Depends on which Erasmic. Bowl and cream are both fantastic. The stick is pretty bad but can be made to work.

Yup, should have mentioned Palmolive, Wilkinson and Erasmic shave sticks. B&M bowl which I tried this PM will be donated to eldest grandson and I'll keep lathering my Arko.

@SpeedyPC one of these days, I'll have to try the general.

It seems to be universally loved!!

@SpeedyPC have one on order too. Now need blade and handle recommendations.

What do you have in the post right now?

Some great info from @Draco Noir about blades and the General mate

 

[RustyBlade]

Thank you @SpeedyPC & @Korbz (@Draco Noir ). Wish there were sampler packs out there for injector blades.
Opinion on Ted Pella blades if used?

Nobody, shaving or otherwise has better, more enjoyable packaging to open than The Stray Whisker.

The haul for today. Tomorrow should be APR day thanks to @todras getting to the post office very early this morning. Thanks again.

Nice choices, Rhapsody is my favourite B&M next to Cologne Russe

Rhapsody is not what I expected at all. I expected sweet and fruity and its not to my nose at all. The dry down on the splash is amazing. I had basically written it off until @Monsta_AU described it to me on the weekend. Lavanille is very confusing to me. I dont really understand what it's trying to be. Solarion smells like sunscreen to me, in a good way. Very summer and beach. Dickens, I want to eat. It's a very enjoyable scent to me. Gourmand I believe would be the correct terminology.
I have Cologne Russe in coming, eventually.
Now today's stuff is here, I can move my excitement to tomorrows goodies. I have no idea what to expect and that's exciting.

I think Lavanille is a cracker - give it a try - definitely a winter scent. leather/ old/ books/ dark chocolate/ smoke... a cowboys cabin.

I'm literally carrying it around the house with me.

Nice one @Itsonlyblood ! You took the plunge with the Solarion too.

 

[Mark1966]

Hmmm, I can't recall another order from The Stray Whisker ...



That doesn't look like the pristine packaging of @shavetheman either!

Oh yes, a recycled (three times now it looks like) box of joy from @nsavage !

I'm not sure how different 'Russian Leather' is from other leather but I suppose I, and the PCTB5 will find out ...

Thanks Nick
