First time with a Valet AutoStrop VC2 - what a smooth & mild shave - going to try a different blade tomorrow.

Valet AutoStrop VC2
PAL Carbon Blue GEM Blade (de-Spined)
Tcheon Fung Sing Granducato Toscano
BOTI 30mm Synthetic Brush
BRUT Splash
Williams Aqua Velva Aftershave

I really like the Aqua Velva lotion but I've been having trouble finding it again in the United States. Are you from the U.S.? If so do you know where to get more of it?

It looks like Target and Amazon have it. Don't scare me like that, Greg!

Mine is the heavy glass bottle Spanish version.  I got mine from Portugal and the dealer is no longer in business.
A quick search showed that Maggards has it.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Col Conk Amber Shave Soap
Jayaruh #447
Schick I Hydro-magic
Personna injector
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The Col Conk Amber Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #447 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick I Hydro-magic and Personna injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I see the Aqua Velva ice blue there. Which I see on store shelves frequently and also have and like very much. But I don't see the Spanish import Aqua Velva lotion which comes in a glass bottle. I love the import.

Yes that is the stuff I have. I will check Maggards. Thank you for the lead.


Confused Confused Confused. Edit. I just checked Maggards and they are sold out.
