One more question, sorry @rockviper, should I be shaking this bottle before every use? like does it separate? I can't tell..
Lol thanks Sam. Looking at the recipe.. makes me wonder what 'just' Nivea balm would feel like.. although.. its prob all the products combined that give it its feel. I see Balin has a big bottle going. This is neat, thank you.
Nivea balm is only a few bucks. Even if you are space-constrained, it's worth picking one up IMO.

Agreed! During my pre-B&B days, I exclusively used Nivea Sensitive unscented. I did not find it very exciting(scent-wise) but it worked well. I bought another bottle of Nivea not too long ago (Sam's fault) to do a different AS mix. I believe that I will be able to go back to my regular(unmixed) aftershaves soon. Before I do that, I will try to clone Sam's Clubman Milk.
I use a small 57ml Tabasco bottle to decant my Aftershaves. It doesn't take much room (as you saw in the CTB5).
Check your local pharmacy, I believe the Nivea product line goes on special here and there so you might be able to get a better price!
Sensitive unscented, gotcha, yeh I saw they had a few variants/colours just googling it... I'm hoping it'll give me the same face feel as my wife is a bit scent sensitive (not bad, but nice if I can avoid, and to be clear, the scent isn't bad or anything like that).

Nivea products, even the ones labeled 'Unscented', have a scent. It is very mild so you might be okay. I'm suspecting that the Pinaud Clubman and Old Spice took over in the scent department.
The Nivea Sensitive is what I use ... because I need something to give me more sense!
Looks like the box is on the move!
Indeed! The CP app gave me a notification earlier. EXCITED!
This will upset @Balin, but since I already shaved this am, the box is all the impetus I need to shave this evening as well
LOL, front row for sure!!This will upset @Balin, but since I already shaved this am, the box is all the impetus I need to shave this evening as well
WOW! What a box! So many interesting items. Will put myself together a completely random shave for tomorrow a.m.
The Epsilon leaked a bit. I'll see what I can decant to.

It dawns on me after reading this that we should have a "areas: collarbone and north" policy. lolThis will upset @Balin, but since I already shaved this am, the box is all the impetus I need to shave this evening as well
I fear your suggested policy may be too late. I suspect @mcee_sharp is as hairless as a baby seal by now...
3 items from box used today, but the Progress arrived yesterday as well, definitely prefer the long handle to short.
First time using a soap stick. I love the Palmolive cream, and now love the stick as well. Easy, effective and slick.
The brush worked beautifully for building lather, but likely to soft to load soap from a hard soap (?). What are the details on the brush? Great for a stick, and likely cream as well.
The Booster Mosswood smells good, but it's a hard no from my wife. I can sense what bothers her, but would use it again if it didn't bother her nose.

That brush is an AP Shave Co 30mm Synbad.
