Nice shave and Merry Christmas Inspector and Mrs. Inspector!🎄 🎅 🎁 Stirling is definitely one of my favorite artisans. Great quality and value. I still have a couple of their Blackfriday scents that I haven't tried out yet. Candy Cane is a nice scent, I get a chocolaty scent from it as well. I also like Stirling's Christmas Eve scent, it's pleasant. Starting to get my sense of smell and taste back after having covid last week, so I'll be getting out my festive scents a little late this year, but I think the Christmas Eve set will be used on Christmas Eve 😎👍 Have a great Christmas! 🎄 Steve
better then boar cheaper in the long run no break in .my Simpson Trafalgars 29mm i mic it.' the best brush on the market today it's like buying a $200 badger hair brush, no cleaning the brush, no need for a brush stand, fast drying time, well not fall apart like a badger hair or boar can, cheap to buy, I have owned it for 5 years with no hair loss with no problems wheelchair Larry Merry Christmas
Sorry, mate, your razor is fantastic. I've got one as well, but Derby sucks. Those blades are made in Turkey. However, even Turkish people can't stand them. I lived in Turkey for seven years, and the only blade that is widely used in most barbershops is the Perma Sharp, which is made in Russia. There are so many great blades out there. Unfortunately, Derby isn't one of them.
Terrific shave Dave! May you and your Mrs. have a Merry Christmas!

Thanks, Steve. Hope you're feeling better! Merry Christmas!
Great shave Inspector! Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year! 🎄
Thanks, Chris!
that’s such a gorgeous razor! best wishes, dapper shaves
Thank you!
Great shave. Another Yates machined razor.
Is there a difference in blade feel and efficiency between the Apex and the Yates Winning Razor?
I don’t think the APEX is from Yates, only the Drakkant line
The Apex is designed in Toronto by Kaleb and CNCd in China by a high-end jewelry manufacturer.
Thanks, Joe! You, also!!

YMMV. Horses for courses.
