You should definitely look into Emerald Isle from Parfums Vintage Barry. I've heard it's a really good alternative to GIT.Morning shave
Olive Oil Soap
Vreto Mystic Woods
Thater 4125/2
Schick Krona
Feather (1)
Thayers Witch Hazel (cucumber)
Nivea 2 Phase Aftershave Lotion
Creed Green Irish Tweed EDP (sample)
My very own Krona thanks to a lovely Norwegian gentleman some of you will know from the other forum. Paired with a Feather blade it gives a fantastic shave. So comfortable in use but wonderfully efficient. The Vreto soap is a marvel. It loves water but when you finally hit that sweet spot it becomes a thing of beauty. I honestly don't think that I have used a better soap. Finally a big thank you to @Benz3ne for the GIT sample. Ben is so generous with his samples. I sent him a pm asking for his thoughts on a fragrance I had noticed he used occasionally and within the week I had half a dozen generously sized samples of various fragrances. You're a credit to the forum mate. The GIT is going on my birthday wish list. Good luck with that one eh? Enjoy your Sunday chaps.
Completely agree on the WS @Palmolive fox . It's one of my go-to travel razors.SOTD: 13th May 2018.

Greetings,
A relaxing sunday morning 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
The W.S. classic razor/ Gillette w.s. saloon pack blade matched up very nicely..smooth & sharp making the shave a pleasurable experience....I can't praise the G.W.S. Saloon pack blades enough at the moment, i'm getting a dfs with them in every razor i've paired them up with..superb!
Every traditional wet shaver should at least try shaving with a W.S. Classic razor as it's a great razor dispite been very non-aggressive, paired together with an assertive blade, like today made it a smooth sharp & efficient,it's probably one of my favourite razors for my pick up passes, with it been mild i can go over sensitive areas more without any cause for nicks or irritation to my rhino skin, but i suppose certain brand snobs shy away from them due to them been virtually made out of plastic ,and it's inexpensive price..Oh well ,it's to their loss...
Finishing the shave off wonderfully, with a generous splash of Old Spice ~ Swagger a/s lotion.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.
Thanks Ross. I will do some digging.You should definitely look into Emerald Isle from Parfums Vintage Barry. I've heard it's a really good alternative to GIT.
Nothing wrong with the Willkie Classic or with using razors primarily made from plastic, I often use a Bic Metal SE and get a cracking shave from it, so be it a Willkie, Bic or a more expensive razor as long as it gets the job done that's all that matters.SOTD: 13th May 2018.
