Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

"Budget Friendly Shaves - Day 6"

One of the best shave I've ever had this morning. Don't think I could have gotten a better one with products costing five to six times as much. Haven't used the C.O. Bigelow cream in a LONG time and had forgotten how good it is. There was a time before I joined here (took a break form all shaving forums) that this was the only cream I used. Wonderfully scented and slick lather for two passes (+ touch-up) with the '68 Slim and I finished with a splash of Aqua Velva Classic "Ice Blue" and a spray of Tom Ford "Beau de Jour" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

I used up my Bigelow, but I read that it was made by Proraso. I think I remember reading the tube or box and seeing it was true. I have no shortage of Proraso Green or other colors either. It's good stuff.

Fatip launched the blades into the market at the beginning of this year. They don't produce it, they look like the boker ones. They are doble packed. They say made in E. U. Expensive blades but long lasting, ti's is the 7th shave... Last one I stopped using it at the 10th cause I got annoyed

Ever reliable soap for the nice scent with the matching splash and the rich creamy and slick lather.
Another wonderful shave with this small razor after stroping on the roo leather. 3 buttery smooth and efficient passes for a bbs-dfs finish...
