I'd like to use my Barmah-Hat again because of hot sun.
soap: Mitchell's
razor: Dewsnap

Tom,
It is a great, special effects, movie. Not much of a story line though...typical Hollywood today
Enjoy the sun and your hat...great looking piece
+ great looking shave gear too.

I dont know why, but I find it much easier. Even got a few patches I would call BBS

Excellent Grant . I love the name on that razor (maybe I like mutations). Sounds like an X-Men razor
...and congrats on experimenting with XTG/ATG shaves . One more try and I am sure the technique will be there, giving you smooth and comfortable shaves with any razor.
