    Hello Scott..I yet to try the Eyup Sabri Tuner, here's a link to a one I've had and love.
    "OSMANLI LEMON COLOGNE AFTERSHAVE 200ML - Welcome To Shaversfactory- Home of affordable barber supplies and barber tools- andis wahl oster babyliss remington" https://www.shaversfactory.com/product/osmanli-lemon-cologne-aftershave-200ml/
    If it's available in your side of the pond, it's well worth considering a purchase.

    Dec 12 SOTA

    Good afternoon.

    Assured for Men/Dollar Tree DE Razor
    Assured for Men DE Blade (2,3)
    Barbury Synthetic Brush
    Cella SS
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Modessa Witch Hazel
    Beard Growth: 23 hrs
    Dome Turf: 2 days

    20231212_154149.jpg

    I usually wait 3 days for a headshave, but I might not shave tomorrow because I may be out all day. I decided to go for an inexpensive shave by using my Dollar Tree razor with Cella soap and Aqua Velva Ice Blue aftershave. Excluding the alum block and the witch hazel, my setup cost approx. $21 and change. Yes, that includes my shave bowl.
    I picked Cella because it's slick and I knew that it would be important to have that quality lather given the razor and blade. Here's my lather:

    20231212_155035.jpg

    I did 3 passes on the face and dome for a BBS and error-free shave. Although the results were great, the blade got tuggy mostly on the dome and mind you I only have a 2 day stubble up there. I was surprised that I didn't get a weeper or worse. I think that I will bin this blade even though I can get 5 shaves out of it. Maybe, I might just do one more face shave with it. Lol!

    Surprisingly, the alum feedback was minimal despite the roughness of the blade on my dome. Witch hazel and that soothing Aqua Velva aftershave hit the spot. I am happy with this shave take care.

    Fine shave this morning, yet I couldn't protect yesterday's cut from gettting worse. This Kairos 2022 soap makes you feel like you're out West somewhere(desert, mountains, riding a buckin' bronco. That's 2 soaps I bave that give me that feeling. I'm not sure I'll get another from Pasteure's, as shipping now is $35 if I understand that right. Anyway, back to the shave....everything went great until I got to the "cut" persuasion. I was surprised the Clubman-Pinaud had the good strength it did to spread the Kairos around. 2 passes. No(additional)cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. The Stoylin Unscented A.S, gave me the clean, fresh feeling you always get with Stoylin aftershaves.Most Excellent.

    I scoured the internet to no avail. Nothing in the US and due to the alcohol content, nobody will ship overseas… Annoying as it looks like a very good product…

    I will try and keep it on my radar. Thanks Barry
