Shave of the Day Thread - 2022

[klinker]

How did you find it mate? Enjoy the Spitfire?

Love the Spitfire! The splash carries on the scent, but isn't overpowering.

No need for guilt, it's my fault for waiting so long




I've asked them to notify me when back in stock. Because it's alcohol based, I have to have it posted to a mate in Canada and she'll send it on to me.

I figured you had something worked out, or you wouldn't have tried to order from a U.S. vendor.

The last of this sample gone now. It was nice while it lasted. Not necessarily a scent that I would rush out and buy (I have not found one Chatillon Lux scent that I would) but the product performance is great.

It's a shame Italian Barber in Canada don't stock it as they have no problem posting splashes.

That's interesting.

That's interesting.

From memory, it was West Coast that put me on to them a few years ago. I've ordered a heap of alcohol based splashes and never had an issue.

Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: Personna GEM
Post-shave: Shower, Thayer's witch hazel w/- cucumber, homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+, Oxford & Cambridge cologne

First time with Acca Kappa (and what kind of a name is that? ) a real quality soap. I can see myself buying some of this when my other supplies run down a bit. A truly excellent lather.
Top Notes: lemon, bergamot, juniper, citrus accord
Heart Notes: aldehyde notes, cardamom, lavender, sweet woods
Base Notes:white musk, amber accord, cedar wood, musk

This sample should do me for quite a few days, so there will be a bit of repetition here for a while.

I find the Schick Krona too light for me, gives me too many nicks and cuts no matter what blade I used.

Gillette Platinum performs well in Krona for me.
