I don't mind at all Matt, you can also get it from a couple of other places online. It really is great stuff.
If you get the after shave you should look into getting one of their face care milk/lotion, both are excellent and match the mentholated feel of the aftershave.

OOOh, what a little sweet-heart.

Nice picture Tom! I´m happy for you, here we have - 5 celcius, but it´s actually rather hot compared to what we had the last month - if it stays under zero another two weeks, we have had the coldest period this time year since late 18th century Oh - package away from Sweden

Thanks Mikael!
I'm still awaiting the package.

I just sent it though ...

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest xtra stuffed two band
Razor: Henckels
Soap: Omega
AS: Mennen SB
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
I think I´m going German this week, yes, that´s what I´ll do a couple of more days anyway. Been a while since I used Omega, what a lovely cool menthol kick it gives

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: Proraso (Green)
Razor: Custom Gotta 120 5/8
A/S Balm: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave
A/S: David Craig Bay Rum
This Gotta has been out of the rotation for a couple of weeks. If you remember last time I mentioned that the scales were a little heavy and the tang was too smooth with no jimps. These made it difficult to strop and a little unbalanced to shave with. So, I've had it in the workshop and modified the tang. I also shaved a few millimetres off the bottom edge of the scales.
Tonight was the test run and it performed very well. 2 quick passes (it's 10pm here already) and I'm damn smooth. Couldnt resist slapping on some Bay Rum again tonight, love the stuff.

Enjoy your day Brothers.
Grant
