Gave the Valet an outing for a change, Its amazing to think all the history this razor has witnessed, from the Titanic sinking, WW2, JFK, Robert Kennedy, Man walking on the moon, the Berlin wall coming down, Live Aid. The list is almost endless.

Another fantastic soap from a UK artisan soap maker. They're getting like buses! Long may it continue. Great scent on this soap, a nice sandalwood with the black pepper and cardamom giving some lovely spicy notes behind it. Performance was great and post shave feel is superb.

Really nice and really close shave. The B1 wasn't as risque as I thought it would be and only needed 2 passes to get as close as anything else I have experienced. A real winner. Not sure the Clarins (an airport Duty Free purchase) is any better than the KOS oil which cost around the tenth of the price. Body Shop brush not as sinful as I've read. The EJ is certainly different and quite a light lather compared to others I have tried. Nice sample, but don't see me buying. The Floris Santal is a definite for the future and may be the Cedrat which were from a small travel pack someone bought me.

Think the gym helped prepare the skin and all in all a very happy shave
