Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Schick Plus Platinum
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: I Coloniali Mango Oil Soap (Thanks Gary)
A/S: TOBS #74 Original

After hearing so much about the I Coloniali shave soap, I finally picked some up off the B/S/T. This an excellent non-tallow triple milled soap with an enticing, though hard to describe, smokey scent. The skin conditioning properties were excellent (for a soap) and the lather was slick and rich. I enjoyed an excellent shave and will be keeping the I Coloniali shave soap in rotation. Nice stuff indeed!

Razor: Jaggerooney
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Grosvenor LE
Soap: Cyril Salter
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, 4711 Splash

A fine shave this morning. You don't hear too much about Cyril Salter shaving soap, which is veggie, not tallow, but I like the stuff. I love the scent, and I always get a nice shave when using it. It's economical, too--about 6 bucks for a refill puck. I have it in a wooden bowl; however, it would fit, without trimming, the latte cup that I use for bowl lathering, purchased on sale for $1.00 at the local supermarket (normally priced at a whopping $2.00). A splash of 4711 provided a very pleasant finish.

Great pic Mark! Where (locally) did you get the English Leather ASL & EdC?
Wal-greens, Wal-Mart or a drug store? I haven't seen the English Leather products other than on-line for a long time. That was a favorite of mine back in the seventies.

 

Thanks Bruce! I got the aftershave at the local Walgreens and the cologne at Wal-Mart.

 

Thanks Mark! I have both of those stores in my area so I'll check them out.
