Their Truffitt stuff is definitely more expensive, so with the 40% "offer" it really isn't an offer. Still not bad prices though

The T&H no.10 range has gone up to high street prices, also no more free shipping at £10.Glad I stocked up
Sad times!
I ordered an iKon Stainless Slant head today, it will probably take a couple of weeks to arrive.
If i prefer the shave with that to my 37c, the 37c will be sold on with my 34c and R41 '13 shortly.
I prefer my Fatip to the R41 and my Weber DLC and Weber Polished make the 34c redundant.

Got a Gillette Superspeed/fatboy/slim adjustable you'd like to sell me?

the 34c isnt aggresive enough for me, it really is too forgiving. I cut myself with the muhle r41 last friday by underestimating the beast

Sorry, i'm keeping all my vintage razors for the time being
I know everyone is different, but i'd skip the fatboy and slim and just buy a Merkur Progress (short), that is a much nicer shave IMO.
Actually i'd skip the Progress and go straight to a Digress or Mergress, haha!
I'm tempted to have my Progress upgraded to a Digress at some point.
I know what you mean, although i get a good shave with all my razors, with some i don't need to concentrate at all during the shave, others need respect.

Hmm, interdasting. Much to ponder!! Darn you
haha, there are so many to try!
Superspeed wise my favourites are an English Red Tip Rocket/Superspeed (Rocket below covered in soap scum) and an English HD500 Rocket (also called a #59 in a different case). They all have a nice weight and are nice quick shavers.
I used this stuff tonight (green bottle = Skin Bracer, clear bottle = Witch Hazel)

Nice! Those de-cantered bottles look brilliant. Where did the clear one come from?
Why not go straight to a Vision? Did anyone get one in the Mankind sale? Missed out on that one.

The silver cap one is a Speick splash bottle, the green cap one is a Proraso splash bottle. I use a printer ink refill syringe to fill them, so no spillage.
My 3x Floid aftershaves live in these splash bottles (Clicky), the cashier probably though i was mental buying 3, but i emptied them at the end of the garden. No Foxes for a few days!
I dont like the look of the Vision, the head looks too big to me. sizes

I've often wondered this too, although I have heard that you have to show them a little more respect.
I think the slant is to allow the user to get a really close shave when he wants it?
Tried this recently. Great price. I don't like the smell though - it's a bit swimming pooly; gets up my nose a bit. But it leaves the skin feeling very fresh and it's definitely worth a try.
Also, the thread title still needs changing!
Ingram is the business in this weather.

Pros:
Natural ingredients.
Big menthol kick.
One of the best for post shave feel, probably down to the lanolin.
Made in Surrey.
Fairly cheap. £1.75p from superdrug
Light old school scent. (menthol with a touch of lemon, think Proraso without the eucalyptus)
Cons:
Prone to separation, possibly a due to a lack of heavy emulsifier/surfactant. Give it a shake and the water mixes back in easily enough.
A bit harder to lather than creams/soaps containing foaming detergents, especially with hard water, but get the water/cream ratio right and it's very good.
Amount of cream needed, which is almost double something like Palmolive/RS. (Who cares! It's cheap enough)
Conclusion:
A national treasure, try it out now! (unless you hate menthol

It got changed by the mods a while back and I can't change it back. Pathetic nerd humour fail I guess
(let them have it).It gives the blade a scything action due to the angle and the twist on the blade.
They are very efficient razors but also mild, just a different type of shave to the solid bar and open comb razors really. Normally favoured by people with a heavy beard but sensitive skin.
I wanted a 3 piece head so i could use it on my heavy handles.
My 34c HD, 37c and Weber Wave stainless handle are currently up for sale on the shaving room.
