I feel your pain mate. I've been having very slow connection issues for months now, thinking its just useless aussie internet, and then I replaced the nasty cheap Telstra router with a near $400 router, and all of a sudden, magically all fixed. I don't know if that info is helpful to you or not, but my previous router supplied by the internet provider for free upon installation is now old junk, but all is good now after sourcing my own. YMMV of course, just tryin to help :)
 

SOTD – Tue 02Apr2024​

SOTD-20240402-setup.png


Report: Just a shave with my current kill soap: the un-obtainium Saponificio Virgilio Valobra - Creama di sapone purissima (Menthol), a traditional Italian mild Almond & Menthol scent. The soap now has good sized doughnut hole. Also used for the first time was the Aylsworth Apex AL6063 razor which matched well with the Nacet to give me a wonderful smooth clean close shave, very similar to how the Henson ++ shaves in my last shave.

THE GEAR:
  • Pre Shave: Pears Clear Bar Soap
  • Brush: TroyCraft “Golden Tulip” with 26/52 Yaqi Boss Knot [A]
  • Soap: Saponificio Virgilio Valobra - Creama di sapone purissima (Menthol)
  • Razor: Aylsworth Apex AL6063
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (Russia) (1)
  • Astringent: Imperial Bergamot AS with added Menthol
  • Balm: Natio for Men - Calming AS Balm [A]
  • After Shave: Old Spice AS Lotion
  • Moisturiser (Later): G&M Australian Creams - Emu Oil MkII [A]
[A] = Australian Product

I received this razor from @LesC yesterday as a kind donation to the SR PIF cause (see PIF No. 17). This morning this razor was given its mandatory shave test and passed with flying colours. The razor has now been given 60 laps on a 0.1µm diamond pasted balsa strop (hanging), stropped on Kyrgyzstan calf leather and packaged ready for shipping to the winner of the PIF (whoever that may be).

It is with great reluctance that I PIF this razor but I am a man of my word.

Pre-shave: Hot flannel, Pears soap
Brush: TroyCraft "Polar Nocturne" 28mm AP Titanium
Soap: Castle Forbes Cedarwood and Sandalwood
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: Personna GEM Stainless
Post-shave: TND witch hazel, homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay SPF50+ Invisible Fluid, Oxford & Cambridge cologne
COTD: Monsoon Malabar (India)

Nice to have "my" bathroom back, so I can go back to enjoying neglected friends from my little collection. Every time I come back to the Sabre after an absence, it punishes me gently with a shave that's nothing short of sublime, as if to say "See?"...
