Not a lot to say. I enjoy this Grafton scent, but rarely use this cream. The brush and this cream were part of a gift set that I received long ago. The razor is another gift (from u/VisceralWatch) that I really should use more often. These little FBTs are terrific shavers.

Here are some photos of my collection of shaving stuff.

I have one of those from The VisceralWatch Store too. It took me a while to figure out you can screw the handle back on itself for storage!

Yeah, I got it by just fiddling with it when wondering why it was so small. But I made a flippant comment on how well the razor worked given its small handle when I published this photo knowing that I had this photo in the bag for the next day. VW was very concerned that I had used the razor with the handle collapsed :)
