Upcoming excitement
Bergums Såpkokeri is slated to make a Limited Edition of his Brutalt Bra Barbersåpe for my favourite shaving forum. As a fellow Norwegian, how can I not be excited about a well review Norwegian shaving soap that will smell of the Norwegian forest, exclusive to the one forum I really enjoy hanging out on?

Another new arrival
Bought privately from the fellow shaver behind BullGoose, a Gillette Slim.
Mr Razor have a scan of the original manual – not that a razor really need much of a manual.
Shave of the day 6th January
New arrival – Dr Selby Lavender Shaving Cream
Direct from BullGoose shaving supplies in California, a tub of Dr. Selby Lavender Luxury Shaving Cream – three times concentrated. Was intended to arrive by Christmas 2015, but with the delays in the Norwegian postal system…
The hard cream came with an operators manual in Spanish, but luckily a fellow shaver over at my favourite shave forum translated it into English in his review a couple of years back:
Always leave the tub open and use the cap as a base. The reason is because Dr. Selby shaving cream (in the tub 3 times concentrated) will always have a dry surface and it will render 400 shaves. Only in case of travel cover the cream.
Wet the brush, discharge the water over your face then swirl the brush in the tub as shown in the image. This way the cream will not get wet and it will not waste too fast.
To multiply the cream production on your face. Wet the brush a little more and keep swirling until it turns creamy, compact with no air bubbles.
