Lord is the big manufacturer here, (DE and Blades), which I think you can get in UAE. I was hoping to get out to the Antique stores last night, but there were extensive road closures and I couldn't get out. I'll try again tonight, but they are calling for a very large demonstration today, we'll see. I have 2 more days work here, then hopefully back to Doha Thursday morning.

Razor: Bengal (with one "L"!?) cast steel in non original scales
Superlather: Henks Dutch Moss + Irish Moos

Another incredible shave from the JC! I hadn't used the Saigon in quite some time, so it jumped to the top of the rotation. I'm very happy I grabbed it. The vetiver and lemongrass really makes for a wonderful combination. The lather was incredible and the den smelled so perfect! The blade wiped away the stubble. I was only going to do one pass (was DFS+), but spaced out and before I realized it, I was on a second pass leaving me CBS! The VCA is a bit feminine, and I'm still trying to find the oud. Nonetheless, I'm ready to take on the world!
This is another razor that doesn't come out enough. It belonged to my Grandfather (Pa)
Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Brush: Silvertip Badger
Soap: Col Conk's Bay Rum
DE: Pa's Gillette Tech with Feather Blade
Toner: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
Just a quick head shave tonight.
I definitely used my last feather blade to many times, the brand new one is an amazing contrast.
So good in fact that after 1 pass and a few touch ups, my melon is clean and shiny smooth.

I like it yes, not as a daily scent, but it could be a signature scent , not for me, I like the changes,...For me it's something like the earl greys tea, and some citrics with sandalwood. It don't last as I expect from an EdT of this house, I have to use a double amount of Duel to keep the scent more time on me. It's pleasant and modern. But a bit expensive knowing that the duration is short
I prefer the color picture, but both are very nice. The razor is a beauty.
