Nice pic, as always :happy088

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Rooney badger
Kirby/Iridium
Penhaligons Racquets SC
Lucky Tiger AS
Tom Ford 'Amber Absolute' EdP

First time using this shaving cream.........very wonderful! Performance is similar to the previous Penhaligon creams I've tried, which means it's excellent. The stuff lathers like a rabid Great Dane, and I found the results to be thick and cushiony. Very nice after shave skin care as well.

Heh, best part is how it smells..........just like the cologne. It's medium scented(which is good), and I can catch whiffs during all my passes. To me, this is a classic old time barbershop fragrance, an upscale shop of course..........heh.

Another very fun shave with this Kirby......close as I've had with any razor. The comfort level has increased also as I use this more.

BBS results,

Martin

 

Is this available at the store, or did you have to make this into shave stick form yourself?

A wonderful Sunday shave for church. Now off to said meeting

 

Sunday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/7 AM day 3
Egyptian Ingram-SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Schlecker Pferde-Menthol balsam
Chabrawichi 555-cologne

I am doing a small testing of certain stuff that my friend Stefan (herzi) sent me--this Egyptian Ingram cream seems absolutely identical to the English version. It's just in a smaller tube, but the quality is just as wonderful. Take a look at the 2 tubes, 1 is from Egypt, and one is from the UK.

The 1st is the English version, which we all know.

The 2nd is the Egyptian version.
