  1. I like this shave. These are both great products IMO. Love the Cyril L Salter sandalwood soap and the Fine Santal Absolute.
  2. This is my favourite adjustable DE and can't understand why you would keep it stashed away.
    If you want to move it on PM me, I haven't got an aluminium model.

  3. That is one 'boss' looking razor. Looks like something some billionaire upscale store would sell to someone who has marble shower walls and crystal faucet knobs and a Bentley in the driveway. Wow.

  8. Thanks Andrew and Tim

    Well Tim, that is what I imagine I see in the bathroom mirror each morning while standing on linoleum floor, Formica cabinets but I do have faux crystal faucet knobs in the shower and sink and drive a real mans vehicle 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie edition Cummins turbo diesel extended cab and bed all chromed out.
  9. Prep: Hot shower with conditioner to my face.

    Lotion: Gillette aftershave gel


    Trying to finish off the Cayman as I only have about 4 shaves left in the tub. But I'm going to miss it when its gone. But the good news is that it will be getting replaced with Sudsy Soapery lavender mint. Haven't tried anything from AS but everything I've heard has been very positive.

  13. If that's written in Cyrillic, it's probably actually "Rocketa," which would match the shield. The Russians were/are very proud of their space program, which produced the first satellite, first man and woman in space, and first spacewalk.

    After the super close shaves I've been having from @twhite's Igor, the Cobra had to reaffirm it's supremacy in the bathroom.
    Loaded with a new blade and with the slickness of the Schafmilch as it's medium, the Cobra was in it's element.
    Supremacy re-established...
    ....or is it?
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    Superb Shave
    River Rouge provided optimal lather and a great scent. I paired it with Unconditional Surrender and it worked pretty well. I love both scents. The Rockwell loaded with an Astra SP left me with a close comfortable shave.

    Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the PAL Adjustable. What do they put in Proraso that keeps me coming back to it? Wow, that stuff is good! I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺
