I got this Beautiful Japanese Hamilton 6/8th in the Post Today..These are the Sellers pics as I cant get my Ruddy phone to down load today..Playing Funny Buggers..These Pics actually don't to it any Justice..I spoke to Jamie about it & he reckoned the Heel wasn't standard like that..He is correct..Its been ground off for whatever reason but I am delighted with it as it looks good like that & been done properly..:)

I had my Maiden Shave with it today...Three passes and a near all over BBS..The seller has done a great job because its very smooth indeed..The smoothest SR I have at the moment..Its very quiet this One..Its like a Ninja with very little Feedback..Very Nimble & Agile this Razor..Very Manoeuvrable Indeed..I am over the Moon with it..I like it a lot..In Fact I am really taken by it..:D

Ah, Gucci Envy. I'm so envious you have this. What a bloody shame this classic fragrance was discontinued. I really loved this one in my twenties!

Envy is a big favourite of mine. I've been a bit out of the loop and only just found out it is discontinued. Gutted.
Sadly I think my bottle is a bit past its best, there seems to be some particles floating in it :(
It still smells OK though.
I've been looking into alternatives to try as I feel like I need to keep it for special occasions now.
 
Prep: Nannies Pre-shave Soap (Old Grey Bristle Test)
Razor: Aristocrat #16
Blade: Treet Durasharp (carbon steel)
Brush: Edwin Jagger 25mm Synthetic
Soap: La Saponeria Artigiana Almond
Post 1: Witch Hazel
Post 2: Gillette Anti Irritation Moisturiser

Two days worth of growth to deal with so out came the #16. At 84g including the solid base plate it made short work of my stubble, in fact my face this evening is still very smooth. The much maligned Treet blade did a very decent job too. I leave my razor when its loaded with one of these blades in a warm dry place and can get 4 good shaves.

I remember the floating particles being a common complaint with the original Envy formulation. Doesn't sound like its changed the scent or performance.
