SATURDAY MORNING
Aristo #16
Gillette Bleue Extra (3)
Neep Soapstone
Boots Freshwood cream (scuttle lathered)
Witch Hazel
Castle Forbes AS balm
A decent enough shave but the cream is nothing special I don't think. Having read a few posts on here about it being a water hog I added loads and got a nice creamy lather (like egg whites) but it just seems a bit lacking (in both cushion and slip) when compared with other, more expensive, creams I have.
Glad I tried it but there are better bargains to be had IMHO. So far both the cheap creams I've tried (Erasmic and Boots) have been noticeably inferior to the more expensive ones. I'll have to try Palmolive I think. However the cheap soaps have been great. Strange.
The Aristo is great though. Not sure it's better than a #21 but I'm very happy with it.
