Got some samples of Aesop's stuff from Isetan's at KLCC [ Petronas Twin Tower Kuala Lumpur ] and gave it a try today.Didnt like the cream but love the Astringent and the Balm [no alcohol and frangrance],really suits me in this always summer climate.Sorry no pics until I go to the store [an 8 minutes drive] and bring home some Aesops.

Brush: Omega Boar
Soap/Creme: Cella, red tub
Razor: Racer
Blade: Astra SP
Pre: Shower and glycerin soap
Post: Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables creme-oil
Result: Good, better than I expected. I'd had somewhat poor results the first time I used a racer, but it has a dark green handle, so paired with my Cella soap it made for a good holiday razor. With the Astra Sp blade it gave a quick, easy, ccs to dfs.

I rehoned this Otto on my Nanawa's. Now i could get a great, smooth and irritation free shave from my Nortons. But i can feel a Huge improvement. Buttery smooth. Nirvana Shave!!!

Isn't back pain horrible? Though I've never had it as bad as that. I hope you get better soon...I know how debilitating it can be...
