Ha, neither!dodgy said:
Scent is really nice. Floral, but not flowery (if that makes sense).

Saw that Blue stuff on ebay and wondered what it's like. How is the smell and performance?gartbnx said:SOTD 08 03 2014
This evening's shave:
English Wilkie (sixth shave!)
Flare Tip Rocket
vintage Imperial Leather shaving soap
Turkish no. 6 brush

Excellent. I started off with the ATT but my skin didn't like it today so I'll try again with it tomorrow (or myabe the Shavecraft head instead)

I can say that its smell reminds Jermyn street collection, soaps makes chubby lathe and gives nice protection. Soap's smell is weak but balm smells strong. I like balms effectiveness. .

Prep: Shower & Myrsol Emulsion
Razor: iKon Straight bar & Permasharp
Cream: Castler Forbes Lavender
Brush: Simpsons E3 Super
Bowl: Aesop
Post: Krampert's Bay Rum.
The iKon straight bar is a notable step-up in aggressivness from the Executive Shaving Braveheart head I've been using since it turned up on Tuesday. Further confirmation that the iKon is too much but the Braveheart is spot-on for me. The Krampert's smells nice, but doesn't actually feel as moisturising for me as many others it seems. Today I put on more than usual and it's left my skin feeling very tight, it does feel soft though.

Post: Gillette After shave Gel, that I am using up has Aloe Vera in it and acts much more like an after shave balm.
Good shave but still working on under the nose with an SE, one side not too bad, had to tidy up with my Progress.
Enjoying the SE experiment, think it will go into rotation but more of a relaxed weekend shave.
