Pretty sure it was Swedish member "Mikael" in TSR, in the good old days (2010-2012).
I got most of my Swedish straights off him, apart from the CVHs.

Just checked and appears to be no longer active, a pity!

If I can’t have Tabac April I’ll have Grooming Dept April instead

How did this slip through the net? Tabac???

My skin didn't like the Tabac - even though I really liked it

That's a shame, it is quite drying, a little like MdC, a little goes along way.

The drying wasn't a problem at all - it was fantastic and I liked the mild scent. It simply irritated my skin (redness and itching)

Pre: Shower , CeraVe face wash
Soap: Stirling Haverford
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia synthetic
Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
Blade: Gillette Nacet (6)
Post: Warm and cold water rinse, Boots Tea Tree & witch hazel
AS: Stirling Island man balm

A fantastic shave today. After my mail call from Top Of The Chain, I've been using my newly acquired soaps and balms over the past few days.​

The scent on Haverford is stunning, I think it very closely resembles the Tom Ford it is based on. Unfortunately I didn't buy the matching balm (I'll be buying this in the near future) so went with the island man (as is not used it yet). The scent on this is of summer holidays - coconut, lime - my wife said it smells like a cocktail. The more I use Stirling products, the more I like them! Face is feeling soft, smooth and smelling great. Have a fine afternoon gents

​

Excellent write up my friend, thoroughly enjoyed the read and font. Agree 100 percent on Stirling products! Try the Electric Sheep, the performance alone will shock you. Pun intended

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus High Mountain White Badger
Soap: Calani Oriental Plum
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Sticky
Blade: NOS London Bridge (2)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Penhaligon's Castile

First use of the Calani Oriental Plum soap. A beautiful scent - sweet fruit balanced with spicy tobacco. I now understand why this scent is revered by many shavers.
The lather was also excellent - easy to build, persistent, and lovely cushioning and glide.
Three passes for a DFS+, and I'm grinning .
