MailCall Postman been twice today now (yes the mind boggles)
??B&M Nordost Set.
The scent is super strong so should last a while on the skin... The massive 200ml EdC should outlast the soap by 10/1 I'd say...
Muhle Rocca R96 Jet Black.
Happy Shaves To All

Aylsworth Drakkant Ti Looks very nice indeed! Love the stand for it as well, hope it performs as well as it looks.

1947 Gillette Super Speed
This razor is gorgeous for its' age and as smoothly as it operates had to have been "tuned up". Has a few dark spots I think will polish out but I'm not worried about it. Sanitized it of course just to be on the safe side. Looked up the blade gap and believe it should be 0.025 inches. Blade gap on this razor appears to be 0.022 inches on all 4 corners. I don't have a 0.023 feeler gauge but could not get a 0.024 into it. First shave was fantastic and slightly milder than my 1955 Gillette Super Speed that is set at 0.025 inches blade gap. I'm a happy camper!

TLDR; Don't buy this bottle from India if on offer from scambay.
Sauntering down shave-related aisle in the local supermarket I carved for something familiar (been using Adidas AS for a while) and remembering my NOS Old Spice is stashed away in my hometown, I picked up this 100 ML travel pack.
To warn everyone who cares to read. This is vile stuff in the present iteration. My earlier brush with Old Spice was 3 years back when P&G became the brand owner. The alcohol content was so high that it set my skin on fire. Presently, it is low on alcohol but very greasy (Castor oil is one of the ingredients mentioned on the pack) and it smells something entirely different and far removed from that high alcohol bottle; which itself was a mere shadow of the original formula. Frustrating, why does the change have to be for worse.

With all the meds I am now on and my what is now heart condition I thought this may be a good idea. Went for The titanium Version.
