    Thanks for all info Iceni, I will definitely have a look at the products you explained, after I use up my current safety razor products. I have also given Neil Miller a Email so looking forward to his reply.

    A great looking set-up! A great reminder that just because someone is new HERE it doesn't mean they are new to wet shaving OR straight razor shaving.

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    Looks like you have everything but a strop

    You might also want to look into making a balsa paddle to use with Crox paste. It'll act as a blade refresher to be used infrequently when normal stropping no longer gives the desired shave.

    Your soap and brush will also blow all my suggestions out of the water. My suggestions were for someone who was wanting to get started.

    The macaroot from bodyshop is an excellent product and worth the money. I'm quite partial to the Ted Baker as well it's very different 3 squirts in the bowl should make enough for more than 3 passes. The other soaps while good are no where near the quality of that Trumpers.
