Thanks Swarden. I really appreciate all the advice. I haven't turned any of my buddies on to wet shaving yet, so it's nice to have such a responsive forum...for actual help or just to shoot the breeze. Thanks again.
My past two shaves with the Astra superior platinum have been great. I tried putting some of the Somerset's oil on as a pre shave this morning and liked the smell and cool feel. No irritation.
Good to know this. I've used a fine-tipped black sharpie & its held up rather well. Time to move up to the Testors....
