The invasion that seems to be going on with the British made Gillettes lately. The Rocket seems to be the Razor of the month. Quite a few have found new homes so let's let them be seen!
(Pic borrowed from Marty. Hope that is OK.)
So without further delay the ISD for April will be on Monday April 2nd 2007.
Razors - Rockets
Cream - Trumpers or Truefitt or Taylors Just make sure it is a Limey scent!
Blades Tescos or Boots
Brush Any English Brush. Simpsons/Rooney/EJ/Kent you get the picture.
After Shave - Hopefully something to complement the Cream from above.

Just a themed shave. Nothing required or manditory. Everyone using a similar setup and maybe trying something they wouldn't usually think of or pull out of the display case except for special occasions. I personally have gotten to try a few of the exotic blades and some of Sue's stuff that I would never have really thought about if it weren't for ISD. Perhaps the theme isn't to your liking this month. PM me or post some suggestions about what you would like to see. This month is a direct idea from Tim(nodaktim) probably should have posted that in the inital announcement.
Come to think of it, Richard, yeah, I did. And you know what? I still don't get it. I didn't get the Harmonic Convergence when it happened, either, and to me, ISD seems like the Harmonic Convergence of shaving - one day where all guys use the same products in the hopes of producing a global awakening of peace and love in the shaving community. But that's just me. I realized after I made the above post that I had accidentally clicked on the SOTD forum, which I typically avoid like the plague. So really, I guess I had it coming.
Much like Gordon, I think I have this one handled!
As a bonus, I shall be using a British face...
Give us the luxuries, and we will forgo the necessities.
Give a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.
Set a man on fire, he'll be toasty for the rest of his life.

Aw...dang! I don't have THAT one covered. Do they stock them at TGS? Are they very pricey, do you think?....and then there's those shipping fees...ummm. Maybe someone who has an extra could help me out here....

I see an entrepreneurial opportunity here Tony.
StGeorge's Royal Shaving water...
What a great idea ...I'm surprised nobody else has come out with that yet. I have actually heard of people using bottled water to shave with due to water quality issues.
