Lovely. You don't see Fitjar products around much these days. The scent is subtle but very pleasant, described thus - As if you rolled in the juniper bushes on the way over the mountain - fair enough, I'll take their word for it as we are kind of short of mountains and juniper in Govanhill. Rolling in bushes sounds like a good way to trash your Goretex and best avoided. The cream is undoubtedly a premium product but I'm really not sure it justifies the price. Nice enough but other creams perform just as well for much less to my mind. The weekend beckons - oscar - I.

I genuinely think Fitjar is a premium product as you say.
I see they now have soaps as well as creams & could be worth a try

Well another brilliant shave today.
I can’t make my mind up if i like the scent or not but the performance is not questionable.
I love coffee but this scent isn’t a patch on A&E Turkish Coffee but nonetheless a wonderful 3 pass shave.
The Surprisingly good Muster Blade was just as good on the second shave as it was the first
so i reckon there’s another few tucks coming my way.
Well this is my 4th day in Norway & i reckon i should be home Sunday/Monday
Onwards & Upwards
Stay Safe Guys

The Kai MG performed better in the Stando. Still not as well as Prolines or Feather Pros though. I'll probably move the MGs on.

Shaving Shop is a nice scent. Usual TOBS performance. Not my favourite of the range though. In my new hard-ass approach to software, I'll probably BST this one as well.

This bodes really well for the couple of packs that I have lined up ... soon. Nice one! How familiar are you with Treet blades (also from Pakistan) and/or SuperMax (India) whose platinum blades are rather nice!

A fabulous shave and weekends here guys! I have just set up in my first caravan with the kids and wife and mutts! So far so good bar some rookie mistakes and the bloody power tripping over and over! Think it’s sorted now and it’s a step up from our usual camping hell/trips!

I haven't tried the soap, as yet - it's probably going to be pretty good. Also, I think, credit due to them for supplying their stuff in refill packs so you don't need to keep buying tubs. Are they cheaper in Norway do you know? - cheers -

Yeah i’m the same with the soaps
haven’t tried them but definitely on my list
and the scents are the exact same as the creams or so i’m lead to believe.
I haven’t checked prices for a while to be fair but last year ish when i checked prices were very similar
I’ll need to have another look

Soap • Tabac
Brush • Yaqi Mokka Express
Razor • Parker InjRzr
Blade • Schick Twin (1)
Post • Vitos Tobacco Aftershave

Maiden Injector shave. Injectors seem to have eluded me all this time, possibly because I've always thought that the blades seem expensive?
Four days growth to remove gave it a good run out.
Started with setting 1, it coped well without any tugging, and cut very close WTG.
ATG pass, still on setting 1 left a very smooth finish.
