Not as far as I know Tony. I bought mine directly from Pils.The PILS is on my wishlist. Are there any UK stockists?
Very kind of you - pm incoming - IHi Iain
I too enjoy using Vitos soap.
I have a small block spare if you would like it? (Super Red)
PM me your address and I'll pop it in the post to you
Now That's an SOTDSunday 17th March 2019 AM
Pre-shave:- Warm rinse / Nuage for Men Shaving Oil
Brush:- Stirling Finest Badger
Soap/Cream:- Alvarez Gomez Barberia cream
Razor/Blade:- ES Claymore V1 / Schick Proline
Post-shave:- Thayers Cucumber / Xtro Mare aftershave / Bart's Balm Lime aftershave balm
Edc:- Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia cologne
Going out with the family this afternoon for my boys 19th birthday (just reading that aloud makes me feel old!).
Decided I wanted to look fresh so had a haircut this morning and a shave this afternoon.
The Claymore can be a nasty beast if not treated with the respect it deserves. Too much pressure or lack of concentration will have you regretting it for the rest of the day.
Wanting to ensure a good shave I decided on a citrusy theme. Step up Alvarez Gomez, shaving cream and EdP. After my usual prep I enjoyed preparing the lather. God it's a thirsty cream, but if you take your time you're rewarded with a slick and smooth lather. The sun was just at the right level to shine in through the window and glisten in the super slick cream.
Taking care with the razor, ensuring no pressure at all, 3 passes went without incident. I got one or two weepers just under my chin but it was nothing to be worried out. The Schick blade pairs up well with the razor to give an awesome shave.
Finishing up with my post routine I had an enjoyable burn with the Xtro Mare. I topped it up with some Barts Balm lime then doused myself in the Alvarez Gomez EdC (everywhere but my shaved face).
I'm feeling fresh as a daisy with a BBS face.
Have a great day folks!
By the way....was there a game of rugby on the telly yesterday???? Something about the greatest comeback ever seen in an international??? [emoji6]

Beautiful Razor I have a soft spot for open combs.
Extro Cosmesi Freddo ~ Semogue 610 ~ 7 o'clock #77 ~ Erbe ~ Loreal Mountain Water AS
Loving these Extro croaps, nice smooth shave from the 1930's #77 but the star of the show has to be the Smog 610 which is just beginning to break in proper after 2 weeks constant use... It transformed overnight a couple of days ago into a lather generating monster whilst retaining a perfect face feel, I could happily just use this for the rest of my days and I don't think I've ever said that about a brush before.
