I just got a Tortoise Shavemac 2-Band Silvertip.

How do you do that?
There are various recipes. The one I use, to make 3% splash aftershave from 10% EdT, is the following:
EdT (10% aromatic compounds) 6 parts
H2O 6 parts
witch hazel 4 parts
pure aloe vera gel 3 parts
glycerine 1 part

So the recipe for 100ml of aftershave from EdT is:

EdT 30ml
H2O 30ml
witch hazel 20ml
aloe gel 15ml
glycerine 5ml
 
I'm not much good at describing scents but it doesn't smell of tobacco. I think it's supposed to be more fig than tobacco

It does smell very nice though.

@Electrif There are only 2 blades which gives me comfortable shave Triton R3 (I own 2000) and London Bridge. Both out of production and hard to find. Many people value LB on level of Vintage Wilko. I have major problem with finding stuff which works for me. I tested almost all makes of blades and 60+ razors

Personally I will be moving to China in couple years and I know it will be hard for me with shipping to there so I am stockpiling on my favourite stuff.
 
Hi all! First post...

No photo as my phone camera is sketchy at the best of times, but I received a Murkur Futur (the Matte finish) for Christmas - a very happy bunny!
A step up from my DE89, that's for sure. It has also enacted the old mystic impulse of new things beget new accessories ;)
Nice to be here...
Matt
