@StratMan
Second use of BIC astor in blackbird and the shave wasn't as close as with the chrome platinum.

I'll be skipping the astor. Thought I should let you know in case you're considering buying them. Try a tuck if possible, but avoid a hundred pack.

Finishing off this very generous sample today. I'm not particularly da menth head, but this soap should be approachable for just about anybody. It does have a very pervasive scent though, it managed to escape through two ziplock bags to inhabit my entire soap drawer.

Thank you @Mycroft47 as @Gargravarr mentioned Dion Curnow (@Substance) from https://www.dcblades.com/ has donated amazing custom razors to P&C Charity Auction and we will hopefully see another of his custom creations this year.

Here are details from the auction:

"This auction is for a DC Blades 8/8” P&C TKM 2020 straight razor and matching brush. The razor is made out of Bolher O1 tool steel & ground to full double hollow with special etching on spine. It included DCBlades made custom resin wedgeless scales, brass bullseye washers & pins. The matching hand turned resin brush handle comes with a choice of 24mm Silver Tip Badger bulb knot (as shown in some pictures) or a Synthetic Tuxedo bulb knot. All items were hand made by DCBlades in Australia except the bullseye washers and knots."
