National Spy Day
Rooney 3/1 Ebony Finest (22/48)
Crabtree & Evelyn Almond Oil shaving cream (vintage)
Schick Krona
Wilkinson London Bridge (4)
RazoRock R-160 Sweet Almond aftershave balm
I love almond. The old cream made great lather with a wonderful scent, and the balm was soothing and also has an excellent aroma. And the Krona gave me a shave that was nearly as close and smooth as those of my much more expensive modern razors.

Wow, yet another soap maker I haven't heard of!

Soap & Aftershave RazoRock XXX
Brush Yaqi 24mm Ruby Tuxedo
Razor Marshes & Shepherd Ponds Works, Sheffield 1st Use
The soap's lather & splash + brush was on point!
Another antique SR acquisition with a tailor-made scale. This near-wedge razor's jnat edge is soft buttery smooth and keen too.
3 enjoyable passes for a bbs-dfs finish...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had pleasant evening.
Went back to Saponificio Varesino for this morning's shave. Love their "70th Anniversary" soap / splash set. Great any time of year but IMO it really shines when the weather start warming up. Had to wait a bit before using it again, though. I had put it in a plastic bin last fall while rotating in some of my autumn soaps & splashes. Well, at some point the box was jostled and the cap on the ASL cracked which caused all of it's contents to leak out. All of it! Big mess, but boy, did my bathroom smell nice for a while! The Beta 4.1 formula provides a thick, slick lather with a lot of cushion and post-shave face feel. Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with the matching ASL and a spray of Acqua di Parma "Cipresso di Toscana" EdT.
Hope you have a great day.
