just spent a week in Paris, and managed to find some Gillette Bleue Extra... I didn't find them as sharp as GSB's, but man, they are smooth.. Now, Envy.... right from the get go I've had high hopes for this soap, and guess what? It did not disappoint! Lush, slick, great protection... This was one of those shaves where everything just clicked, to provide a shave that has you thinking to yourself that it really doesn't get any better than this... finished off with Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve, and PG02 Cozé, yes, it really doesn't get any better than this... I've just two things to say to conclude this review.. firstly, the next time I visit Paris I'll be buying more GBE's, and secondly, I cannot wait until the next release from 'The Seven Collection'.... which has easily made it's way into my 'Top Tier' soaps.. colour me happy!

Chiseled Face Zoologist Civit soap, Moon and Stars two band badger brush, Johan Engström 6/8 straight, Pitralon Polar aftershave.

Two passes and a workmanlike shave. The Engström was surprisingly sharp out of the box, but I should have stropped it before hand.

This razor is new to me. The Engström factory closed down in 1917 after Johan died, so the blade is no younger than that, but it's more probably from the late 1800's. I love how if you take care of them, these old beauties just last and last. I'll be sure to do my part so the grandkids, if they want, can enjoy it too.

Really nice shave, there.   How does the Anacolica compare with the AdP Colonia?  Are they similar?  I'm very familiar with Colonia, but not Anacolica.  The only SMN I own is Tabacco Toscano.

I think the Emulsione Anacolica compliments Acqua Di Parma nicely. It has a sharp citrus scent to me, doesn’t last very long, but is one of the best aftershaves I have.

Next month I’m going to Florence and definitely will pick up some Toscano Aftershave and Shave Cream.
