Still going strong with the Windsor soap. Today I tried something slightly different, only painting the brush to build a lather on my face. Not something that is hugely different of course, but still made slick lathery goodness!

The 6S was paired with the 2 plate and the 4th use of a Gillette platinum. I find this plate one of the best for buffing.
 

  1. Preshave: Mama Bear's Eucalyptus glycerin shave soap
  2. Razor: eBay nondescript straight
  3. Soap: Simpsons cream - peppermint and rosemary
  4. Brush: Simpsons Chubby 2 Super Badger
  5. Postshave: Jojoba oil
  6. Earworm: The Ride - Joan As Policewoman
Very enjoyable first outing with the Chubby. However, I must admit to being slightly in a rush, which is why I picked a cream over a soap. I'm looking forward to giving the brush a whirl with some APR. Decent enough lather (lather shot) with plenty left for two passes.

Karve 'A' w/Kai (2)
Mondial1908 Boar
Phoenix & Beau Imperial Rum Soap
Wahl Traditonal Barbers Bay Rum Splash
TSW After Balm

First try of a bay rum scent. I can see this growing on me. The splash is a pretty strong scent. I picked it up cheap at a shaver shop store.

The scent of the soap is amazing though, would dig it in a splash. The performance is amazing. It lathered up so fast
