Gillette English Flare Tip SuperSpeed
Derby blade
SR 3122 silvertip
Trumper Sandalwood soap
Musgo Real A/S splash

Floris Sandalwood EDT

The Trumper sandalwood soap and the Floris sandalwood go quite well together - different takes on the sandalwood - the Trumper is not a single note, but is a nice soft woody/powdery scent that compliments the Floris sandalwood (which is a dry, soft, "true" sandalwood) wonderfully.
