Greetings RossNew fragrance purchase @Norfolkdick?
Greetings
Paradigm Ti/Voskhod :: The Varlet Orion :: Wickham's 1912 Magnum :: B&M Classic
Terrific shave today. I was fortunate to pick up the Paradigm second hand. Paired with the Voskhod (3rd use btw) the performance was excellent. It's only one shave but it felt as close as the Timeless or Blackbird, wow. The feel in hand was perfect for me, as I have some issues with grip so often prefer Ti handles with SS heads. Of course the 1912 lather was superb and post shave feel was as good as I could ask for...didn't really need the after shave but went for it anyway.
It is soft but as I said, it's a good brush. I think you'll get on with it if you're after a softy. The other razorock is the 'barber handle', haven't used it yet though. They both look good & are very comfortable.Ok, spill the beans, what's the other Razorock synth brush you're going to use?
I'm eyeing up the Razorock 400 but I'm thinking it is firmer/scratchier than the Razorock "plissoft" Bruce; and I'm really looking for a brush as soft as the L'Occitane synth so was looking at the Bruce. But you're saying the 400 is a softy.
Let us know how your other brush compares.
It's a great fragrance Dick. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on Sisley scent. It's a brand I've never been able to sample.Greetings Ross
Indeed it is and a bit of a result; I purchased it from e bay and paid less than two thirds of the allbeauty price, I was somewhat hesitant after reading that Dior Homme (in it's several forms) is the most counterfeited male fragrance! The seller had 100% positive feedback so I took a punt, no question that it's genuine albeit it is a tester not that it matters.
A couple of weeks back at Stansted airport I tried the Intense, the standard Dior Homme and the Perfume, there is no question that the perfume has the most longevity but I liked this more as it is a little less sweet and the Iris is more prominent than the perfume. I made a point of not purchasing it at the airport knowing I would get it cheaper but I did't think this cheap! I also found at Stansted and tried Sisley Eau D'Ikar and also bought that off e-bay, again no problems but you do need to be careful.
Regards

Sorry, daft question warning........is the Proraso a/s in the larger plastic bottle - the same stuff in the smaller glass bottles? My favourite a/s, always wondered about buying in bulk. Ta.
Brush: Omega 21762
Razor: Parker Variant w/ Supermax Super Platinum (1)
Soap: Proraso Green
Post: Boots Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera Gel & Proraso Green Aftershave
Having listed the razor yesterday, I have had a change of heart and it is having a stay of execution until Sunday. I changed blade for today and used products that I know are good i.e. not crap like the Willliams shaving cream. Same shave as every other day only setting 2 for everything except ATG which I dropped to setting 1. A marginally better shave I thought, still get the little micro cuts under my chin but I get that for a lot of razors. For me the Supermax felt a less harsh blade in the razor than the Polsilver. I will try the blade again tomorrow then switch it out for either a Rapira or Voskhod. I really want to like and get on with this razor.
Happy Star Wars Day chaps! Live long and prosper.
I do believe so, it is about £15 for the 400ml from Gemstone Trading, atomiser another £5 on top.Sorry, daft question warning........is the Proraso a/s in the larger plastic bottle - the same stuff in the smaller glass bottles? My favourite a/s, always wondered about buying in bulk. Ta.
Yes exactly the same. Although the big bottle looks nicer and cooler and buying large amounts can be cheaper, if you got a selection of Aftershaves and your rotation is large, you better of with smaller bottles as the chance of the A/S going off.Sorry, daft question warning........is the Proraso a/s in the larger plastic bottle - the same stuff in the smaller glass bottles?
