I've received my razor from English, and I just have to say it looks to be in amazing condition, and truly a thing of beauty. Thanks, its obvious that you have shown great care for the Piccadilly, and I will do my best to treat it the same way.
The strop is on the way so I'm waiting till then to try out my first shave; however, I did receive my brush and soaps(honeybeespa sue-tried the Bay Rum tonight and the scent was fantastic) and aftershave so I took the opportunity tonight to practice making a lather. I found a great guide to follow and managed on the second try to make a decent lather, shaved and it was definitely an improvement for my skin over the cheapo gel-in-a-bottle, that is for sure. The aftershave was great too (Proraso).
The anticipation builds!
