BBS results,

Aristocrat #16
Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Proraso Red Cream + GFT Sandalwood Soap
Muhle 21 mm Synthetic Silvertip
Matchplay AS

Being a dreich day, I fancied the warming sandalwood combination - and it didn't disappoint.

My newest purchase, the Muhle synthetic, is fantastic! When people said how easy it lathered soaps, I didn't expect such a marked difference. It does feel strange on the face, but not in a bad way. I'll try face lathering next time to see how it affects the lather.
