Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Elite Razor Bloody Basin Jasper Manchurian White (28mm/57mm)
Eufros Premium Tobacco shaving soap (tallow) sample
Feather AS-D2/Triad Brass Aristocrat XL
Super-Max Super Platinum Tiger (4)
Roger & Gallet L'Homme aftershave (vintage)

The Tobacco shaving soap required a lot of water and effort to produce good lather, but its skin care is great, and the fragrance is a really nice sweet tobacco one. This is probably my favorite of the Eufros samples I have been trying.

A bit late posting this as I was rushing out to see Rogue One last night but it was so good I thought I should regardless.

Lovely set up. Penhaligons is something to look into next year. Sartorial being the first thing I test.

What did you think of Rouge One? I loved it.

I have the Blenheim Bouquet Rob. On me it lasts about as long as a fart in the wind. I hope other Penhaligons fragrances have more staying power.

Wayne, you have such a lovely way with words.
I've read the same about the longevity. I'll probably buy a couple of samples and see how they performe on me.

Merry Christmas mate, have a good 'un.

The Lothair lasts reasonably well on me...

This is my first SOTD post, sporting some early Xmas gifts fresh from Spain, delivered by my lovely sister in-law, home for the holidays.
I've thoroughly enjoyed looking after the pass around Fatboy, it's be been a joy and a learning experience.

This evenings shave ritual consisted of:

A hot shower
La Toja shave stick
Semogue 620 brush
Astra SP blade
1959 Fatboy Razor
Alum Block (no feedback)
La Toja balm
Floid Vigoroso Aftershave

A lovely BBS shave, all ready for tomorrows merriments. Really enjoyed la toja products and my new brush is breaking in nicely. Not sure if the toja and floid scents really went together but they produced the desired smooth effect. Both have a big thumbs up from me.

Christmas Eve
​

Pre Shave: Hot Shower and Geo F Trumper Coral Skin Food
Razor: Ikon El Jefe + SE Handle
Blade: Kai Titan Mild Guard (#6)
Brush: Plisson Badger
Cream : Fitjar Islands Slåtterøy
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented
AS: Slåtterøy Gel

The Fitjar cream is amazing, a fantastically smooth and close shave, one minor weeper which is the first I have had with the El Jefe and this blade so I may have found the usable limit or I may have been too hurried!

Wishing all a wonderful Christmas.

One if not the best smelling balm out there.
