Robert, nice picture!
Lyrt, I have to build one of those light boxes ASAP! I generally like to freehand my shots without a tripod, since I use a prime lens, I find a tripod a bit cumbersome. I bounce my flash off the ceiling usually. Some days work out better than others!

Hello Sergio,
Yes, it is a Gillette long-handle ladies' DE in a gold motif. They also come in blue (most common), pink and sometimes silver.
They have the same head geometry as the Gillette Knacks and SlimTwists, which I like and which give me the best shaves.
Cheers,
Richard

Sergio: Sadly, I can't compare the Arlington milk to the regular milk, because I've never tried the regular. In trying to scrounge up bottles of the old formula, I've only come across the Arlington.
I will say this: the balm's fragrance is faithful to the Arlington scent. It fades quite quickly, so I don't hesitate to use it with any other fragrance.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If anyone would like to give me a bottle of the basic old formula milk, I'll be happy to do additional research!

Sergio, The old formula Arlington Milk works identically to the old regular version. Only the scent is different, and that fades quickly in any case.

Except for ISD, this has been the Shave of the Week.
Gotta love The Fidelity Post: today's shave was faster and better than Tuesday's,
although now I think The Body Shop cream actually smells like sandalwood
