I haven't yet, but I have some of the Sandalwood version and that lathers great. The Lime & Peppercorn has a fresher smell.
 
- four OC razors from Kevin, cheers mate and thanks for the blades;
- Penhaligons English Fern shave soap and EdT;
- Edwin Jagger Barley razor, this is a lovely piece, very nice design, exceeded my expectations, looks and feels much better than what you see in the EJ stock pictures...
- Revisor straight, cheers Nigel.
 
A totally refurbished and replated 1951 Gillette Superspeed from Dave at safetyrazors.co.uk

A trial size 10 ml bottle of Royall Bay Rhum, but unfortunately they sent me a full size 120 ml bottle complete with spray attachment, oops!

Quite nice though :)
 
Just got this from the states. My first Gillette, birth year TTO. Funny to think I will soon have a shave with something as old as I am :D

Seems to be in fair condition, those are the pics from the ebay listing, they do show the condition accurately.

Now, how do I clean it up and prepare it for use?

Few from me this week:

First up, a resto from Beejay. From what it looked like when I sent it him to what it is now is amazing.

Bill is a very highly skilled chap, the attention to detail is superb and I was kept up to date all the way.

Anyway, here it is;

It's a ever ready with a 18mm 2 band finest knot. Lovely brush.

Big thanks to Bill for making it perfect :cool:

Also as a gift, the girlfriend got me a gift:
