Monday:

Crabtree & Evelyn Best Badger
Trumpers Almond Hard Shaving Soap
Gillette 40s Superspeed w/ Tesco Blade
Trumpers Extract of Limes Skin Food

Tescos are as good as advertised. I found the blade very similar to Swedish Gillettes, if a tiny hair less sharp. Very good shave. Thanks, Tony!

Funny, I have very little desire to use anything else, other than rotate between my two Rooney Finests.

Richard, "....very little desire to use anything else....", ummm...I don't know how long you can stick around here with that attitude...sounds a bit too sensible for this crowd, if you know what I mean ( chuckle ).
Monday:

Gillette HD Rocket & Swedish Gillette
Rooney Finest, Style 1, medium
Trumpers Almond shave cream
D R Harris's Pink A/S
Trumpers Spanish Leather

Very good shave, and very classic ( Trumpers Almond cream, their Spanish Leather, and Harris's Pink all being products that have been around for a century or more, in one form or another ).

There is a lot of repetition around here tonight. Competition for post counts? :lol:



Bruno, how did you like that Kent BK4 (I noticed in the last weeks SOTD thread)?

Richard, I have to stop looking at your nice reviews, they keep costing me more money. :wink: :wink:
The BK4 is an awesome brush, I can't believe I hadn't bought one up to now.
It is firm enough to whip up a great lather from a soap and is just as good with the creams.
You are right about the quality, this brush looks like it costs 3 times as much as it did. The bristle is even whiter than the one on my Rooney supers, which surprised me. I am surprised they only call it Pure Badger, it is way better than that. For the cost, I recommend it to newbies and pros alike, even for an only brush :shock: it would be good.
Thanks Richard. I guess we feed off each other's reviews. :wink: :wink:
