Razors are like buses… wait for one then 3 arrive at the same time!

First Alpha order on 6th June, second on 12th

Blackbird ordered on 11th June (unexpected summer sale got me…)

I think the Alpha Spirit deserves a first run after a week in customs purgatory at Heathrow… looking forward to tomorrow already!

An order received today

A new generation Mitchell's shaving soap - I'm going to compare the two versions with and without tallow.

An unusual soap from DOVO - a masculine lemon scent - I love it - I'm a big fan of citrus fruits and lemons - I couldn't resist ...

Apart from that, I loved the packaging - everything is beautiful and recyclable

With a 20% discount from Portuguese Factory - they've sold out!

To be continued ...

Darn, what a coincidence. I've been looking for Schick blades for a while now.

Where do you buy them from? I had a 10 pack in the first Double Edge razor I bought two years ago (it was a Schick TTO razor), and I liked those blades, but could never find them to buy.

Someone told me the German Wilkinson & Sword blades are the same (not sure if that is true?)

I've had a reply from Wilkinson Sword re WS and Schick DE blades.
Wilkinson Sword is the brand name for the UK and Europe. Schick is the brand name for the USA, Canada, Australia, Asia and Russia. Both are made in Germany and are the same blades although some Schick blades are also made in the USA.

Thats really interesting. I have both and swear I can feel a difference between Schick and Wilkinson sword blades. .

Just to add to the confusion, you will find this listing on Schick Canada's web site.
