Futur #3 365 blade #2
Palmolive cream, Vulfix 2235 brush

What a great shave, I'd forgotten what a joy it was to use the Futur. The 365 blade was a nice and smooth and I can't believe how much I like Blue Stratos!

      Ahhhh ... calm, calm, calm, calm, chilled.
      
      
      
      
      spandex: Lucky you. My 39c Longslant seems to give me an unfair amount of irritation when I use Bleue Extras in it. I'm pretty sure that was the combination I had it with before using that same set up yesterday, to my annoyance & my irritation!

      Hi Urban!
      
      Yes, I guess it's a case of "different horses for different courses". Also :" What's good for one is sometimes bad for t'other". Two apt cliche's I feel - in the circumstances! The constant search for suitable combinations is at the very heart of what we all strive to do here isn't it?

Hi Mikael !
When you were at school, were you often deliberately very naughty, so that you were often punished by having the cane administered either to your hand or your posterior - by any chance :?: :lol:

No... you got it wrong, I´m The Punnisher, mohahaha :twisted:, lol. Thank you, it´s a nice blade, thanks to Neil though.

No Mikael, I think you mis-understand me! I know you are a big, bad swede, and quite capable of looking after yourself. I was referring to your prediliction for a little pain :shock: The word Masochist springs to mind... :lol:

Aha, you where thinking of the sting part? Yes!? Well, some would say my wife is the masochist in this relation, but they don´t know her like I do :lol:

You don´t like the AS sting? I thought everyone did! :lol:

 

[andyjreid]

but the Old spice does seem to sort things out ,if the shave has been a bit rough (or is that just me ?). Damian

It is certainly the most effective AS splash I've tried. There are nicer smelling ones out there but for performance nothing comes close.
