Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney Stubby 2 Porcelain Finest (24/50)
Floris Elite shaving cream (vintage)
Weber DLC/UFO U2V1 Brass
Gillette Platinum 'Swede' (17)
Floris Elite aftershave (vintage)
Wonderful. Although a thin film of lather is perfectly adequate for its purpose, I truly enjoy the appearance and feel of really thick, rich lather, and the vintage Elite cream provides that. I don't know of anything else with a fragrance similar to that of Elite. When I first tried the modern version of Elite, I didn't like it; it seemed harsh and metallic. But the vintage formulation is much more complex, and I like it a lot.
