Very nice shave with the Eclipse and vintage Wilky (compliments of @Mark1966 ). Haven't had a bad shave yet with the Eclipse but the Nacet still reigns supreme so far for me for this razor.
Some time ago I did a collaboration with my daughter on a hand soap. She named it Storm Rose (scented Rose, Black Pepper, Lime & Patchouli) and it turned out beautifully and was received very well as gifts to friends and family. A request came back for a candle in Storm Rose which the candle in the image shows the test run. It's an 85mm Bees Wax pillar and had it burning for a couple of hours yesterday and it filled the house with the deep rose scent.:)

Soap/Cream:- Declaration Grooming ~ Gratiot League Square

My very first shave with the Gillette Red Tip E1 1959, all I can say is HOLY COW!!! :wideyed: this razor feels smooth and aggressive, not a single irritation or weepers anywhere throughout the whole shave.

Back to my high rated shaves with zero complications.

Still not sure how many liters of water can be hold in these soaps.... after many hydratation, it was as dense as nothing else...

Hey @no47 are you enjoying the Fatboy - great razor for 60+ years old....

Jury still out on that one....not sure if I like it more or less than the Rockwell 6S....probably like both a lot but for different reasons (if that makes sense). early days yet though, only two shaves in and still messing with the dial to find 'my' shave point.

Had to double check your A/S image to clarify what type of lotion it was :LOL:
On that, what is your feedback on it compared to most.

It's an excellent, every day aftershave. Burn is light and it feels great on the face. Only downside for me is the scent, it's a bit different to most Nivea products but still similar. Clean and clinical but at under $10.00 at Chemist Warehouse I think it's great.

@Nightguard yeah the scents aren't strong and benign but fresh and clean. I've got the Two phase which burns nicely (early summer use) and sounds similar in scent though gathering the performance is similar?

Yes. Performance is similar but I find the Two phase very greasy and somewhat sticky. Not for me. Scent is similar but the Deep Comfort is definitely different, more masculine to my nose.

Nailed it, yeah the Two phase is too greasy hence spring to early summer use. Like its burn but way too oily for summer use hence it lives at the back of the cupboard.
