Yardly No. 2055 from 1921-1933 ?
There's no way of being certain that the lid is original, but the Royal Warrant is for HM the King (George VI) which according to a timeline I found starts from 1949. Their labels changed in 1952 when the King died. I have a tub of different design with the Warrant reading "The Late King George VI", so that sort of pins it down to within 3 years.

It's old but it's good... :smug:

Pre-shave: Hot flannel, Pears soap
Brush: Troycraft "Opalesque" 28mm AP G5C
Soap: St James Cedarwood & Clarysage
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather Professional Super
Post-shave: Shower, St James Cedarwood & Clarysage Post-shave Gel, homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+
COTD: Kawah Ijen, Java

First time with this cream and balm. Definitely the softest cream I've ever used. I stuck my brush into it and it went right to the bottom, so I was way overloaded, but whatever... 🤷

This blade hasn't lasted the course though. I usually expect 7 shaves from most AC blades, but this one pegged out at 5. :(

Is that a new bottle of the Chypre Rose Concerto? You clearly like it a lot :) Sometimes I miss my tub of the soap, but other times it was a bit too much. I still have the tub, it's now holding self-drilling screws. I reckon these are the nicest-smelling screws on the planet. :LOL:

yeah mate.. I found this online for $20 ages ago and scooped it up, glad I did as I don't mind the scent and my other bottle just ran out.. It isn't a natural rose like the MdC scent but still a nice Rose scent and I love the menthol in it.

I enjoy using SJOL when I just want a guaranteed decent lather with minimal effort.
