Very nice setup. My only advise would be to track down some Vintage Shulton made Old Spice. This is pre 1993 made, and is leaps and bounds better than the modern made stuff. Trust me, you and your significant other will appreciate the older Old Spice.
Use 2 splashes, and call me in the morning.

 

Wow. The real deal! Nice.

 

Same 30 day setup, butttt..... I may have tried Taylors Avocado cream from the sample I bought with my newbie giveaway voucher!

Great shave again. Really feel like I'm getting the hang of it now. A couple of shaves in the bag with no nicks or weepers.

On a side note, how much lather does TOBS avocado make?!?! With my Omega pro49 I have enough left to shave again comments on lather welcome. I'm still just kinda hoping I'm doing it right.

 

Friday Planned SOTD

Tonight's shave was with an Ivory Scaled razor. I had a very sharp and smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues, just smoothness, all around.

Razor- Geo Wostenholm IXL. Ivory Scales.
Brush- Semogue 1800 Boar
Soap- Stirlings Glastonbury
Aftershave- Florida Water

 

Razor: Alumigoose w/ Custom made Aluminum Handle Britain
Blade: KAI Captain Titan (7)
Brush: DFS LE Nathan Clark Envy White Handle Aluminum Color, Anodized Dark Bronze. #41/150
Soap: Reef Point Soap Admiralty
A/S: Lucky Tiger, Old Spice
Decanter: Old Spice Ship's Magic 1989 ID #3350
Bowl: TDG Maple\Cherry Ribbed #8

Thus ends my week with this razor, blade, brush, and soap. It has been everything I could have asked for in a good shave. The Ship Magic commemorative flask was sold from 1989 to 1991 and held 6 ounces of after shave. The canteen shaped bottle celebrates the Ship Magic, the winner of the first America's Cup race. Really not sure if this is true or not, but it is a good story.


Back of Bottle

 

Nice decanter. You've got to love that Shulton smell.

 

I really enjoy these products.

 

I totally agree!

I thought they would have sold out by now.

Great soap for an even better cause.
