After seeing the above image, does anyone recall Shulton's Oriental Spice. I do remember it from my youth, but didn't recall the scent. In fact I did get AI to recreate an image.

Sometimes you need a retro shave to remind you why.

Wilkinson TTO razor
Treet silver carbon steel blade
Noxema sensative skin shaving cream
Mennen Skin Bracer original aftershave

Warm shower prep with Dial soap

This more or less was my set up through most of my military service. I did three passes and still not bbs. Without the brush lifting and surrounding each whisker with lather it just isn't as close a shave. Hopefully tomorrow will be a calmer day.

9.9/10 - A great DFS+ from the usual suspects*.

New Suneko today, and it was very smooth for a first shave.
