Shower
Proraso White
Omega 49
Fatboy [5,5]
Lab Blue [2]
Blue Stratos AS
Milton Lloyd 331

What a fabulous shaver the Fatboy is! OMG, I'm actually blown away by how easy that was! Zero effort, angle just sorts itself out, an extremely close 2 pass shave, no weepers or nicks. Zero sting from the AS!

I WANT ONE!
Well and truly ENABLED!!!
Thanks for the opportunity Martin!

That's interesting, did you import the EDP? I'm looking at some James Heeleys at the moment, but I may try some of the House of Matriatch ... If it can get through the border OK.

Chris.
 
I got it direct from them. Expensive but, for me, worth it. They do a points scheme as well so I'll get 25% off my next purchase (which shall be Unveiled).
James Heeley has some fine fragrances too! Sel Marin is the one for me, for Summer.

Old Spice classic a/s

2 pass with touch up, 1st shave with the ATT, and I have to admit I am impressed!.Super smooth BBS all over,but as per usual, I overdid it,and although only mild feeling from the Alum, the Old Spice stung like hell!. Think I need more practice with this ATT setup, and I will go with an Astra SP and MWF next time!.

Try the M2, surprisingly efficient. I found the best blades in an ATT to be lab blues and astras. Polsilvers opened up my face!

I may well have to try some samples then. Sel Marin is very good, it was I think the fragrance which got me interested in the 'niche' end of things.
 
Pre: Village Barber oil
Soap: CRSW Select Sandalwood
Brush: Rod Neep Cocobolo Chubby #856 Extra Silvertip
Razor: Ikon DLC OC Deluxe w/OSS handle
Blade: Vintage Turkish Perma-Sharp Supreme (2)
Post: Thayer's Original witch hazel, followed by Myrsol Antesol
Fantastic shave today. The CRSW really whips up a creamy lather and the post-shave is so nourishing I went without a balm and went straight for the Myrsol for a little menthol hit. Love this blade, I'll be sad to see it go.

Neutrogena Glyc Soap
vulfix 404 mixed
Proraso Green Cream
Gem MMOC
Gem S/S ex USA [ 3 ]
Woods of Windsor A/S Balm
Myrsol Antesol A/S

MMOC V Other SE [ ER & Gem ]
After great Shave with 1924, though quite harsh- Today with blade on 3, the MMOC
was so smooth and efficient. Did not need to use Alum, could probably have managed
without the Balm too.

Probably this was one of my best ever SE shaves, the MMOC for me anyway is a great Razor.
