@Nanook - agreed. They are spot-on for travel, and the soft dimples create lather in no time.

Mine has also been used as an emergency water-bowl for the dogs. I don't mind sharing. :LOL: I have an old friend from Uni who well and truly topped that, however, he's used his Akubra for that purpose. I left unsaid that that's possibly the best use for an Akubra... :rolleyes:

I've had a bit of a run on the Castle Forbes over the last few days. CF doesn't seem to get much love at P&C, (I guess it is pretty expensive) but it's a favourite here. A return to the Super for now. A bit harsh to start with, but you can't argue with the results.

Dedication Shave to My Father’s Birthday:

Today’s shave is dedicated to the memory of my father, he would have been 99 today. I’m using Dad’s Old Spice mug to soak my big Omega Boar brush, Tabac Legacy soap and the TRC AL razor. The reason I’m using the TRC instead of an antique razor is my Dad enjoyed engineering topics and would have been intrigued by the way razor utilises the Stainless Steel alignment pins.

I'm always surprised how well this printed razor shaves.

I know the printer razor is very light like a bloody cartridge razor, but, I find that the shave would be very skipping without any weight at all and needed to apply a bit of pressure can lead towards razor burn on your face.

Please tell us how the shave feels like on your face.

It is indeed light but on a day or two's growth it is not a problem. Today's shave was after 5 days and you are quite right it started a little Skippy. I just took short strokes and probably subconsciously added pressure, it got through it pretty easy with no burn. The second pass was super smooth and left me with great finnish. The SE with a Gem blade probably suits my technique but it does always surprise me how well it works.
