My New Gear

[atr1981]

Well my new stuff has arrived, here is a picture for you all.

Photography needs a bit of work though, took me ages to realise why I could not get all the image in focus. Stupid depth of field.

I have:

Proraso Pre/Post Shave
Proraso Aftershave Balm
TOBS - Mr Taylors Cream
TOBS - Avocado Cream
Body Shop Cream (not good)
Edwin Jagger Medium Super Badger Brush
Custom Made Shaving Bowl with groves (my wife did it for me)
Merkur HD Razor
Various blades (not shown)
Trumper Skin Food Samples

Looking good atr!

SCAD has been kicking in I see...

 

[atr1981]

Yep, sure has.

Think I'll hold off for a while now on the creams etc.

Really just testing things to see what works best.

Think I want a new brush really. That one is okay but never get results some guys get with any cream. Very hard to get a peaky mixture.

You're got Taylor Of Old Bond Street creams, not Trumpers...

Otherwise it's a nice "start" which would last a while =)

Nice collection there. Be interested to hear how the Proraso Pre/Post and Balm set up works out - have thought about trying them myself.

That's a really nice set you have there. I trust you you will enjoy every bit of it...

very nice set up.tobs my fav

To be honest, I don't really think the Pre/Post shave mkaes that much difference for me personally.

It does give a nice effect used after shaving but not really as a pre-shave.

Nice haul. How is the sandalwood skin food? I haven't had a chance to get any yet

+1 to that question, and also great setup you have there!

 

[atr1981]

Thanks guys.

I don't really have anything to compare it to as got all of them at the same time.

The scent isn't my favourite to be honest but it does seem to lock in the moisture.

Collections seem to grow really fast around here.
