Some early bday presents [emoji4]has anyone else found the Saponificio Varesino "70th Anniversary" After Shave Lotion nearly impossible to get out? Or is mine off?

Yes, I had a bottle of Saponificio Varesino "70th Anniversary" After Shave Lotion in which the content got a bit jelly-like.
I managed to mix it up a bit using a small wooden pin. After this, long and hefty shaking got the consistence back to normal, scent was OK. Now I normally give the bottle a short shake just when I open my den, this helps to keep the lotion liquid.
Try also to check the label, if I recall right, there is a note that you should shake the product before use.

Thanks I did find after shaking it was slightly better. I contacted shave lounge about it and they have said it shouldn't be like that and are sending a new one.

Top service as usual from Shave Lounge.
Saw this fellow on the Bay and, having fancied dipping my toe into OC land, acquired it. You guys will hopefully help, but I reckon it's an English Gillette New? Dunno about length of comb, etc. Not bad condition, little bit plate loss and tarnish here and there, but nothing that should affect the shave.

I have to say in terms of customer service I have never dealt with a better retailer.

They are second to none, imo.

I got one the same from eBay too, mine has more plate loss than yours but it cleaned up nicely and has shaved OK so far.
I think they are this one here:

But no idea of what age they might actually be.
Excellent! Thanks for that...

Had a weekend in Amsterdam and no shaving cream so bought the first decent stuff I could find in a stick of Tabac. Ain't this stuff good? Really pleased with the results.

The notches on the baseplate look unique. Otherwise it looks like the one I just sold here: http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/com...ed-gillette-new-flat-bottom-travel-set.41146/
Yup...not dissimilar; certainly the same handle type.
