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 balmsIt might be something or nothing, but I found Nivea Balm didn’t agree with me; and I got irritation from it too.
You too Garry.Good afternoon gentlemen

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.

Worked well for me too, Garry. I was expecting mediocrity, but they are up there with my Voskhods for go-to blade.Well it’s an excellent blade, thoroughly recommended.
My pleasure. Hope it goes better.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.
I loved the smell of Pampelmousse but it irritated my skin unfortunately
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.

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.
