      Thank you Robert👌 Really enjoy both of these razors and there's not much in it between them for me, both in that optimal aggression vs efficiency range for me. Have a great week brother👌😎👌

      Thanks for watching Buddy💕 Love both razors but the Overlander just has the edge, love the fat grippy handle on the Alpha though. Take care and shave smoothly👌🤠👌

    Great comparison shave Lawrie. The Shave Dad razor surprised me with it's efficiency.

      Thank you Scott👌 Shave Dad razor is a very nice razor to shave with for me with specs/aggression/efficiency and shave feel right in my optimal wheel house. Take care brother👌😎👌

    Again Uncle! Another top of
    the chain performer. St.James
    of London is simply great. A
    fantastic cream and also good
    aftershaves gel type but nice
    on skin. I have 3 of them.
    Also, the price at least in uk
    is acceptable attending the
    quality. Wish you a great
    week uncle😊.

      St.James is an excellent cream, on this first use of the cream it appears to perform better than the 3T's and this one had good scent strength. Unfortunately unlike the 3Ts, St.James is not readily available locally (Australia) and was lucky to picked this one up on sale. Have a great week Paulo👌😎👌

    Nice shave buddy. I have just put my name down for basically the same razor but with two base plates cc and oc it’s in aluminium but blue head with the logo UKWSS Stamped on its uk wet shaving society. They are only making 100 and that’s, so looking forward to receiving that. Thanks for the video Lawrie and have a great week

      Thank you brother Paul👌 Yes I saw that offering on UKWSS great value for two plates, although the more aggressive oc is not something I would normally use but I expect you will though. The CC plate is the same as the Shave Dad razor from what I heard. Have a great week Fox made in Sheffield👌😎👌

    Great shave Lorri, st James soaps are good as you said good slickness and lather, cool razor you have there, and I noticed you have lost weight looking good mate, my self I don't take sugar well no coffee or tea no chocolate or crap like that being 55 got to look after my own wellbeing, take care and have a great week ahead 😃👍

      Thank you Mark for your kind words👌 I'm really into Aluminium razors these days and these two are awesome shavers, right in my wheelhouse of mildness and efficiency. Yes, I'll be 72 this year and I've lost quite a bit of weight, 21.5kg in the last 6months, during Dec last year I was looking for a way to loose weight that was sustainable and came across some UTube videos by Dr.Jason Fung describing how to reversing obesity & type 2 diabetes (T2D), so I made my lifestyle changes based on his recommendations: no snacks, no added sugar, big reduction of carbs intake, intermittent fasting (16 to 18 hour a day) with two meals a day (basically Breakfast & Dinner) and increased my walking. So not only is my weight down but I've dropped my T2D meds down from 3 to 1 med, stopped my statin med (for cholesterol) and looking to cut back my blood pressure one as well. I still have a lot more weight to loose (another 20 would be ideal) but I'm happy with my sustainable progress (my Doctor is too). Take care brother👌😎👌

      @@petekadenz9465 Thank you for that, yes it's not easy when I've been working on getting weight down for years, that's why I mentioned how I was able to achieve this change. 💕
