It's certainly one of the very few aftershave splashes that is a genuine healer! I almost never get weepers or cuts but I am wildly experimental with blades (and sometimes razors) which can leave a raw feeling sometimes. Good splash of Pash and all is well with the world. In those rare cases I breach the skin, good splash of Pash and it'll be gone the following day. Feeling sticky from the day, good splash of Pash. You get the picture.
I find it a perfect complimentary splash to the Hampshire Woolfat soap that has gained some popularity on this forum.

That's good, because I've got 2½ pucks of the HWF and I absolutely love the scent - no trace of the farmyard like some people have mentioned. I've also got the ingredients to make a matching beard oil but it'll take a bit of trial and error I think.

Thats a very fine Drunken purchase@RussellR5555 I enjoyed a sunny visit to the pub with my wife yesterday whilst my parents had the girls. Feeling a bit jaded today. I've also just seen that Yourshaving are processing my order for Pannacrema Nuavia Red, Black and Green that I made at the height of merriment...

I quite fancy one of those Iskra razors with more metal parts, like the grey one.I went poking around on the interweb, found this thing.

Another one of my fascinations is with "Soviet glass" (or camera lenses). What you see there is similar with the same design over and over, minor variations maybe, tonnes of brands.
I do have an Astra 901, which is very similar to a slim twist. I'd say it has a nicer (feeling) handle to be honest! That's Czech, I think.
Just pre-ordered a Rex Ambassador and stand quite fancied getting one of these for some time was saving up and was hoping to get one for Christmas but seen that Razor emporium had a discount code for 20% off so just decided to order one wont get it till prob end of May.
If anybody is interested the discount code is APRIL20 and ends in a day or two

I’m waiting for some Baxter’s of California aftershave balm, Pinnacle Grooming ‘Male’ Tallow shaving soap, ( a homage to Jean Paul Gautier’s le Male which was the first aftershave I bought with my own cash after starting work), and Stirling Soap Company’s Shadow Orchid.
Oh and Chris from Razorplate has got in touch, to let me know my Gillette E2 Fatboy has had all its repairs sorted and is about to begin in the process of being replated! (I now have 2 Fatboys as despite having lived in the USA a few years back and knowing how slow post can be internationally from the UK to the USA, when after nearly a month and a half to 2 months of waiting, I was convinced it was lost in the post. So I bought another...and the original arrived at Chris’ a week later)! Anyway I’m very keen to see my new arrivals! I’ve only been shaving this way for 6 months or so and feel like I may have fell down a rabbit hole!
