Razor: Vintage Gillette Slim Adjustable (7)
Blade: Vintage NOS Wilkinson Sword 'Frenchie' (1)

So nice to be home - but obviously out of touch with my DE and I nicked myself on the first pass - who put that Adams Apple in the way!

I've decided that for me at least this month will be Squadron Soap September, I'm going to use my Squadron Soap exclusively this month. Well, except when I'm traveling. Which is most of the month :( Still, will be a good opportunity to remind myself of just how good this stuff is.

I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but would some cheap safety razor not be a better option for travel than the cartridge you use?

It is not the razor, it is the DE blade. For some reason they don't like me traveling with them in my carry on.

I pretty much only take carry on and try to pack light. I'm off to Europe for two weeks next Friday and the only thing that might stop me going with just carry on is that I've got to take business attire for a conference and meetings and more casual stuff for a couple of days tripping afterwards. Smart casual will probably not cut it.

That's fair enough, I didn't take into account their carry-on policies.

Very happy, with several metric tons of lather :). While being quite different both scents, I am super happy with the output, and now I smell so good :)
