How are you liking the TGR unscented balm?

It is a very good balm. I am going to put a review in when I'm done with the samples (scented and unscented).

• I like to have this balm follow an alcohol based splash, especially this one as it's not terribly soothing.
• The lavender scent is very light (for the Standard). I wish it was a bit stronger (but would still fade as quickly as this does)
• Where this balms stands out for me is as a very quickly absorbing moisturizer. It is astounding how well this stuff absorbs into the skin compared to any other balm I've used, leaving nothing behind. Great stuff for the winter months.

Thats a beautiful blade you got there Henry. Thats my dream razor - a 7/8 or 8/8 Wostenholm IXL Wedge. Thanks for sharing the pic.

I agree! I was wondering if it was in natural condition or restored? My IXL wedge is a great shaver but has way less eye appeal.

It is in its original condition. The lighting in the picture hides a few blemishes nicely. The pressed horn scales are nearly pristine, however.
