Traditional Pocket Knives & Safety Razors (old school please)

[Jack Black]

Thanks Jack! Most of my razors look like a soapy mess....but working tools, good job they're not carbon Yeah, TOBS seem all over the place more's the pity....tried the Almond, weak thin no scent. Then the new Cypress one, very expensive-more than the others, need a lot to get lather and rather than cedar wood it smelled like toilet cleaner! No thanks at nearly 15 quid a pot plus delivery!

Horrible! I thought that about the Almond too, and the new Lime, I find has a chemical smell. I expect they'll cock-up the Coconut at some point

I think Merkur still make carbon blades!

Will Power and DelOro really hate to hear that TOBS has changed formulas. I've always been fond of their Sandalwood but haven't bought any in quite awhile. Guess I'll use what I have left very sparingly. My daily go to is either Tabac or Baumbe. While I enjoy occasionally using my vintage Gillettes, my daily use is a stainless Feather AS-D2.

The Tortoise Shell is so appropriate, reminds me of the Barber's old straight razors.

Jack,

The coconut is indeed *new * and if you like lime? Try the Margaritas from Stirling.
