Hello DFS - I'm a P&C member from Darwin Australia - Crocodile Dundee Territory
Like to think I started wet shaving over 40 years ago using my Dad's black beauty, Wilkinson Sword blades, and Palmolive stick before carts became popular
Seriously wet shaving for about 5 years started with a Merkur 37c then got a 39c and thought that was the "ants pants"
Have set the bar at equal to or better than Razor Rock Game Changer .84-P because for me this is the perfect all round razor ATM
Compatible with most blades, smooth and efficient no need for excessive buffing or high end blades to get BBS and can achieve DFS+ on single pass
Other razors are Timeless 0.68 SB - Scalloped Head, Apollo Light, Slants and A few vintage Gillette's incl. 66' Slim still buying, selling and trading most are catch and release
Weekend use a straight razor, honing my own and building a collection of various used quality straights
Used the same boar brush for over 3 years until it became soggy noodles, currently down the badger hole trying various knots and makers.
Have a preference for smaller knots <24mm and quick load and lather except on weekends when I take my time with a big thick luxurious badger and bowl to create a smooth silky yoghurty lather. Have 32 soap and aftershave sets from various artisans - like matching sets but have a few soaps from artisans that don't make aftershave
Recently got a US post box and mail forwarding service which has opened the USA market and some nice used 2nd hand gear from the US marketplace. Have to build up 10 posts on DFS so I can participate in BST thread and PM sellers
Name comes from first artisan set and still a favorite scent Dapper Doc
