All these classy soaps on display - was this a case of choice paralysis? If so, I totally get it. And I have only a fraction of the number of soaps that you do... :ROFLMAO:

Though that Nord Freyja appears to be a clear favourite of yours at the moment. A very lovely design. :love:
 
Brush:- Omega MB1899 Black Resin 24/53mm knot Elite Fibre Synth.
Soap/Cream:- Haslinger Schafmilch Sheep Milk & Lanolin (tallow)
Razor/Blade:- BIC 1 Sensitive Disposable Cartridge Razor #2
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Plunkett's Vita E Pure with Rosehip Oil (10 drops), Natural Plant Glycerine (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5)
Moisturising Cream:- Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Fragrance-Free (for autumn & winter season)

This is my last final shave tonight at the spinal rehabilitation hospital as I'm going home tomorrow lunchtime, it's about bloody time.

Pre: pears soap
Razor: Henson V1 Medium
Blade: Feather (1)
Brush: TroyCraft Cashmere (henceforth referred to as Spindrift)
Lather: Noble Otter Logbook
Bowl: Big W pet bowl
Post: Alcohol free witch hazel lotion, CeraVe Moisturiser

Today’s shave didn’t feel as streamlined as my last, but I also missed the hot flannel today. I also had 2 days growth and I find the Henson is better for me daily shaving. My last shave was a Rockwell 6C on 6 so of course it just plowed through everything on my face.

The TroyCraft Spindrift ™️ is a lovely soft brush, and I haven’t used this noble otter in a while so it took a bit longer to load. Happy with the results, though it seemed less luxurious than the Washpool I’ve been using lately .
