I was impatient so made an order via evilbay as I couldn't resist trying the R95 but would love to see B&B stock it + set as the brush looks super sexy!

congratulations mate!!

 

[Razor Burn]

my humble opinion is it is the BEST razor I have used so far (including the Timeless and WR2)

I don't think you could get a better endorsement than that @Pbgoose!

 

[StratMan]

Lol 'interweb', yes I know what it is being in ICT but I just don't hear it that often from my colleagues or others.

Sent a query to B&B to see what our options are, also asked about the set with the brush as another option.

To be really serious we'll need to get some committed numbers and hopefully local individual shipping included. Batch shipping during Covid is not going to work.

even though I have the r94 & r95 I want a birch handle too, so I’m in for sure

 

[Razor Burn]

You have convinced me, so thank you again for sharing your experience. Really think a Brich Rocca group buy is on the cards. I'm in!

I think @StratMan is too blame as he converted me to the Rocca and after enjoying the R94 so much it was only natural I'd follow @Mark1966 and grab the sexy R95! Looking forward to seeing your thoughts once it lands in your den.

 

[StratMan]

Looking around the interweb there didn't appear to be many options selling the R95 version so I bit the bullet and went with connaught shaving as they offered a decent price and convenient shipping. If we could convince B&B to get some in it would be well worth a Group buy...

I shouldn’t be looking cos I know how having a look ends, but went to Connaught shaving anyway and thankfully for me the birch was sold out

out of curiosity if we buy from at uk site are we exempt from vat?

Pre-shave: Hot Shower
Brush: WCS - Honeycomb 26mm tuxedo
Soap/Cream: Declaration Grooming - Persephone
Razor: Timeless 0.95
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (9)
Post-shave: Declaration Grooming - Masacre of the Innocents AS splash / Murphy & McNeal - AS Balm

2 pass + touchups = DFS. Wizamet blade has had its last shave. Although still smooth, the sharpness has dropped off enough to loose considerable efficiency in the shave. Soap scent official, Amber, cardamon, Oakmoss, Amyris, sandalwood, pomegranate. Complex scent and interesting. I pick up the Amber, Sandalwood, oakmoss, cardamon. I am sure I smell vanilla, although not officially mentioned. I like the scent, it's sweet, dark, and spicey.

@rhodes96 was going to ask the same thing. I have the reptile green one and find it softer than my other tuxedos.

9x shaves out of a Wizamet Super Iridium, you can do better than that!
Personally use cheaper moderns and flick then after 5x.

I’ve been reading other feedback from another forum saying it a bit floppy

out of curiosity (and yes its just curiosity..........maybe not) how do you get the right amount in your cart ie without the VAT amount.. and whats the discount code ?

 

[EJ_DE98]

VAT is usually removed during the checkout process after you enter an Australian address

 

[tullfan]

I cannot understand how some overseas companies charge G.S.T.
Do they pass it on,what benefit to them?
Maybe they keep it?
