I was wondering if these $5 ones failed the QC checks at the same factory? Someone has picked them up to clear for not much.

Could very well be the case.
Although Yaqi sells the heads for about $10 shipped and they are perfect, so not sure what's going on.

Not much variety recently so haven't been posting SOTDs.

Proraso green
Proraso (Omega)boar brush
Rockwell 6s plate 4 with Rockwell blade.
APR Festivus splash.

The 6s is a dream to drive, haven't cut myself with it once. Plate 4 seems to be the sweet spot for my daily shave. At times I stretch it to a third pass but mostly 2 pass DFS. Shaves recently have all been excellent. Just gotta achieve.my goal of destroying this Proraso tub... I swear I have had over 70 shaves from this puck....

@Pbgoose never thought I'd see you using a non goose soap. Pity PAA labels wear off so quickly.

With the resurgence of warm weather in Melb it's one last chance to crack out the summer favourites.fresca is my absolute favourite but my set is getting low mostly the soap and I don't know what to replace it with might have to put a wanted add up for more but not really liking my chances.i will continue to enjoy it while it lasts.
