My wife found an Old Spice gift set with the large after shave and small cologne glass bottles at a thrift store - both bottles were full and the box looked pretty new. I took these with me on the trip. :001_smile
 
I decided to dig out my proraso shave soap from the back of the cupboard, and I found that one of the first wet-shaving products I bought can still give a great shave.

EJ super badger
Merkur HD, with gillette swede
Proraso soap
Proraso ASB

I decided not to got the whole way and use my first set-up with my boar hair brush and gillette fusion. Maybe tomorrow...

Despite my great back to basics budget shave today, my AD's are catching up on me. I just caught my self looking at a couple of silvertip brushes the other day:eek:.

Ps. I have just noticed that Ron is very near the big 5k mark. Thanks for all you have contributed so far.

Thanks for noticing. Proraso and summer time go very well together!
