Wednesday 29th March



Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
Yardley Black Label (Vintage) Shaving Stick & Omega 80005 Pure Bristle
Leaf Twig & Dorco STP-300 (2)
Yardley Black Label (Vintage) Aftershave

By 'eck that really is good kit!

First use of the vintage Yardley yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Repeat today

The aftershave is very potent and has a superb retro-afterburn. If folks think Pashana is strong and smells of piss, this is a chronic alcoholic's first piss of the day!

Super duper!
 
I have found the Blackbird Ti to be much smoother than the stainless steel version, strange but true!

Greetings,

Another wonderful comfortable shave to finish my shaving week off on a high. The Frankenrazor set up is my favourite to date. I will pair it with various other blades to see if i get the same results.

The Proraso Sandalwood shaving cream created a nice creamy slick protective lather with only a small amount in a short space of time The residual slickness is superb leaving an excellent post-shave feel to my mature skin.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Baylis & Harding Amber & Sandalwood ASB.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
 
So sorry to hear Tony!

That's the stuff right there, picked up a small travel bottle of the cologne and now I can see what the fuss is, gorgeous stuff. Along with the LC and Wiz it was a fantastically smooth shave, happy days!
