Result: Well.. With a view like that, it was certainly my best shaving experience so far. Slightly cool breeze from the sea a 1000 meters down the hill. The distant sounds of the birds, lizards and who knows what from the forest. No cars, no talking, no urban noise pollution. Just me and the razor in the jungles of Cambodia.

What type of razor box is this? I have been looking for something like it but have been coming up empty in my searches...

This is my second shave of the day post. This is a bit delayed as this shave was roughly 4 days ago... Yup, Thursday. I took the photos days later as I managed to get some time at a studio to take some photos (of other things as well as razors... Here's the lowdown:

Location: Singapore
Razor: Wade and Butcher 13/16 Heavy Wedge
Brush: Horn Badger Brush (Stolen temporarily from my father)
Cream: Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad (not as nice as the Knize I have been using but was the only thing available at the time)
Aftershave: Taylor's of Old Bond Street Sandalwood aftershave balm - I love this even more than Trumper's Sandalwood Skinfood



Result: Nice and smooth, bbs only on my neck as this is the only place I manage to get it at the moment. Oh and it's the first time I am using a razor with a smile with great results. Yay.

This is my third shave of the day post - Yesterday in fact.

Location: Singapore
Razor: Palmer spike point 5/8 full hollow ground
Brush: Horn Badger Brush (Stolen temporarily from my father)
Cream: Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad
Aftershave: Taylor's of Old Bond Street Sandalwood aftershave balm

Result: Best so far! This is my first razor I ever got. Beginning of this year when I start shaving. I recently got it back after cleaning - some rust manifested itself in the pins and subsequently around them on the blade. First after a good honing and I must say that it just feels more comfortable and easier to maneuver than anything else I've used. Must be because I am more accustomed to it and started with it. I prefer spike points to round points and have not heard myself with them (yet?), easier to move around and get those places that seem slightly more difficult with a round point. Great relaxing shave.
