New Arrivals At The Shave Cave

Fatip Grande Gold razor / Arko shaving soap

Take a look at what arrived on my doorstep over the weekend. This rather handsome, square-jawed gent of a razor:

I know. Impressive. Almost, but not entirely, a case of buying it purely for its looks. It wasn't just for the looks, though. I'm not that shallow.*

I've grown rather fond of open-comb razors of late. And not only is this an open-comb razor, but it's also got a short handle with rather nice knurling, which points the way right up my street.

And it's gold.

Also, this arrived over the weekend:

I've never tried it before and thought it was about time I did. Also, I'm going through my stocks of Taylor of Old Bond Street coconut-scented shaving cream and my Bluebeards Revenge shaving cream at a rate of knots and I've been looking for something cheap that I can use every day, more or less, and not have to break the bank. So I'm going to give it a go.

Right. As you were.

* I am that shallow.
