Beautiful pic/colors: amber (Floid) and clear blue (camaldoli), I am curious what the green coloured bottle is?

Thank you. The green bottle is a French aftershave, Rasage Opaline.

Henry,

You never posted anything on the ingredients of that bottle of Xpec:001_rolle

You are right, I didn't! From Basenotes: in the base Cedarwood and Oak Moss, in the middle Pepper, Fennel and Ginger and at the top Tuberose, Citrus and Thyme.

As far as its actual composition goes, I think it is run of the mill aftershave. I promise to take a look tonight when I get home.

Incidentally, the founder is Shirley Brody, who worked with Czech & Speake.
 
Good Tuesday morning all...

Jagger Chatsworth w/ 7OCY (4)
Semogue 1305
MWF ss
Thayers Original WH w/ aloe
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
Trumpers Coral Skin Food (sample)
Acqua di Parma Tuscan Cypress (decant)

I really worked on the MWF to get the 1305 filled with soap and I was able to get two very good passes (WTG, ATG) with the Chatsworth/7OCY combo (I like this razor alot) and then I was able to get two head passes (Mach 3) with the remaining lather. Not a BBS but a very close shave and I just overdid it with the post shave accoutrements. I love it when a plan comes together.

Time: 7:20am
Razor: iKon/New
Brush: 22nm Silvertip from The Golden Nib
Blade: Red Pack Personna (1st shave)
Cream: Portland General Store TABAC Shave Soap
Pre-Shave: None
After-shave: eShave Lavender After Shave Balm

Description: A simple quick easy shave. I had relatively little stubble owing to the previous shave and its quality, so the iKon/New seemed a little out of place. Yet, it delivered a great shave. I still think it's more suited to when I have a longer beard, but I liked the change of pace.

The soap lathered up nicely, I just need to remember that you have to work just a little harder with soap than with a cream. If you agitate it long enough, you will get a nice creamy lather. Today was no exception.

I again have minor irritation around my neck line, but really it's pretty much gone already. Overall a great shave with a very close chin and upper lip (the two areas I notice stubble most). A nice shave.
