Friday 26th May 2017

​
Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Sensitive Face Wash and Proraso White
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: Super-Max Super platinum (#3)
Brush: Kent BLK4
Cream: Truefitt & Hill No.10
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphrey's Witch Hazel
AS: Lucido

I stuck with the T&H cream for some consistency while trying the Super-Max Super Platinum blade in different razors, best shave so far is the Fatip but it was still not inspiring.
 


Brush: Omega 11126
Razor: Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip
Blade: Personna Super Med Prep (1)
Soap: Valobra Cologne
Post: Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel, Nivea 2 Phase & Crabtree and Evelyn Neroli

A lovely shave, out of my razors I find this the most aggressive shaver of the lot, a bit aggressive for my tastes in truth. It was a good shave but not completely comfortable. The Valobra is always a treat to use, lathers with so much ease and very thick and creamy. The scent is very neutral, very reminiscent of P&B Albion. ​
 


Prep: Cold shower, Nivea face scrub and L'Oreal charcoal face wash
Razor: ATT S2
Razor blade: Gillette 7 o'clock yellow
Brush: Thater
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery
Soap: Wickhams Magnum
Post: Thayers witch hazel and Fine American Blend.......oh and a couple of bottles of Peroni :wink::cheers:

Simply outstanding shave! The first real shave soap I bought when I started on this journey and years later I've used none better performance wise.

Ahlam al Arab edt by Ard Al Zaafaran

While passes one and two felt good, pass three wasn't as smooth. I think the Treet blade needs to be paired with a more aggressive razor to get the best from it.
I'll use one in the Futur and see how it works out.
The Ingrams was as runny as a still warm jelly but it performed well, with more than enough lather produced for three passes.

The Ahlem al Arab edt is quite nice.
It's very woody and spicy, not sweet like Oud 24 Hours.
I've only had it on for an hour or two, and the scent seems to be still to be evolving.
For me, it doesn't beat 24 Hours scent wise.
 

Fantastic photo, Electrif! I'm just tipping my toe in the GEM waters and that Streamline is absolutely eye-catching.
