I don't have many English items in my home and that's a shame. I most certainly should have more English razors. I'm still pulling all of my razors out and assessing what I have so I may just find some. I've been cleaning up about one razor a day so we'll see soon enough.

As far as this Tech goes. It's a no-brainer, easy-peasy, whisker whacker. I did a three pass shave including against the grain and legitimately achieved a bbs shave.

My new Yaqi synthetic is continuing to please me with its ultra soft tips. The sickness and scent of the Stirling soap are always top-notch. The witch hazel is new. I chose it because of the added menthol and eucalyptus. It's not strong by any means but it's a nice addition none the less. Last but not least, I threw on a healthy dose of some good ol' Aqua Velva Ice Sport. Nice alcohol sting and fresh scent to get my day started. Or at least get me to my first cup of coffee ?

Happy shaving gentlemen.
