I sometimes forget there is a shop full of shaving gear in town (Master Barbers, Southport). Walking past today I had an urge to buy some Proraso stuff, so got myself some sensitive pre shave. Had the green M&E before but first time trying this

I placed an order for these blades and Arko a while back on Aliexpress as the deal was a really good one. I think it was just over Â£6 for both shipped.

Not like I needed any more blades and soap but I now have some more blades and soap.

with all the skin care stuff, you must spend half a day applying creams and stuff

A vintage butterscotch Rooney boar brush, which appears to be NOS. I have not used a real boar brush before, and I'm looking forward to trying it.

The other half has told me off for applying two much, I am now only allowed two serums and a moisturiser.

I came across this Lynx DarkTemptation Aftershave in B&M Bargains today.

New packaging and different shaped bottle to the old one

Good stuff for Â£4.99

They also had a Citrus scented aftershave, but to my (untrained) nose was more of an aquatic scent

Twenty-two quid, heavenly scent.
Packaging, quality, overall presentation points to AdP.
I am also told it is certainly not of brushless type (but you can never trust sales assistants).

We'll see.

Baton handle Treet razor with the somewhat hard to find green handle.

AnBBas synthetic and Travel Tube...brought to my attention by @Electrif . The brush will get a run out later. It has a larger glue bump than I would like but I bought it for the travel tube....and for what I paid for the complete set....I am not really worried if the brush is a disaster!
