You got the right handle for it! Mine came with a longer Bulldog handle which I swapped off for the HD handle and knew immediatey that was the right choice.Monday

Proraso M&E after shave
I picked up a couple of the Palmolive Menthol tubes over the weekend; and it really is good stuff. It gives a beautiful face freeze and, like any good cream, a fingertip sized snurdle was enough for more passes than a knobend on Mastermind (I only go for two passes these days; my cutlery arsenal tends toward the assertive).
Second outing for the 37; and it really is quite the cutler paired with the SI. I like its weight and balance. It’s also more on the front foot as compared to the Merkur 37C (a razor I still enjoy).
Feeling smooth, cool and eucalyptically mentholated.

It's a good soap. The other two in their premium range are also good - The Dead Sea and Santa Maria Del Fiore Firenze. I think you'll like them. Their other soaps are underwhelming though.SoTd
Another glorious shave with the boker 5/8 with the smoked acrylic scales and Pearl tang..so smooth it’s a very enjoyable blade. Lately I seem to keep reaching for the razorock soap it’s the only razorock I’ve tried so can’t compare to their other bases but it makes a decent lather the scent is lovely.. the touch of menthol is just so refreshing it’s becoming one of the go to soaps for the warmer evening’s, even though it not quite like using the SV it’s still very niceView attachment 71706
Thanks for the recommendations think I will have to give them a try at some point, off to have a look at the scent profiles on them..been thinking of getting the fresco splash to go with it, have you used it and if so what do you think to it ?It's a good soap.

It certainly is a fine handle…You got the right handle for it! Mine came with a longer Bulldog handle which I swapped off for the HD handle and knew immediatey that was the right choice.
I have the standard XXX splash which is nice but I've not tried the Fresco version.Thanks for the recommendations think I will have to give them a try at some point, off to have a look at the scent profiles on them..been thinking of getting the fresco splash to go with it, have you used it and if so what do you think to it ?
Savonniere du Moulin Shaving Soap
Thanks Chris I was considering either getting one of each or just grabbing 2 bottles of the fresco..think I might go for one of each as I know the menthol is very light in the soap but not sure about the splash that way if I’m not that keen I have the standard one to fall back onI have the standard XXX splash which is nice but I've not tried the Fresco version.
