That's awesome! I did look them up on the Bay and was shocked at the prices! Are they really worth all that?!

 

Things are indeed well... Started a new job in April hence my lack of activity - becoming more adjusted and managing my time and workload a little better now!
How's the house?

 

Man... I miss being able to buy Palmolive for about 50p in Asda!

 

Have you actually tried this yet? If so, I'd be interested to read about how you got on

 

Thanks, gents!

Some razors require more thinking about the angle than others. Figure that out and you can get a great shave from all of them.

Me too....However, i bought a boat load of them from various places before they discontinued stocking them...I've actually seen them going for £.7.40p per stick on "The Bay". extortionate!

 

Thanks Jason but I don't want to win

 

The first one I did was on the smoker for three hours then 38ish hours at 155° in the sous vide.
This one will be 60ish hours at 135°, ice bath then on the smoker for a few hours.

@screw

That's madness! The Boots sticks are excellent, and they really don't cost all that much!
In all fairness, I mainly use Arko these days!

 

I find this to be very true. I also think that it boils down to being able to feel the cutting action and making those adjustments to the blade angle when it isn't cutting as it should.

 

I recently bought myself a Weber Kettle (Master Touch) and I'm really enjoying the whole grilling experience. I've discovered that a meat thermometer really does result in beautifully cooked meats.
I haven't done any low'n'slow stuff just yet, but I have done roasted chicken and potatoes for 70 minutes! They turned out beautifully!

 

Yeah, it's about finding the effective cutting angle and maintaining that angle throughout each stroke.
I get that there are people that aren't interested in adjusting their technique for a particular razor and that's fine but most of those people blame the razor.

I enjoy cooking, almost as much as I enjoy eating.

I'm much the same!
Made this last night:

Simple, yet delicious.

 

Been there and done that!

 

That does look delicious!

I think most of us have done that.

Razor: Merkur Progress
Blade: Wizamet (1)
Brush: Trotter Handcraft "Scoville"
Soap: Talbot Cades Cove
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Talbot Cades Cove
Fragrance: ???
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 977

One of my wife's FAVORITE places is Cades Cove in the Smokey Mountains. We've been thru it more times than I can count in a car, on a motorcycle and even hay rides. I have pedal biked it at midnight with friends when there was a full moon and had Black Bear and coyote run across the path as we were riding. Just a beautiful area and the most visited place in the Smokey's. So when I saw this set getting rleased I knew I had to get it even though I have been halting soap purchases of late and pairing down the inventory. The scent is described well as:

"So, this Cade’s Cove aroma embraces the ambience of the Great Smoky Mountains. This valley in Tennessee is represented by green grassy notes and honeysuckle on a woody, musky base."

This is a BEAUTIFUL scent and always a top level performing soap and splash. Just a great shave. The Bread Lame slice was reopened during the shave but settled down quicker than yesterday and will heal fine........eventually. Have an adventurous day Folks !

 

I like the Boots stick too...I also use Arko & Derby sticks, for performance & slickness both are amazingly good.
