It might be something or nothing, but I found Nivea Balm didn’t agree with me; and I got irritation from it too.

Me too! I used Nivea Sensitive once, and it immediately went in the bin, the Proraso sensitive (white) worked much better for me, now I’m into Barts Balms its like a different league of balms

Good afternoon gentlemen

Brush - Yaqi Timberwolf
Razor - Progress(4) (2) (2)
Blade - Tiger Platinum #4
Soap - Signature Soaps Britania
Balm - Boots
Splash - Floid

On the way home from work today I paid a surprise doorstep visit to @Boycie83 where he generously leaves me his scraps of uneaten remnants from the night before ;-) Good to see you again Chris and thanks again for the goodies.
So onto the shave, not had a shave since Wednesday as I came out a bit blotchy on my neck so had a little rest. Four days growth effortlessly mowed down with the Progress and this Tiger blade. This blade really is excellent, anyone know anything about them?
Mrs Seaman said my face feels like glass so that’ll do for me!!

Stay safe fellas, have a great Sunday.

Well at £5 for a 100, how can one refuse, especially with 58p off

 

[Jester]

Worked well for me too, Garry. I was expecting mediocrity, but they are up there with my Voskhods for go-to blade.

I balked on buying A&E Pampelmousse when it came out as I thought "Grapefuit? Yuck!". Well, I was wrong. Just simply a beautiful green citrus shave soap!! This sample is surely Kaizen base as it's soft, but it's slicker than snot on a brass doorknob!!

Flawless shave (#5 or #6?) on this rare & obscure Gillette Shanghai Super Nacet (probably the Nacet Platinum under different guise). Epsilon Blue AS smells just like the discod. Floid Blue IMO.

 

[Scotshave]

Thanks for the reply. I completely forgot about the balm, it's a bottle I hadn't used in a while.

I will leave it out for tomorrow's shave.

My pleasure. Hope it goes better.

I loved the smell of Pampelmousse but it irritated my skin unfortunately

You know what, I felt some burn, but I thought it was due to dry skin. You are probably correct.

I had one of those 'moments' using the Chisel and Hound brush. In a word magnificent! Straight into my top three.
Very dense with a tonne of backbone, but not to the point where it becomes unusable. Really fantastic brush.

A very enjoyable shave.

Have a great week Gents.

Beautiful brush. I hear nothing but high praise for the V9 knot.
