Soap; Yardley, Vintage Green label.

Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave
; Very nice 2 pass & touch-up shave, slick and smooth from the Vintage Yardley. The Chubby has had a couple dozen uses now and 3 hairs shred so far, very happy with this ‘’lather monster’’. The Gillette with the Bic blade combo is probably my preferred to date. Cold water face wash followed by the No2, lovely!!
