How do you like the scent Clint? I think it is absolutely wonderful .
There's been some forum traffic about Gillette Nacet blades, so I thought I'd try one...
Pre-shave: Glyce soap wash / Myrsol Emulsion pre-shave cream
Shave: Phoenix & Beau Sanskrit / Unbranded synthetic brush / EJDE89/Braveheart Hybrid + Gillette Nacet (1)
Post-shave: Coal Tar soap wash / Cold water rinse + Alum / Proraso Green AS splash / Nivea Sensitive balm

The Nacet is a really good blade - instantly up there with my favourites: Voskhod and Personna. Really smooth 2-pass shave, no irritation or burn. Highly recommended! Have a good day!
Thanks Blackmass and +1 about the Nacet blades. Not sure who started talking about them in TSR (was in BM?) but I'm glad to hear about them. The brush was a nice surprise...I took a chance on it and it turned out to be an excellent replacement for the Razorock Plissoft that I knackeredLove the pot and brush. The Nacet blades are brilliant.
It was @Steve Bowles who reminded me about the Gillette Nacet blade in his post " best shave ever" and after reading what Steve had to say about them I ordered 25 of them from a UK seller on the bay, once I tried them I had to agree with what Steve had said and went ahead and ordered 500 of these little beauty's and have used nothing else since, not only are they sharper than my other faves the Astra SPs but just as smooth. They have been used in all of my DE razors and work fantastically in all of them.Thanks Blackmass and +1 about the Nacet blades.

The pot is a trinket pot that I re-purposed for shaving soap...I've built up a collection of ceramic pots specifically for my soaps...they just seem to go together, and this particular pot is based on an Asian design that seemed to be right for P&B 'Sanskrit'. I was thinking of featuring some more of them in SOTD posts, but tbh the one I like most is not mine...it's fancontroller's King of Hearts pot!
Well I guess it's your raving that made me notice them then. I ordered 25...I'm not sure I would like to tempt fate by ordering 500It was @Steve Bowles who reminded me about the Gillette Nacet blade in his post " best shave ever" and after reading what Steve had to say about them I ordered 25 of them from a UK seller on the bay, once I tried them I had to agree with what Steve had said and went ahead and ordered 500 of these little beauty's and have used nothing else since, not only are they sharper than my other faves the Astra SPs but just as smooth.

It's true I have been raving on about them ever since but can not take the credit for bringing them to our attention .
Thank you Steve for your post and reminding me about these fab blades.
I've just got 50 Astras to try; and they're great so far. 5 Nacets are en route for me to try. Something tells me they'll be good.Well I guess it's your raving that made me notice them then. I ordered 25...I'm not sure I would like to tempt fate by ordering 500
It was just pure economics that pushed me to order 500, at that price it was a no brainer and a good blade will still be a good blade even in two years time, I was prepared to pay the higher price for 25 blades from the UK vendor just to see if they were that good and they was. I expect he buys his by the 1000 and then splits them down.Well I guess it's your raving that made me notice them then. I ordered 25...I'm not sure I would like to tempt fate by ordering 500

Just checked out eBay and ordered 500 Nacets...I have a degree and post-grad in economics but I always listen to 'amateurs' when they make senseHa, very good, on form tonight GB lol.
When I receive the 500 blades I will use a few and report back but I'm sure all will be ok.Ha, very good, on form tonight GB lol.
