    It's very nice, especially in the morning shower.

    About ingredients, I ordered so I have enough for at least 5 batches of each product on my homemade recipe list. Since nothing is available locally it's mostly online :)

    I am not quite sure. Perhaps 1 year per batch. But I am beginning to experiment more and use my own products more, so perhaps it'll last shorter.

    Very nice. Good score I paid about that just for my Aristocrat and about $25 for my Red Tip. So I think you got a great deal. You will like the Aristocrat. It's the favorite of my razors. BTW. I lived in Rochester for a while and I noticed that you Western New Yorkers had snow the other day. I don't miss that.

    Yes some big flakes Sunday afternoon for about 10 min which melted immediately. Just a reminder of what's on the way................

    1938 was the opening year for Old Spice, right?

    BTW, I forgot - it has salicylic acid in it, so it should help against ingrown and infected follicles.

    Yup. I haven't accounted for product expiration but I'll have a look and that when it all arrives. I store it in the fridge, which I know slows the ageing process quite a bit.

    But if I exclusively used my own products, I'd have only for 2,5 years I think. Maybe less.

    I just hate ordering all the time with shipping and all.

    I received these two nice razors in the mail today. The Scotch & Stowe and the Edwin Jagger 86 Ebony razor. I got them with some birthday money. They will go in the display for now. I probably won't get around to using them until November or December. The two heads are very similar. The S & S is not finished as well as the EJ, but it is very close in quality. They both have about the same heft and a nice balance. I have wanted a fat handle for a long time and jumped on this nice little razor. I also like the ebony handle on the EJ. I have an EJ89 that I got about 4 years ago when I began my wet shaving adventures.

    Swedish shave soap. I got a small gift too. The shave soap smells a little citrusy like the description said, I like it. And also the sample soap smells citrusy. I couldn't try the soap, I had already shaved.

    And I also bought a Palmolive aftershave =D

    I have plenty of Vitamin E, but I got an extra bottle just to be sure :D

    What do you refer to by "tried"? The shop?

    No the aftershave, The unscented AS with a little menthol

    Ahh, yes. That's the one. Next one I'll make will be with vodka I think, to remove the alcohol scent more and lower the amount of alcohol. Also, I will add a few drops of Tea Tree EO to give it a very very very slight and subtle fresh scent + Tea Tree oil is great for ingrowns, acne and the like. Just enough so I can still allow myself to call it "un-scented" :)
