Have a glorious day!
It still is and it is still available if looking around.
I also have a "Bleu Marine pour lui" but it is very difficult to track down, so I don't use it too often.

Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette Rocket HD
Blade - Personna Platinum Chrome (#3 and most definitely out for good!)
Brush - Vulfix 404 handle / Omega 10810 knot
Soap - Arko soap & cream / Glycerine
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS
Thought I'd finally found the perfect partner for the chrome tonight but alas, 'twas not to be! I think I only ever had proper irritation and razor burn twice before with DE but this is *DEFINITELY it right now! I was really careful given the previous results with blade. My verdict therefore is I don't like these blades, as bad as they were the first time around so the lot will be going pronto!
Finally got around to re-knotting a very kindly PIF'd Vulfix 404 with my Omega 10810. The original loft was supposed to be 50mm but it was more like 55mm. It's set at 50mm now and it's turned what was a good brush into a great brush. Could well replace my favourite Omega 20106 as my regular! I'm not a face-latherer but this would be perfect I imagine. Once I've my second blade trial over, I'll be giving it a go though.
*Update - worst result ever with DE, MUCH worse than my first! AGONY!!!
