Recycling past photo:
4th use of the Astra green blade. I think it’s had enough as isn’t cutting smooth.

The soap was squished back to cover the base of the tub 2 shaves ago and already can just about see the blue showing through the centre again. Not sure how much longer this will last. Maybe 2 weeks?

Semogue 1305,
Mitchells Wool Fat,
Yaqi OC/Ballend handle,
Feather,
Witch Hazel,
Viet Cheap'n' Smelly
First shave since Saturday so had a fair bit of growth to take care of.The Yaqi head and Feather handled the job with ease for a clean result after two passes.Still battling a lurgy that has been hanging around this area for a while,people have been getting crook,getting a bit better then crook again within a week.Probably some perpetually mutating bug from all the unwashed and unshaven f#cken ferals in Nimbin that they share via their unbrushed teeth and foetid breath in the hippie food shops drinking their soy milk dandelion coffees in Lismore which then gets spread to other communities.

How is the Storybook splash?

I was eyeing them up on maggards the other day and the splash says it's alcohol free so I guess it can be shipped here.

The "Hook" scent sounds awesome. The tea scented one sounds pretty interesting as well.

Yeah, I flicked them an email re: the Storybook aftershave and they confirmed that it can be sent internationally .

Declaration 'LQV' / M&F / Schick G Type Injector + fresh Schick blade / TOBS Sandalwood aftershave

Thought I would mix SEptember up a little with some Injector shaves.

These little beauties are often neglected on the forums, but give a fabulous shave. They are light, small and manoeuvrable but just because they feel like a toy doesn't mean they do not bite! Need minimal pressure as the injector blades are quite thick and super sharp. This one is a Type G, made from 1946-55. Great for the moustache area. I am sure that the cartridge manufacturers based their disposable razors on the size of the Injector razor. And carts are in effect a "single edge blade"

Three passes for a BBS and very enjoyable shave. ​

Another flawless shave with this combo. I thought I would get out the spring street given the glorious spring weather we had in Adelaide today.
