Greetings,

It's been long time since i last used the Proraso sandalwood soap, i forgot how much of a good protective lather this in-expensive soap produces. Superb!...I'll also have to add the Proraso white to my soap rotation too, it's wonderful sibling, which i haven't gave much attention for quite a while either..Shame on me!.

Another wonderful performance from the Ever Ready 1914, It's quite remarkable how smooth & efficient these vintage razor perform,I thank @patw yet again for kindly passing on the 1912(USA) to me,I'll be truthfully honest if it wasn't for him i would never had shaved with a vintage SE razor,"they didn't appeal to me",what a pleasurable experience i would have missed out on, if that were the case, after 3 passes my face was BBS with no errors to report...

I may even consider using one for my monthly head shave,.which i'll be doing soon,that's how comfortable my confidence is shaving with one of these beautifully made efficiently smooth shaving SE vintage ladies.

Finishing the shave off with a few generous squirts of Oud 24 Hours EDP to the pulse points.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

Meissner Tremonia Wild Oranges Shaving Paste
BBA Post Shave Balm


A week of orange shaves, I am enjoying the paste, usually I scoop out a fingernail size amount but am experimenting with loading directly, it does eat the stuff up but the lather is faultless. It is nice to enjoy the product over a weeks worth of use. I am rotating brushes daily and this week sticking to DE's and swapping each razor when I change blade, Polsilver blades and Yaqi DOC for the past three days and from today the Gillette Tech and Voskhod until Sunday.

Also starting back using balms daily from this week,nearly finished this bottle of BBA Post Shave Balm, good stuff but don't wear a white t shirt with it! ​

Another day another new to me French soap and this time it's one I've purchased and it didn't come cheap.
Okay it did, very cheap in fact, £2.20 for 125g.
Okay, okay I had to buy some other things to make the postage worthwhile and I'd never eaten Rillettes before so what the hell! As I always say: in for some soap in for some slow cooked shredded meat.
Okay, okay, okay, I've never said that before in my life but you get the idea.
Well I'm very impressed with the soap and the Rillettes are delicious so money well spent, a face well shaved and a palate delighted.
Talking of money well spent, the Epsilon ASL is very nice indeed, thanks for the tip @Blackmass
