shave.
Cheers.
