[Areler67]

One tube of Kappus Aloe Vera SC + 1 pack of Wilkinson economie (12 blades)

[atskuv]

Yep that's my starter kit :smile: except for the blade sampler pack from west coast that will arrive soon.

I'm a firm believer in doing lots of research and than buying the best products for the best price that you can afford.It keeps down on the extras that you always seem to accumulate as you keep upgrading your stuff!!

But I still can't get my SWMBO to understand why I needed to change to a $50 brush and $50 in soaps (so far :biggrin: - yeah I probably got AD) to shave with when she knows I only need to shave twice a week and have been doing fine shaving with 2 bottles of Kiss my face and a mach3 for the last 9 years.LOL

That's your problem. If you shave 6 days a week you will be consuming 3 times the product. Seems justified to me. :biggrin:

What soap is first at bat?

It was Bathtub Gin this morning and will be TOBS Lavender tomorrow. Next will be DR Harris Arlington and then some Trumper's.

It the Rooney continues to perform as it did this morning, my Simpson's Chubby may be in for the fight of its life.

Imperial "The Improved Eagle" straight razor that I'm going to give a full restoration to with new scales and everything.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/MCsommerreid/12e0_3.JPG.jpg

I've managed to entirely remove the rust, and the majority of the pitting. Looks a million times better.

Been to Maastricht (Holland) today and guess what I found???? :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
Proraso products, everything / pre shave cream, can, shaving soap, green et red tube of shaving cream!!!! The guy told me that he will receive Floïd after shave next month! He also asked me if I was Italian because I bought some of this products (Pre shave cream, SC in a can and a green bowl of shaving cream) . I found that in a drug store. He also got a full range of Tabac and Pivert products. Also a full range of Omega brushes.
I've been also at Lush and bought razorantum shaving cream.
oups, I forgot to say thank you to BroJohn for the nice 1912 GEM junior I just received. Thanks again!

I just picked one of these up today. Improved Eagle Razor. Looks just like this one, but with a little less rust. Has yours been a good shaver?
