Paste & Cut Travelling Box #3 - Reviews and Comments

Oh FFS!
FF has crashed thrice now in attempting to post this :(
 
Slip Original Source Limes, Dove bar or Shaver Heaven - The Teller; Simpsons Polo 8 in Best or Plisson Synth, applying the Dr Jons in the box.
Sharp Schick Injector with unknown blade.
Soothe Myrsol Antesol or Faena Citrus.
 
Am posting in a deliberately fragmented method to prevent having to type out everything again if FF crashes... again!
Love the Shaver heaven bath soaps, the teller grew upon me and quickly too.
I thought from it's description, it wouldn't be for me, how wrong I am!
Dr Jons has little scent to me beyond why I identify as it's base formula notes, as they're very similar to what's in my Hydra.
It didn't perform as well as my Hydra does though, weird.
Schick Injector is a no go.
It improved with experience with it, yet so did the Gem, which out shaved it at every stage.
 
Myrsol and Faena are likely future purchases.

What I gained from this experience, is a realisation that since inception of shaving in my life, it's almost exclusively,bar the last few years, been electric face mutilators.
Due to this, my technique and thus I suck at this gig.
Yet I enjoy the scents, building mountains of lather, the masculine aspect of grooming with deadly implements and the pursuit of perfection.
I do have to admit that I do note improvements since the last box.
Progress is a positive and I'm sticking with this until I run out of soap/blades or brushes, so I'll be around for a while :p

I am going to take the chance to finalise this journey, by thanking those that contributed and @Mark1966 for administering this.
I sincerely appreciate each and every one of your contributions towards this :)

@SydBJW I do believe that it's only fair that since I usurped you, this reverts back to you.
Expect to hear from me soon mate and enjoy :)

BTW, I added something for the tail end of this box and a few future one's at that :)
 
Forgot to mention that I also tried the Floid Vigoroso (sp).
Stale elderly urine and broken dreams is what the scent reminds me of.
No thanks, even despite workable menthol content.
 
I have the Box! Many thanks to a hand delivery by @SydBJW yesterday.

I've had a quick rifle through and have a few goodies to try. It's great having such a large selection of soaps, aftershaves and even razors! Many thanks to @Mark1966 for putting it together.

First shave with 'ingredients' from the P&C Travelling Box.

The Shaving Shop Casablanca - This is apparently The Shaving Shop's "Signature Scent" which consists of "Cavendish, Arabian Rose, Smoke, Saffron and a Touch of Honey". Certainly pleasant to my nose! I bowl-lathered some and it gave a good shave. Not as protective as others, but not too bad. I probably could have worked in more water for a slicker shave as well. Like most soaps made by PAA/Crown King that I have used, the scent is strong and hangs around a little post-shave.

Aesop balm - officially it is called "Moroccan Neroli Post-Shave Lotion". Kind of gives an idea of the scent profile. I found it a bit thicker and slower to absorb into the skin in comparison to my personal Gold Standard (TSW ASB - available VERY soon I hear!!!). Overall not bad, but I like other balms more. :whistle:

I've been sick so haven't gotten to that many goodies. I'm handing it over tonight so hopefully you'll get more reviews.

It's got an amazing assortment of gear here! I've used a fair bit already (does that me a veteran?!?) but if I hadn't tried some of this gear I'd be like a kid in a lolly shop!

Oh, and an apology - well, more of an admission of fault - to @khun_diddy and @alfredus as I got my "types" of Schick injectors muddled up. I haven't tried an L type so I shouldn't criticise it! I don't know what I used (perhaps an M type?!?) but if the one in the box is an L type then I haven't *yet* used it. It turns out I DO have one, but I just haven't used it yet...

Yep - an OLD MAN in shaving terms :)

Hopefully some things that are new to you.

Thanks. I certainly am now... *Phew*
(A recent shave took over 4 days of growth in 2 passes! I'm lovin' the #77 paired with a vintage blade!)
