How long does a 100ml aftershave last you guys? I think I have gone through mine too quickly. I have not had it too long.

If you splashed on 5ml a day which is not that much, it should last you twenty days! Try putting it in a spray bottle and you will find it lasting longer. P.
 
Depends on how often you use it and how much you use. How long is '[not] too long'?

~SOTD~ 10th September Sunday

Prep....Shower ~ Olive Oil soap
Razor....Schick E2
Blade....Schick Proline
Soap....Speick Stick ( Tallow )
Brush....Boar unbranded 1950s
Post....BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent....Sublime Vanelle Creed copy oil.....Mr Perfume

A razor that needs your undivided attention and concentration or it has the habit of catching you off guard and giving you a bite. Today was no exception....three times but my dog has done worse and I've forgiven him. Apart from the blood letting on my neck and top lip it was a good close shave that left me smooth skinned and once I had applied the BBA PSB my skin felt a lot better. I put my sloppy shave down to just being tired and @mpf9ret putting a jinx on me yesterday!

Have a relaxing Sunday people.........

Not a lot to shave off after yesterday evening....but everything has most definately gone. 2 passes for a BBS shave

Hi, I am considering the Claymore, and wonder if it gives a comfortable, smooth shave. It certainly would be close with fewer passes. Regards.

I bought the Claymore based on its price and the reviews. I went for the head only version as it lowered the cost ....and of course I can use my own handles. It is a good razor and shaves well! The Razorock Hawk is another option which is a good shaver...is probably more forgiving due to its lighter weight (aluminium).
 
Sunday's shave - first with the Blackland Sabre-SE

Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap face wash.
Razor - Blackland Sabre-SE.
Blade - GEM PTFE (Day 1).
Soap - Wickham Soap Company 1912 Citrus Musk.
Bowl - Little Wren.
Brush - Simpsons Duke 2 Best Badger.
Post shave - Myrsol "Lemon" Aftershave Splash, followed by Ibiza Aloe - Aloe Vera Gel.

The Blackland Sabre did not dissapoint. Very easy to find the shave angle and to hold this consistantly, good audio feedback.

A great 3 pass shave (possibly did not need the third pass), no issues. BBS Smooth. Skin feels slightly tight, possible down to the first outing with the GEM?

Pre: Lots of cold water
Brush: EJ Medium PB
Soap: P&B Solaris
Razor: Rolls Razor Imperial No.2
Blade: Hollow Ground
Post: More cold water, Floid Vigoroso



After the previous two, not unpleasant but not enjoyable shaves, I decided to up the ante and shave with a hollow ground blade on a stick.
Boy am I glad I did, 100% concentration and a steady hand, resulted in a one and a half pass blissful experience.
@Digimonkey, I was left smoother than a black ball potted by, a blindfolded Ronnie O''Sullivan at the Crucible.
 


Sunday...another SEptember one (wrong forum, apologies)

Soap - Proraso Sandalwood
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
Face lather
Razor - Schick Injector E3
Blade - Schick Injector (China)
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
After shave - Proraso Sandalwood

I gave my face a rest yesterday after the rough shave with the Feather AC on Friday. The E3 gave a lovely smooth shave and the Proraso Red really is a good soap. Plenty of thick protective lather for the Schick. 2 passes and a touch-up. Smooth as you like...

Get a few different ones and rotate them
It won't last any longer but you'll think it does, and as they say, it's the thought that counts.
