- Aussie Spoiler 1984 E-2
- Classic Edge Old Barbershop

Shave Report: The Australian made BHS cream is not well known but it performs as well as any of the other creams around IMO, also great value available from "therazorshop" in 250gm and 500gm tubs. The scent is a generic citrus, powdery, barbershop aroma with above average scent strength. Lovely clean smooth DFS from the Romulus AC razor, probably another shave or two left in the P30 blade.

The Gear:​

  • Pre Shave: Tricare Goat’s Milk Bar Soap [A]
  • Brush: Fuko Shaving “Triffid” with 26/58 Cashmere [A]

My six-year-old Cella red tub has glycerine and still has adeps bovine (tallow), nothing has changed in the new version when the old formula Cella red tub changed many years ago, and still a great soap to have in the den.
