    Yup, Soap Commander, PAA/CK, Stirling, Wholly Kaw and I'll add Jeeves of Hudson Street and Barrister and Mann. I don't know what shipping would cost.
    I have one Razorock soap, one of the first soaps I bought. Been a long time since I used it, I think I'll use it tomorrow.

    Understood. I always read the questions carefully and provide thoughtful answers on surveys...just in case. You never know who's looking at them.

    My 2 cents would probably echo what others have already said. In general, if you see multiple pics of products on here, people like them. The group here generally wouldn’t bother with products they didn’t like or value (MAYhem excluded).
    In the UK, there are many well known and respected brands. In addition to Mitchells, Taylor’s and DR Harris are two that you can get at the previously mentioned Connaughts quite cheaply, if you just get a refill puck. Shaving.ie is another UK based website with good brands. Gifts and Care from Spain carries many of the American artisans others have mentioned and the shipping shouldn’t kill you from there.
    PS- I LOVE Palmolive- Classic and Menthol both!

    TGIF shave

    While I wanted to continue my Personna 74 test I could feel my straights were getting worried and maybe a bit jealous. I could feel their psychotic messages and they directed to this Riga Razor. Despite the sharp point, there was blood on the steel and it delivered an epic shave.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A+ Smoothness A+ Sharpness A+

    Razor: Riga Razor 6/8
    Strop: Dry Gulch Black Latigo
    Brush: Elite Razor Manchurian
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: SMN
    AS: Fine American Blend AS, Stirling AS
    Scent: YSL Rive Gauche

    Adjustable (Arko) Anything Goes and whatever else we decide AUGUST!!!!

    August 9


    Razor - Soviet Consul (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (9)
    Soap - Soap Commander Fortitude
    Brush - Stirling Pro Style Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    Well, I made it. Shaved and posted prior to midnight. Slow night on the ride shares after a busy run on the food end of things. I'm going out tomorrow morning to try GrubHub to see how it compares to DoorDash. It's a fun break from the rides, although running with food instead of people leaves little in the order of conversation. Food, however, is never drunk.

    The Consul wide open and the Personna 74 for the third time. Ninth time on the blade overall. Is it still smooth? Yep. Still sharp? Yep. Still delivered a near-BBS or better? Yep. Anything else to say about it? Nope. Soap Commander Fortitude is an awesome subtle scent. My wife agrees. Win/win.

    Have a great Friday and start to the weekend as it closes in on us!
