It's the Prada EdT. Got it together with the matching balm at Helsinki International Airport y'day. A very nice fragrance, and as far as the Prada balms are concerned, I can tell you they're very nice, this is the second I've had from the brand. One issue is that you gotta be careful and consume them in a couple of years, the other I had went bad after that time.

One more acquisition was the Sienna shave soap. There's a girl on eBay UK, she's got some C&E and Floris NOS stuff and sells them at good prices. Cost me a fortune though to get them from the UK...

Oh - forgot the Semogue. Got it used from a friend over at TSR, first shave was today. Nice backbone and pretty good weight overall. Better than my 1250 which I had PIFed last year.

Awesome shave today for me. Got to sleep in today and enjoy a slow and relaxing shave. Robert was very kind and generous to send me a sample of MDC to try, and from the looks of todays shave and how little i used I should have enough for a weeks worth of shaves easily!! Thanks again Robert. The MDC is as expected an amazing soap, I usually dont like Lavender scented soaps/creams but the MDC is mild in Lavender and is very pleasing to my nostrils :) Used the Henk for a sure fire great shave and I am BBS all the way.

GREAT SHAVES FROM EVERYONE TODAY AND YESTERDAY!!!!!!

I had to go with the W&B tonight followed by Old Spice, dont get much more blokey than that.
2 passes for a DFS. Time to kick back and relax.

Sometimes when I look at your shots I ask myself, why do I even bother with posting in the SOTD threads:)
I am in awe!
Pure art, that's what this is!
