I haven't checked for any other answers to this, sorry for any repetition, but I'm 100% sure that it is a match for the original eau sauvage - frosted clear bottle, yellow/green liquid - and not the modern iteration - dark bottle, Johnny Depp etc. I have the Apricus soap and splash and they dovetail with the edp version of eau sauvage perfectly - the latter is my signature scent. The Wickham soap base is excellent in my opinion and I'd describe using it as 'sunshine in a tub.' I don't know if Apricus made it beyond the original limited edition? If you can get some, try it - see what you think. Cheers - I.

After skipping yesterday (not by choice, I just did not have the time after having been woken by the little terror) just had to do it today, nice comfortable effort with the selected gear, not much to say other than grand shave.
Hope everyone had a brilliant day yesterday, after having had our Christmas Dinner on the eve we've already been living on leftovers...dear lord of I see more pork belly I might explode...though I won't pass up the Gammon, that would just be rude!
Hope everyone has a relaxing one!
Cheers

Soap: Barrister & Mann: Vespers ( Excelsior )
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..

today was Barrister & Mann: Vespers in the Excelsior base... one thing that I did notice was that it felt slightly richer and more luxurious compared to the Glissant base, which also become evident in the post shave feel.

A great first shave with the Treet blade, although I'm still struggling to find the best method of shaving my neck on subsequent passes as my hair grows in many funny directions there.
As a side note, I hate to say it but using my Signature Soaps again today has made me not want to use my TOBS Christmas present... The Signature is just too good.

Christmas Day Shave
Boellis Panama
Neep Beehive extra dense badger
ATT M1 Kronos handle
Gillette Silver Blue #4
Ganymede by Marc Anton Barrois EdP
Belated posting as Xmas day is very busy for me and this Xmas complicated by working four twelve hour shifts over the period with tonight finally my last until the New Year. The shave was good and straightforward so my appearance to family was good and I smelt nice with compliments from the women. Hope today is a more relaxed affair for most!

Right. Take 2.
After my spectacular failure to ensure my travel set contained a blade, I have now returned to the den where there are no shortages.
The beneficent beaming face of Arko man, into whose tender care I had been bid by none other than Arkbishop Donnie of Latheringham, bestowed upon me his grace and bounteous lather. Continuing to observe Decemboar, I anointed myself therewith using the SOC and, having bent a few Wilkinson Swords into ploughshares, I took up the Hawk V3A with a Feather Pro and removed all trace of s(k)in. Blessed are the hairless, for they shall be smooth when turning the other cheek.
