  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations - w/AP Shave Co. Cashmere 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Star Double Edge
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (2)
  • Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio - Soap
  • Post Shave: MW - Bay Rum - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Friends to the End - Balm

This razor is definitely more efficient than a Tech, at least with a Bolzano. I like it. Not too aggressive, either. Naturally I plan on doing a side-by-side shave to compare them one of these days.

I'm also tempted by such a razor โ€“ but who knows whether there will be ever imports towards the EU again ๐Ÿ˜ญ

At least it wouldn't have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz ๐Ÿค”

The Golden One has now heard about this place, but I guarantee you, he could not find it on a map. He would be able to find it if it were located at 80โฐ N latitude and above. Then it would appear large enough, and it would look like a great place to put a golf resort. He doesn't understand what a Mercator projection is, nor how it distorts a spherical surface. (Sometimes I can't help but go on a rant -- I'm only a little younger than the Golden One)

I can certainly stick one in the mail and see what happens ๐Ÿค“

There were some British made Star razors, too. They look identical.
