Have a GREAT day.

 

Johnny, I still can't believe how fast you go through Floid...

 

There is more in that bottle than it appears. It's about 3/4 full.

 

Haha if you say so!

 

Well, after going in and looking at it again standing up, just a little over 1/2 full. You are correct, I do use a lot of Floid Blue. I just love the stuff.

Jamie.

This razor is quickly turning into my favourite razor, i'm glad that i've given over so much time to this razor because it's worth the reward, when you feel really confident about using ths pretty scary sharp thing, well it no longer scares me, but it certainly delivers a super shave, maybe I will be getting the Feather AC- SS with the wooden scales in the new year?

 

Hot shower
Proraso pre shave
Proraso sensitive soap
Proraso ASB (It smell great so fresh)
EJ89L with Voskhod (day2/3 not 100% which felt like 3rd time)

DFS shave all the Proraso products felt great together and with the omega boar there was a distinct Italian flavour today my last UK shave before christmas just getting my shave kit ready for the next 2weeks

 

Look at all that red and green. Looks like Christmas.

 

Thursday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/7 AM day 5
Nivea SC
Hega AS
JHL Cologne

I wouldn't say that I love the Nivea cream, but I think it's good stuff. I had a very good shave with it this morning, and it gave my face a very comfortable feeling. The Hega aftershave from Sweden is excellent - it's very soothing and so lightly-scented that it won't interefere with a cologne or eau de toilette.

 

Jeff, what kind of scent does the Hega even have? The bottle looks pretty cool....

 

Gillette Old Type Bull Mastiff
Feather (2)
Semogue OC Boar
Speick SC
Alum
4711 AS

 

It's hard for me to describe. It's clean-smelling, and at the same time, it's neutral. I have a vintage Hega shaving stick which a Swedish friend of mine sent me a few years ago, and it has a completely different scent. That stick smells very traditional and barbershoppy.

 

Thursday

Hot Shower
Green Marvy Mug
Ever Ready Green Horse Re-Knot
Tet-A-Tet SC
Lord L6
Voskhod (4)
Cool Water Rinse
Tet-A-Tet ASB
Giorgio Body Spray

Haven't visited with the Tet in awhile, I love this stuff.

Have a great day!

 

Hmm... Very interesting, especially the stick part.
