Brush: Ever Ready 200
Soap: Haslinger
Razor: Aristocrat #15
Blade: Astra SP
Post: APR Mycroft

This may well be the best shaving DE that I have. If only they had made an open comb, rhodium plated, adjustable, Fat Boy!
Have a great weekend.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Alt Innsbruck Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus High Mountain White Badger
Soap: I Coloniali
Razor: Schick Injector Type L2 Grip
Blade: Schick Injector P-30 (2)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel / Alt Innsbruck Emulsion
Scent: Boellis Panama 1924

Only a two day growth, which was much more suitable for the Schick Injector razor. Three passes for a DFS+. I'm thinking that one of these razors would make a fine daily driver.
Hadn't used the I Coloniali soap for a while, and forgot what a wonderful soap it is. A thirsty vegetable-based Italian soap which rewards the user with dense fragrant lather with excellent glide, cushion and slickness. Unlike many vegetable soaps, it has very respectable residual slickness, and is a pleasure to use.

Pre: Pb Pre Shave Emulsion
Soap: Pb Lemon Myrtle, Lanolin & Wormwood
Brush: Semogue 1305
Razor: Rocnel Elite
Blade: Bic (1) Compliments of @RustyBlade (y)
Post: Jojoba Oil
Really nice combo this morning. Pulled out the HG for a warm lather shave. Lather looked rubbish in the scuttle but once lathered and painted on the face was great.
The Bic blades are one of a few blades that fit comfortably in the Elite. This is the first time I've used a Bic and was very pleasantly surprised. Very efficient but more comfortable than the Feather. I might have to buy a hundred. Interested in others opinions of the Bic. I had seen them whilst shopping for blades but passed them by due to associations with the carts.
I'm getting a little frustrated with the mildness of the Elite but having said that I achieved BBS with my normal number of passes so I'm thinking 'shut up and shave'.

AS these are my most used soaps (i.e. the ones with less ammount to finish them) I bring them to the Craddle mountains to give them a constant use for a few days :)

Sorry, some lather

Understood, I'm going to push the Vintage Wilkinson Sword Stainless Super Sword-Edge a little bit more to around 15 or 16, because I don't feel any tugging at the moment up to #12 which I'm still amazed about the Vintage Wilkiy.

@Mark1966 and @Nightguard ;):happy: I must have MOAR!! :sneaky::whistle:

Massive thanks to Dan for gifting me this soap. Treated it it similar to B&M reserve line to lather, but end product was much creamier. Can’t fault any aspect of performance, really top shelf and maybe best post shave yet. I haven’t looked up scent notes, but get Pine from the tub (and not much else tbh). However when lathered it opens up a lot more and get something flowery (no idea as my nose isn’t well trained but thinking Geranium type scent) and some faint citrus (limey to me). I think you could use year round in Qld, but would be great in Spring/Autumn.
