    7/8 C. V. Heljestrand MK 144 re-scaled in ivory some years ago, cream was Christian Dior Eau Sauvage lathered with a TOBS silvertip, and Eau Sauvage was the AS balm and EdT. Wonderful scents and the shave was also exceptional.

    Cheers, Steve

    Maiden voyage for my newly acquired John & Wm Ragg Napoleon. Lovely all the way around. Nice double jimps, sharp and smooth, easy to maneuver in all the difficult places, and dressed up in ivory. A keeper for sure. :love055:

    A special shout out for the Castle & Forbes Lavender. It’s one of the first shaving creams I bought and I’ve been rationing it over the years. Excellent lather and aroma but it’s almost gone - now I just need to find a sale. :rofl:

    @Karl G Try shaving.ie, CF is $24 ex-VAT and the shipping is reasonable especially if you get 2 jars.

    Even though I favor modern razors those are two very cool :signs021: razors.

    Now that is a classic combo, something seem so right about Eau Sauvage, the brush and the Heljestrand.
