The prices are average in UK, but, NOT in Australian dollars, plus shipping cost as well. :eek:

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap.
Jayaruh #119 Synthetic
Gillette NEW Short Comb
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Musk

The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #119 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette NEW Short Comb Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
