... seems to have LOTS of brushes
Despite the rumor that I have a different one for every day, it's more like one for every week. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 shaving brushes, including badger, boar and synthetic. In truth, I have considerably more razors than brushes.

Soap: Pb Smokey Lavender
Brush: Vielong Black Horse
Razor: Colonial General
Blade: Schick Proline (1)
A bit of a polish for the General last night. It's still one of my favorite razors. I remember the late @Draco Noir thought the General was a bit special when he tried one. Be interesting to see what he would think of the wide array of AC razors available now.
Gave Smokey Lavender a run. Perfect with the General. Look forward to a straight razor shave with it.

The un-obtainium Blue Devil soap created a beautiful rich, creamy yogurt like lather with top notch performance from rounded quarter teaspoon (1.8gm) scoop and 16ml water slowly added. For me the aroma coming off the lather is lovely green floral aroma with a light citrus background, scent strength 5/10. Overall a wonderful clean, smooth DFS from the Fatip & Shark blade combo.
The Gear:
- Pre Shave: Natio Men Shave Gel [A]
- Brush: ShaveXDave “The Green&Gold” 24/55 APShave Synbad Fan [A]
- Soap: Blue Devil Shave Co - The Lavender Patch [A]
- Bowl: Whispers From The Woods [A]
- Razor: Fatip Gentile Grande (70gm)
- Blade: Shark Platinum (1)
- Splash: Imperial Bergamot AS Tonic with added Menthol
- Balm: Natio Men Calming AS Balm [A]
- After Shave: Clubman Pinaud AS Lotion
- Moisturiser (Later): Swisse Daily Face Moisturiser [A]
Unobtainium? I guess you're right. Though if you asked @CraigE nicely he might just make you some more...SOTD – Thu 4 Jan 2024

But I still have a barely-used tub in my backup drawer. I should really get it out... 
That reminds me, I want to get out to Bridestowe to get a shot of the lavender crop before it's harvested...

Short for @Pbgoose as the forum username
I was asking about the soap brand:

Speedy is right. Short for Pbgoose. Think lead, as in lead goose.
He only makes his own soaps, he doesn’t have a business to sell them.
All we could do is simply asked.
I was thinking as in Pommie Bitch Goose
