Hi Pat,
What are your thoughts on the RR xxx splash? Does it leave a nice face feel, how long does the scent last and does it smell like Aqua di Parma?

Cheers
Rob

Hi Rob, to me the xxx starts with a citrus scent , when it dries down there is a vetiver scent that comes through . The scent lasts on me between one to two hours although not that strong.
The post shave feel is good, maybe similar to the Fine after shave .
 
Razor: Gillette Black Beauty R-2 1971
Blade: Personna 74* Tungsten Plus (5)
Brush: Nylon 3-D printer brush and bowl (by Tom White)
Soap: Route 66 Bay Lime Twist
Aftershave: Clubman Pinaud Lime

Excellent 3 pass shave today. The Bay Lime Twist is a synergy of pure East Indian Bay brightened with a generous twist of lime, mingled with ginger and supporting notes of lemon, lily, and grapefruit. It has a long lasting, slick lather, protective cushion and glide, with a soothing post shave conditioning.

Down by the river side.

Tabac Trepidatious Friday​
Prep: Hot shower
Pre: S.M.Novella pre-shave cream
Soap: Tabac
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: Muhle 23mm Kosmo synthetic
Razor: ATT SE1 + Bamboo handle
Blade: Feather Pro Super (1)
After: WH, Tabac AS, Tabac ASB

After being beaten up by this SE1 razor before, I approached today's new blade with some trepidation. This time I'd palm-stropped the blade four or five times before loading it. I don't know if that made anymuch difference but I managed the shave without incident or accident. In fact, a nice irritation-free result.
My Tabac soap is beginning to doughnut so I might just keep using it until it's empty and free up some space in my bathroom manbinet.

Have a great weekend, folks.
