Brush: Semogue Torga-C3 Finest Mistura 22/49
Soap: TFS Mandarino Tachibana
Razor: Wolfman WR2-SB 1.25 head on a "Worlds Finest" handle
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (5)
ASL: Fine L'Orange Noir

A nice shave... :biggrin:
except afterwards. The combined soap and ASL scents are too sickly sweet for me. Hopefully that'll die off soon.
My face is fabulously smooth which means I keep on touching it and exciting the damned scents. :cursing:
:facep:The things we do for science.


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is MRGO Lime? I have googled it but most relevant links point to various shave forum posts using the same (assumed) abbreviation.

Also, I am extremely envious of your Old Spice collection. I have only managed to acquire a mug and modern P&G aftershave from the 90's.

Thanks. Lucked out years ago at an estate sale and picked up the AS, Cologne and talcum power and one empty mug. The soap was sent to me by a friend as a birthday gift and to my surprised it was NOS (new old stock). About four months after acquiring the above was able to win a bid for Old Spice Lime AS and Cologne.

MRGO Lime is actually a mistake on my part. Should be MRGLO: Musgo Real Glycerin Lime Oil. Works great for me as a preshave scrub/soap.

Thank you. I've read of Musgo on the forum, but have no experience with it. I will have to do more research.

Since my last post, I rummaged through some old toiletries that my father gave me decades ago, and discovered an Old Spice Musk Cologne. Very nice fragrance. I've never experienced the Lime, but will look out for opportunities to acquire.

Have you used the modern OS shave creams from India? if so, how do they compare to the original Shulton shave soap?
 
Sun 21 Gillette Weekend SOTD
Soap Stirling SandPiper
Brush DS Cosmetics 26mm Badger
Razor Gillette British RFB
Blade Tatra Platinum 2nd use
Post & Aftershave Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Ice Blue
A wonderful consistent scent from the soap...somehow abit stronger compare to 1st use. Good quality too...really love this scent!
Shave with favorite vintage OC razor paired with the blade was perfect! Easy, smooth, comfortable, and efficient in 3passes for a mostly BBS result without issues. This and the New SC is my fav OC vintage. Satisfying aftershaves on an oven-hot day.
Rating 10/10!!
