My wife was born here but I have only been here since 2008 (moving from London) and we have no intention of leaving. We live surrounded by farmland and are still only 5 mins from sandy beaches and 5 mins from the main town St Helier :cool:

For us, it makes for a great family / work balance, though house price are shocking:eek:

Not much of a test for the S2 as I shaved with the R2 about 17hrs ago.
First impressions, not as efficient as the R2, few pick ups required around the chin and upper lip, which caused a little bit of irritation.
It's only my first go, so things should improve and maybe it'll prefer a whole days growth to contend with.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Shavemac Americana D01 Silvertip
Schick Krona
Gillette Wilkinson Sword (2)
Calani Oriental Plum
Thayers Rose, BBA Post Shave Balm & Cerruti 1881 Men

What a scent on the Calani, so rich and intoxicating. I know they have a balm but what I would do for an EDt or Cologne of that scent.... A good shave today with the Krona, these blades aren't my favourite but they were good enough, smooth and no irritation. I think my brush was a little dry to load, lost a hair! Face lathered and had a fanastic abunance of lather, I'm not usually a face latherer but it has been a great experience the past few days. The BBA balm arrived today, seems I was very lucky with the discount when I ordered it, three bottles for £16.50! Bargain of the Century! The only thing now is to decide one squirt or two....​

Blade: Gem SS #4
Razor: ER Streamline
Brush: Epsilon 26mm Horse Hair
Soap: Calani Oriental Plum
Post: Calani Oriental Plum Aftershave Balsam
EDT: Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey

A lovely relaxing 3 pass BBS shave with the Ever Ready Steamline.

First time use of this soap and boy am I impressed. The scent is sublime and it whipped up into a slick protective lather using my recently acquired Epsilon Horse Hair brush.

Finished with the Oriental Plum aftershave balsam again my first time use. Amazing scent, the Balm takes an age to absorb but once it does it leaves your skin feeling so soft and refreshed.

A generous splash of my current favourite Issey Miyake and off to Cardiff I go to watch Wales get smashed by the All Blacks in rugby where one or two beers will be shared.

Have a lovely weekend all and enjoy your shaves.! :)

6C (#3)
Nacet (#2)
Cella
Midas Synth

Quick two-pass after lunch-time. I opted for the #3 plate, which I dismissed initially, after more familiarity gained with this razor. I had a good, clean shave but not overly close. I don't think Cella and I see eye to eye, I'm feeling a little tingly despite a good shave and quite dry...

Who's next? :)
