* **Blade:** Astra - Superior Platinum. (3)

* **Lather:** Mastro Miche - Zihuatanejo.

* **Post Shave:** CeraVe- Moisturising lotion.

* **Post Shave:** Pino Silvestre - Original ASL.

Finally the Mastro Miche soap has succumbed and has lathered for the last time there was just about enough for the last shave which was good and close and the SpaCe was very good with the Astra on its 3rd use . Pino Silvestre,🌲 is great definitely a buy again.

Almost impossible to find the original here so was delighted to snag these two on Vinted.

* **Post Shave:** Bond- Tobacco, whiskey & cedar ASL.

Brought out the big Zenith boar to hasten the demise of the TFS yet it showed strong resistance and there is still a good few shaves there .

Two good passes with the slim and a nice boozy finish with the Bond ASL.

* **Post Shave:** Williams - Aqua Velva (French)

I must say I really enjoyed this shave for some reason the cologne/ chypre scent of the soap and the classic AV and the ever efficient Blackbird.

Definitely the penultimate shave with the Zihuatanejo soap and a fine shave it was, 2 very good passes with the BB and Astra a very good partnership . I'm really enjoying the Aqua Velva aftershave traditional and fresh.

There may be one more shave left in this smudge I received after this one it is very good and the scent is fresh and bright.

Two very good passes with the R41 it was remarkably smooth with the Astra blade and the Fanzine soap & of course it was super close . Orange empire for the finish is just right.

* **Blade:** Astra - Superior Platinum. (1)

* **Lather:** MDC - Vetyver sample.

* **Post Shave:** CeraVe- Moisturising lotion.

* **Post Shave:** Malizia- Uomo Vetyver .

This was an excellent shave on the nose as well as the skin and more conformation that old razors can deliver good shaves . This is the 7th use from the giant 10g MDC Vetyver sample and it keeps on giving the samples are worth buying if you want to commit to a big jar I think . The Malizia Uomo Vetyver was probably around the same price as the wee tub circa €5 and man I love this stuff and matches up well with the soap .
