Treet in a Slant
I used a new Treet Blue Special in my Slant this morning, with the expected result: an extremely smooth shave. The soap was a shave stick from Boots the Chemist, thanks to a reader abroad, and I used the Simpsons Duke 3 Best shaving brush—quite similar to the Chubby 1 Best, though I think I like the Duke a little better.
Very smooth shave, and finished with Royall Spyce aftershave. A good start to the day.

How did you find the Boots shaving stick? I recently bought a tube of their cool cologne shaving cream and was surprised how good it was considering the rock-bottom price. I have not tried the shaving soap/stick though.

A reader abroad sent me one of the Boots shaving sticks (along with some Boots and Tesco blades). It’s quite a good soap.
