Post your current rotations here.
Hit my shaving.ie box tonight, and broke out the new Trumper Violets tube, and added a Gillette Platinum Classic (aka White Platinum), and my yet-to-be-shaved-with NEW. Also from today's delivery was my Alt Innsbruck aftershave lotion sampler.
Bowl-lathered a good nugget of the Violets. Creamy, slick lather and lots of it delivered by the Muhle Pure Badger. Pleasing floral scent but not overpowering, nicely controlled. Very impressed with the protection afforded by the lather.
I have to say, the NEW shaved beautifully but I found it hard to keep the angle right and not let the open comb leave lines of lather on my face..... whoops. Weighted in the head more than the handle tended to give me balance problems also but I can get used to that.
The White Plat did an admirable job, in fact after the WTG pass I didn't feel like going any further. I feel it is very comparable to a Dark Platinum, however I wish to test one in the same razor and see how that compares. That said I do like the blades. Not liking the price - I spent well over $1/blade for these.
Now, the Al Innsbruck. What a nice scent. Little bit stingy due to a bit of alcohol and menthol, but that does go after 15 seconds. A nice lotion this, definitely worth the few dollars for the sampler. I possibly used too much, feels greasy afterward, but my face feels moisturised.
