Greetings,

A wonderfully smooth 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.

A fantastic close and comfortable shave today. 3 passes for a BBS Finish.
These Gamechanger's are really delivering for me paired up with the Astra SP.
I would say the OC is a little more efficient than the SB, however, both suit me very well.
Its going to be really hard to reduce the collection size as at the moment i have no razors i truly dislike.
Its a nice problem to have though.
Feeling and smelling really good.
Have a great day All.

Two pretty good shaves, yesterday morning and today. Some excellent lathers and perfectly serviceable results. The Game Changer with a new Feather felt a little forward, and needed a bit of caution.

Cold water shaving in Glasgow in October ? . . . . They breed them tough over the border!

Before reading your SOTD, I read the label on the bottle and noticed the marine ingredients and thought of Kinesia.
As it happens, I will be in Spain next week (Torremolinos), I'll look out for the aftershave in the local Mercadona.
I've already done my packing and the 100ml bottle you sent me is in my travel wash bag.
Thanks for the heads up Iain

I hope variable water temperatures are reinstated to your household very soon !

No worries P. - auspicious timing in passing that on. If you are in the market for picking stuff up - there is a Corte Ingles department store in Torremolinos - even given the current lunacy of the exchange rate - shaving stuff is still cheaper in Spain than here - particularly domestic brands. All ECI stores are basically laid out the same - on the ground floor - next to the scent department - will be the posher stuff - you should find a good choice from the Alvarez Gomez, Lea, Floid, Nivea and La Toja ranges - normally they carry a decent selection of Vie Long and Omega brushes also. If you go into the supermarket - in the basement - you will get more basic stuff cheaper than upstairs - Lea and La toja sticks, cream, balm and aftershaves. If you haven't tried them - I'd thoroughly recommend Williams Ice Cool Menthol cream in a tube - performance is way above the couple of euros it costs - and the Spanish version of Williams Aqua Velva after shave - proper old school product - I think you'd like it - about six euros odd for 200 ml. Ten unas buenas vacaciones - I.
