Professor Blighty Grapewood shaving soap
Home made vetyver aftershave

Very good shave. Nearly used up the Prof's Grapewood; it's likely to be the first shaving soap I'll finish.

My vetyver oil arrived today so chucked threre drops of that and one of cedarwood into some water and witch hazel to make myself a nice aftershave. Problem is, wife has spring cleaned and my glycerin has 'disappeared'.

The soap and Bay Rum were made for each other - great, complimentary scents.

LEA Sensitive cream
New Forest Tubby 2
Digress
Rapira Platinum Lux
Tabac AS

My first shave with the pass around Digress, I dialled it to three and perhaps that was a little too high. Nice smooth shave but a couple of rare weepers. Will dial it back to two for the next shave. Early days but I think a Digress may be on my shopping list.

Very grateful to Cyril for organising the pass around.

Blimey, it must have taken some doing finishing off one of Blighty's soaps. I have the Grapewood (excellent soap) and it seems to last forever.
How long have you been using yours?

I've had it about two years and it was probably 80% full when I got it. It's had occasional use throughout this time. I'd like to actually finish a soap as I have around 50 :icon_rolleyes: and wife has had a real nag at me about all my shaving crap everywhere. She has had a tidy up while I was at work and swears she hasn't thrown anything away but I can't find my bottle of glycerin so am just off to Boots to buy some more!
