Hello Paul great shave, a very nice Razor never seen before! In your videos, Lowri always reminds me of my mother with her flowers and thanks for that ❤! Because my mother was also with flowers and plants so great. We have overall in the house flowers and plants and outside! And people who know with flowers and plants they're very kindly and they have a great heart ❤️! Have a great day and week both!
Mrs H, lovely floral arrangement. Very nice shave. I like when you leave the bits in when things dont go as planned. Alot of our shaved dont. You mentioned your father and american after shaves and how he would have loved it. Im the exact way with anything british made. I grew up watching british tv and movies in my house. My mother loved them. So if its british made, im all over it lol. Even though ive never been. No shave for me today. So have a great rest of thr week.
Exciting look into the past! Thank you for a great variety, lovely flowers....watching the rest of the video tonight....on my way to work. I have seen the intro to pre-shave. Look forward to seeing the video...hope your day goes well!
Lady H deserves some laurels for her bouquets! You made a nice recovery from the rusty blade mishap. I'll be surprised if you can find any Laurel proprietary blades that are any better than yours. Certainly not at a price I'd be willing to pay. Like you said, at least you have the Laurel razor for your collection. Good luck if you attempt to trim a modern blade to fit. Until your next video...cheers!
Paul, nice recovery and great shave 😊👍 I used my Wilkinson Sword razor and blade this morning along with Duke Cannon Shave Cream. Nice shave with good slickness. 😊
G'day Paul, nice shave. The arrangement by Mrs H is beautiful as always, thanks to her talent. No big loss with the Laurel razor, stuff happens and yes you can modify a modern blade. Musgo Real keeps good company with several other same type products: Proraso, Palmolive Etc., good stuff. Great video, well done🪒🪒 Thanks and have a great day.
Nice shave there Paul interesting to see how they made the blades proprietary I’m sure one can modify a modern blade to fit in there just to try it once but it would definitely be a hassle to do it every time you want to use the razor great shave see you Sunday
Hi Paul! Looks like Laurel's proprietary blade system could have caused them to close up shop. Nevertheless, you may consider drilling a hole in the middle of a new razor; one that matches the size of the Laurel.
Hey Paul great mid week shave. The weather here is the same one hour it's blowing and raining and the next hour the sun is shining. I'm waiting on some new items this week. Some new shave soaps and splashes. I hope you and Mrs. H have a great rest of the week. Take care
Gorgeous flowers by Mrs. H. great shaving video, what a shame about the razor blades..see thats why i hate proprietary blades they are more expensive plus when a company close down you cant get the blades anymore i made a double mistake with two SE razors.oh love the aftershave anyways stay safe, cheers....Peter
Found this Information online The idea behind this was, that Laurel Blades would fit any razor (including Gillette) but only Laurel Blades fit a Laurel Dumbbell Razor - so they hoped to steal some of the markets from Gillette, obviously, in hindsight, the plan didn't succeed. Other companies also tried this - such as Ward & Son (Wardonia) etc. The coating on most razors before the 1980s was Bright Nickel, with very early razors being silver plated. Yours will most likely be Nickel and hopefully not of the proprietary blade variety.

There are a lot of those Laurel razors, still with their paperboard boxes, packs of Laurel blades, and tins, available on American eBay.

Your attempt deserves laurels. I hope the trimming of a modern blade proceeds well.
Hi Paul, greetings from Texas! Lovely flowers from Mrs H. I wonder if you could use a hole punch, for paper, to make a blade fit that Laurel.
Good morning Paul great looking shave and wonderful flowers by MrsH enjoy your day my friends all the best👍🏻

Great Shave Paul 💈 Love the big brush! Beautiful spring/summer flowers Mrs H💐 Have a great rest of the week both 💈💐💈
Is Arko after-shave balm that good??
İ think they r better than even prorasos. Sedative and moisturizing. Perfect for the last touch of ur post shave.
Strange happening with that razor/blade.
