I used Obsidian today and you are so correct Jeff - great stuff. The scent and freeze just go so good together.

You were the one that pushed me over the edge to get the AS after one of your shave of the day pics. I'm with you, I really like the scent. Maybe Doug will bring it back after some time. Cold Spice is on my radar between you and Tim talking it up, I may need to get some with the next order. Enjoy the weekend and family my friend. I think we are doing the Incredibles tonight.

Wow Matt! Very Nice.

My daughter is back from college and she we looking for a quick touch up on her straight. Always a pleasure to have her in the house, and it makes for a great Father’s Day weekend.
She has some fun options - this straight, a ‘66 Gillette Slim, or a RR Mamba. Fun times .

Enjoy your shave!

Tonight's shave was with a Shiny Sheffield. I also used some vintage Avon Spicy Bar Soap. I had a nice shower with the soap. It has the scent of the Aftershave, just not as strong. It cleans well, it just does not have the moisturizing ability of the Yardley Bar Soap I use daily. The shave went super smooth, and I was left with BBS results. Excellent razor.

If you really smell like a million bucks you would be in bed having a bloody jolly and you wouldn't be here on the TSD for nearly a week

 

Oh, but I do get my bloody jolly every day of the week. Twice on Sunday.
I just get on here to give the Misses a breather...

 

What a stud...

 

Tim You are so correct Have u tried PAA OUD spice? Unfortunately it is discontinued and Since it was shulton with oud, I had to get it before it was gone. it is really nice.. but cold spices is better, I just love the scent! I have several vintage shulton after shaves, luckily I only got 2 that had that spoiled scent. my best score is shulton burley gift box of burley a.s. and cologne and a burley soap on a rope that was NOS and the eBay seller was from Alaska, my guess is that it was stored in a perfect climate controlled basement and never got to hot... it smells and look' like it was yesterday, even the soap.... burley is a hidden treasure, rumor has it PAA is doing a tribute..I plan on using the soap some day, been using the a.s. and coloogne on occasion

 

friday night

..... Hope she doesn't choke to soon with her breather

 

Man sorry to hear this Bill, razors can be a YMMV thing. you never know what works for you till you give it a try, although if a manufacturing or development defect is the problem then I guess it is what it is.
