Shave of the Day Thread - 2023

[Gargravarr]

Thanks… I hate bloody shaving cream.

Some are good. The fabulous Castle Forbes "cream" is really a croap, just a bit softer than, say, Stirling, while the St James of London creams are really excellent at a price that's very easy on the pocket.

Note pin prick where bottom of tin is showing through and it is very translucent?
Hoping to have a doughnut by end of week and the aftershave only has a couple of splashes left in it

You already have a doughnut. Hole in round object = torus or doughnut. All you're doing from now on is making the hole bigger. Give it a year or so...

So your razor comparison shows that LPL wins?
