I want a vintage Clubman Pinaud glass bottle like you have here in the Lilac Vegetal. It's an amazing looking vintage.
I PM'd him a few days ago as I was wondering how he was doing. Here's his reply: Hi Bill, oh, i`m all right for the most part. Been going through a rough patch though. I`ve been using a Gillette Guard SE Cartridge and finishing with a Braun electric. Either my medication is getting weaker or my tremors are getting worse. I will do a post in the near future (waiting on a new razor). I am also thinking of a couple PIFs. Thank you for tour concern, God Speed to you and all the members, Bill
Razor-Muhle R41 Blade-Astra SP Brush- Maggard synthetic Soap- Eleven Sicilian Lemon Shave #1 with the Muhle R41. Went slowly with very light pressure. Frankly, I found this razor fairly easy to use and never felt it was overly aggressive. Never did I feel the threat of a nick. Is the "nastiness" of this razor overhyped? Finished with a nice BBS.

Blackland Blackbird Polsilver SI (2) Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber Stirling Deep Blue Sea This was my first go around with Deep Blue Sea after shave. I really can’t say that I’m a fan of this scent. SWMBO seems indifferent towards it. Don’t see it sticking around.
Timeless Bronze OC. Weight and exposure mean it's not the easiest razor to use but it is the most effective DE I've owned. BIC (2). Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Gillette 7 o'clock Sterling Razor Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum Blade Gillette/21mm Synthetic Brush Palmolive/Marvy Mix Soap Dickinson's Witch Hazel Elvado Wild Mint After Shave Balm Even tho my face is still a bit irritated, I decided to try out some stuff @Shekky sent me. First the original knot on the brush I replaced with a typical 21mm synthetic. And the Marvy soap was grated together with a Palmolive shave stick. Although it produced a decent lather, it wasn't as nice as the test lather I did yesterday with a boar brush. So this will in the future will only be used with boar brushes. Was this a very slick soap, not really, but not bad. Did it give good protection, good enough. The razor, although basically a stamped Tech, was a bit light. So I loaded the handle with BB's and capped the end off with epoxy. The razor I really didn't have any problems as I did a two pass shave and got a nice smooth DFS. This would be a good travel razor if you're not worried about it being lost or forgotten.
Razor : Gillette popular Blade : Gillette Wilkinson Brush : alpha t400 boar Soap: Mitchell’s wool fat Post : Medicated witch hazel A/s : Avon bay rum Awesome shave today. This is another popular that I received around the same time as the one from yesterday that I haven’t shaved with before. This one resembles the Sheraton and I’m considering them cousins. They shave about the same but feel a little different. I like this one better.

Interesting you say that about the Stoylin.....this morning was my second go-round with it(the sampler), and I began to wonder a little about it muhself. I'll finish it off, but I'm thinking maybe it'd be more comfortable in colder weather(we have a brief warm spell here). By the way, I think the Chiseled Face could be a year-rounder, with the menthol(course there are other "warmer" ingredients).
