T&H West Indian Limes is my favourite after-shave balm. Is the cream and cologne as delicious as the ASB? Just that, sometimes, I've been left seriously underwhelmed by colognes and creams after falling in love with the scent of certain balms.

Almost forgot:

Jagger 89L, single shim, BiC blade
Omega 48
Ingram's
Barbershop Bay Rum
Astral

Fairly good. For me, the BiC is easily much better than the current German Wilkinson Sword but I'm not sure if it's as good as the Rapira Swede or Personna Lab Blue. Further testing required before I splash on more blades.

Can I ask where you get your Rapira Swede blades from?

the world and it has left my skin a bit tender in places.
