I wish they made a post shave balm and soap to complete the set.+ 1 on the 4711 aftershave and cologne ..a superb old school fragrance, which isn't overpowering with a just right lingering power.

I find DR Harris Arlington to be very, very close to 4711. Maybe a bit more rounded but very similar overall.

Today , I was very keen to try out my bargain "Streamline " , which arrived yesterday. This one was nice and shiny,
with no brassing so thought what a bargain. However,after a couple of strokes felt pricking on one side, and to my
dismay found the blade had shifted, as cap of blade stop had partially disappeared.
Being somewhat stubborn I reset the Blade, and continued the shave slowly and with care. I am pleased to say that
I survived with no blood spilt, and attained the usual Superior Streamline shave, that I have got used to. Well it will make an interesting paper weight, or might use the handle on a 1924.
I did contact the Vendor who was not into Razors, she was pleased no blood shed and already has given me a nice refund. Well the seized up Gillette is going to a new Home, and the PAL I also got in the multi buy is lovely.

A stunning shave. The 1912 we know is sublime, but this scent lifts it up to the very pinnacle of saponification greatness.

Another great shave today, the Fatip delivers as usual, the Rapira Platinum Lux blade is very good, maybe not the very best but good enough to buy more of them, they look a good price too.

Nice set up.Tuesday 2/21/17
Jojoba and Grapeseed oil preshave
RazoRock 400 Synthetic brush
Arko cream
PILS razor
Rapira Super Stainless blade
Thayers Unscented witch hazel
British Sterling aftershave
Every Man Jack Fragrance Free balm
After picking up a Tradere SB and absolutely loving the shave with it, I had to buy a PILS, as they have the similar shave angle as well as a cap that covers the sides of the blades. A feature that works great for me, especially on the neck. I can highly recommend the PILS to anyone enjoying a comfortable mild/mid range shave.
