How long does a 100ml aftershave last you guys? I think I have gone through mine too quickly. I have not had it too long.

If you splashed on 5ml a day which is not that much, it should last you twenty days! Try putting it in a spray bottle and you will find it lasting longer. P.

Depends on how often you use it and how much you use. How long is '[not] too long'?

Prep....Shower ~ Olive Oil soap
Razor....Schick E2
Blade....Schick Proline
Soap....Speick Stick ( Tallow )
Brush....Boar unbranded 1950s
Post....BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent....Sublime Vanelle Creed copy oil.....Mr Perfume

A razor that needs your undivided attention and concentration or it has the habit of catching you off guard and giving you a bite. Today was no exception....three times but my dog has done worse and I've forgiven him. Apart from the blood letting on my neck and top lip it was a good close shave that left me smooth skinned and once I had applied the BBA PSB my skin felt a lot better. I put my sloppy shave down to just being tired and @mpf9ret putting a jinx on me yesterday! :)

Have a relaxing Sunday people.........:)

Hi, I am considering the Claymore, and wonder if it gives a comfortable, smooth shave. It certainly would be close with fewer passes. Regards.

I bought the Claymore based on its price and the reviews. I went for the head only version as it lowered the cost ....and of course I can use my own handles. It is a good razor and shaves well! The Razorock Hawk is another option which is a good shaver...is probably more forgiving due to its lighter weight (aluminium).
 
Sunday's shave - first with the Blackland Sabre-SE :)

Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap face wash.
Razor - Blackland Sabre-SE.
Blade - GEM PTFE (Day 1).
Soap - Wickham Soap Company 1912 Citrus Musk.
Bowl - Little Wren.
Brush - Simpsons Duke 2 Best Badger.
Post shave - Myrsol "Lemon" Aftershave Splash, followed by Ibiza Aloe - Aloe Vera Gel.

The Blackland Sabre did not dissapoint. Very easy to find the shave angle and to hold this consistantly, good audio feedback.

A great 3 pass shave (possibly did not need the third pass), no issues. BBS Smooth. Skin feels slightly tight, possible down to the first outing with the GEM?

After the previous two, not unpleasant but not enjoyable shaves, I decided to up the ante and shave with a hollow ground blade on a stick.
Boy am I glad I did, 100% concentration and a steady hand, resulted in a one and a half pass blissful experience.
@Digimonkey, I was left smoother than a black ball potted by, a blindfolded Ronnie O''Sullivan at the Crucible.

Sunday...another SEptember one (wrong forum, apologies)

Soap - Proraso Sandalwood
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
Face lather
Razor - Schick Injector E3
Blade - Schick Injector (China)
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
After shave - Proraso Sandalwood

I gave my face a rest yesterday after the rough shave with the Feather AC on Friday. The E3 gave a lovely smooth shave and the Proraso Red really is a good soap. Plenty of thick protective lather for the Schick. 2 passes and a touch-up. Smooth as you like...

Another side of Bali. Still using the Black Mamba, I Coloniali, Lea AS combo. Whipping it up with the RazoRock Bruce. Getting great shaves. Used a Polsilver for 5 or 6 shaves and it was still going strong.​

Get a few different ones and rotate them
It won't last any longer but you'll think it does, and as they say, it's the thought that counts. :D;)
