I'm tryinta negotiate your aftershave-looks to me like you poured it into a Stephan Bay Rum A.S. bottle and replaced the Stephan label with that of the Special Reserve.

Schick E3 razor Personna blade WD Synthetic brush TSD Iced Lemon Grass SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe TSD 2x menthol Lemon Grass A/S Well, I think the razor is an E3, everything I could read about says it is so that's my story and I'm sticking to it. And as for the reputed aggressiveness of the E series, I don't get that. Just a nice easy shaver that did well this morning. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
I went deep into the den for this mornings shave. For a razor I brought out the vintage bakelite Slant Stroke with an Astra blade on the 4th use. I brought out the Maker's Kit Juniper and Jasmine homemade soap. It's a good thing that the soap making kit was inexpensive as it is not great lathering, but it has good slickness. The scent is quite different and it is not totally unpleasant to use. The Slant Stroke is one of the mildest razors I have, yet I still get a very close shave. The blade got binned into the Nash Mustard Kiddy Bank. Finished off today's excursion with Nivea and Pecksniff's Charismatic. Have a blessed day gentlemen. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk

SOTN June 11th Clix Bakelite Personna Platinum (2) La Toja Simpson's CH2 Synthetic Stirling Mountain Man Still working on the bowl of La Toja, after last night shave I can see some of the green from the bottom of the bowl starting to show through the soap though. I let the Clix fall into a slightly more aggressive angle yesterday and it performed beautifully. A nice very close DFS+ was had after 3 passes. I followed up the shave with a splash of Stirling Mountain Man AS (My first time using a Stirling AS Splash) and my face felt really good and I got a compliment from SWMBO that she liked the scent! Have a great day friends!
