Thanks, GB; I've heard good things about GFT's Skin Food. I'll give it a whirl when the dust settles on the most recent spending frenzyCertainly not a daft answer, Scotty!...I often use alum (I've referred to it as my Geiger counter, because it helps me test for potential burn etc) but not really noticed the 'tightness' you mentioned. OR...perhaps what you feel as tightness, I actually like as a post-shave feel...either way, try a little Trumper's skin food...marvellous stuff to follow any shave!
speaking of Trumpers skin food..here's something of interest.Certainly not a daft answer, Scotty!...I often use alum (I've referred to it as my Geiger counter, because it helps me test for potential burn etc) but not really noticed the 'tightness' you mentioned.

What I have noticed is that there's little, if any, irritation on my neck sans alum. Many other variables, though; improved technique and prep, for instance. ☺.Certainly not a daft answer, Scotty!...I often use alum (I've referred to it as my Geiger counter, because it helps me test for potential burn etc) but not really noticed the 'tightness' you mentioned.

I've seen Big John's before. Pretty good; many thanks. I love the visual sub-titles in these videos, when they tty to approximate the diction of the presenter, but get it slightly awry. ☺☺.speaking of Trumpers skin food..here's something of interest.

Roger & Gallet L'Homme aftershave (vintage)...
Mine arrived this morning...can't wait to give it a whirl ☺☺☺.I've just received my first pot of Star Noir...it will have to be my SOTD later this evening...and I have a ceramic pot for it too! If it's as good as you say (and I've never been disappointed by P&B) then I should be in for a treat
That's the kind of video I watch while on my exercise bike...just the right sort of length! Thanks for the link, Foxy!speaking of Trumpers skin food..here's something of interest.

Like that bowl (and the scuttle)!Wednesday AM 2016-10-12

these things always remind me of the old Tommy Cooper joke... (I paraphrase):What I have noticed is that there's little, if any, irritation on my neck sans alum. Many other variables, though; improved technique and prep, for instance. ☺.
A great pot for a great soap.Pot of the day...
It's a black Celtic cross...yes, I know it's not a star, but it's the best thing I have for my recently arrived P&B Star Noir(It will do until I find something better)
The shave: Shower and Proraso White pre-shave cream / Star Noir / Unbranded synthetic brush / Parker 22 + Nacet / Denim Black AS / Proraso white balm.
Star Noir is yet another winner from P&B...totally unique and subtle scent. It worked great with Denim Black (it was going to be either that or Floid Black but the Denim was perfect). I wanted to try the Nacet blade with a different razor, so I dug out the old Parker 22...the blade definitely made this a better razor for me...still not an EJ89-beater but good nevertheless
Have a good evening all!
