  1. Excellent shave and post, Danny! Kudos for your persistence with the Durham carpet blade, but I think it may prove fruitless.

  2. Yup. I used the Star Bakelite the last couple of morning's. I don't get much blade feel but after my usual three passes same results as any of my other razors.

  5. You may be right on the blades. It is such a shame because the Dorset is built amazingly well and confortable in the hand. I have a couple of barber's hones that I might give it a go and see what happens. Another possiblity is using a modified de-splined hair shaper blade. Take care my northern buddy!

    Maol Grooming Heliopteris - wow, what a great scent! I'm sorry that I ignored his products for so long, especially as a fellow Canadian

  10. Awesome setup Mark!
    Having great shaves? No need to change!
    Awesome shot Jim!
    Great shave Perry! The B1 is a great razor!
    Beautiful shot and great shave Joseph!
    Sounds good, John!
    Great picture Danny! See if you can find some of the Personna pathology blades for it. They work a little better then the carpet slitter blades, but don't be expecting a miracle.
    great shave!

    I like a good focus, but I'm enjoying grabbing whatever off the shelf this month as well. Hadn't used either this soap or the NEW SC in quite some time. Whipped up the usual, quality Jeeves lather and had 3 pleasant, smooth passes. Felt a little sandpaper on the jawline which was quickly removed before the excellently scented Splash. A nice start to the day.
    Have a great day, all!
