How do you rate the aftershave please? How long does the stink last?

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage rebranded Marshall Fields Simpsons best
1958 Executive/Schick Plus Platinum NOS 1973
RL Safari soap
RL Safari after shave balm
RL 'Safari' EdT
Used some of my favorite shaving crap! Great old razor/blade combo, powder puff of a brush that still works really well after many 100s of uses with soap or cream, and the all vintage Lauren trilogy.
BBS results,
Martin

Lucky Tiger face wash
The Traditional Shaving Company Leodis
Edwin Jagger DE89
The Personal Barber synthetic
Rockwell blade
Fine Snake Bite Aftershave
The shave started well but in the end was pretty bad. Razor was taking down the hair well. Cream was working excellent. Applied the Aftershave and all looked great. Next to no burn or discomfort. An hour later and my face was blotchy and acne aggravated.
Not quite sure what caused it, though I suspect it was the Aftershave. So looking at Aftershave balms to try now. Considering one of the Lather Bros, Proraso, Baxter of California or Muhle organic options.

It doesn't stink (for me, anyway). It's difficult to tell how long it lasts; as I think wearers become sensitised to after shaves, edts etc. I reckon 2, maybe 3 hours? Some may think (that's) not great; but it is an after shave, not an EdT or EdP.

Pre: Neutrogena Original Formula Facial Bar
Razor: Gillette Aristocrat Junior #48
Blade: NOS Wilkinson - Made In England (3)
Soap: Smooth Operator Velvet
Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
Post: Dove Men+ Care Balm
I've used the Smooth Operator soap from Greece for a few shaves now. A good soft tallow soap which reminds me in a way of P&B. The only negative to date is that it dries out on the skin on occasions, so I'm going to experiment a little with the lathering to try and sort that out. First stop is a little blooming...

Remember, remember;
Gunmetal 6C (#5)
Voskhod (#1)
Cella
Bc Synth
A weekend away in London to visit a friend meant hard water was used today, following a sub-standard nights sleep after watching the Blackheath fireworks display, as opposed to my normal super-soft water in Wales. Not to worry, Cella is up to the task! Unfortunately, it was a steamy little bathroom so visibility was lacking but the cheap marzipan cream was more than able! One pass and a couple of guesswork touch-ups left me smooth with no irritation whatsoever! A couple of patches missed but I'll reapproach them tomorrow. Voskhod and the 6C are a great pairing! Barely felt the stubble being pinged away.
Gunpowder, treason and plot...

Shaving recipe for today.
Prep: Hot shower:/ Wrights Cold Tar Soap Body Wash & Vosene Shampoo .
Pre:
warm wet flannel to my face.
Wilkinsons Fruits~ Coconut & Vanilla Body Butter.
Brush: Semogue 1305.
Face Lather.
Soap : Boots ~ Original Shave Stick .
Blade: Treet Platinum (2)
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic .
Warm wet flannel/ cold wet flannel to rinse my face.
Post:
Alum Block./Lavender+Peppermint Oil & Witch Hazel Mixture. /Boots ~ Freshwood A/S .
Boots ~ Freshwood A/S Balm.
Greetings,
Guy Fawkes Day Shave.
A nice relaxing 3 pass + pick ups sunday morning shave with no errors to report.
Maiden shave of the boots shave stick, the verdict?..
A very good performing stick which provided a slick protective lather for the shave, and a nice post shave feeling.Could i ask for more?
The second use of the Treet Platinum blade worked well in the Wilkinson Sword Classic , not BBS but sufficiently DFS smooth, with no irritation which is what i always aim to achieve each time i shave..BBS is a bonus,but i'm not obsessional to get it with every shave.
Finishing off with the Boots freshwood Aftershave & Balm duo.wonderful stuff, one of my favourite high street shaving products you can buy in the UK.
My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your Sunday, ladies & gentlemen.
