Fatip Testina Gentile
Astra SP
Stubble Buster Game Splash

I had some birthday money so, as you can see, I used it wisely. I stopped by Groomatorium, Inc. on my way home from work yesterday and picked up the splash and the razor because why not? Ron was still putting the labels on in the back and his employee had to check if they were ready. So this was hot off the presses.

So, I like this aftershave. There's almost no burn for an alcohol splash and it has a nourishing feel. The scent is the same as the soap, obviously, but ticked up, though to me there's no danger of being overpowering.

The Fatip Testina Gentile has a bit more blade feel than I was expecting, but it still made for a comfortable shave.

Wonderful shave today. Started with a shower then some pre shave oil My ever ready built a monster lather With some TOBS St James and of course the Gillette Flare with an astra blade was magnificent. Some Pinauds finished the whole thing off.

Today's shaving, enjoying this beautiful Victorian era W&B razor, accompanied by the Antiga barbaria do bairro soap, the Romera broach of Manchurian badger that continues its "maturation", this time for shaving the face and delineating the beard, the head was shaved with Gillette super speed with rapira blade (2), ending with after shave the Toja. Relaxing and great. May they continue to have a good Sunday friends.

Greetings,

Today the silver star ss blade paired up with my r89 perfectly,these blades are normally sharp & efficient however, today the first pass felt a little tuggy, but the following passes it was smooth.

The r89 is always a pleasure to shave with, what ever the blade i've matched her up with, she always performs to good standard,what more could i ask for?..A wonderful performing value for money de razor, if i only had to have one de razor this would be a very high contender.

The addition of the glycerin drops to the wilkinson sword soap bowl provided me with a wonderful slick protective lather, a very enjoyable comfortable shave.

Finishing the shave off with the last few drops of David Beckham ~ Instinct A/S...not to worry though, i have another full bottle to crack open.

My face is feeling refreshed, & smelling devine.

Oud ~ 24 Hours EDP.


Greetings,

Every traditional wet shaver should try shaving with a slant razor, i for one was very hesitant about purchasing one, thinking you had to master a entirely different shaving method, because of the slant angle, how stupidly mistaken i was, on my maiden shave with the 37c & it's bigger sister the 39c both became a instant joy to shave with.

Both of these wonderful german razors are not aggressive at all, but smooth, sharp & efficient giving me a sublime shave everytime i shave with either of them..

Today the silver star blade,on it's second use matched up superbly with the 37c.

Another very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report,yet again.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Benjamins ~ Mentholated Bay Rum & some liberal squirts of oud 24 hours Edt to the chest & pulse points.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
