Filarmónica 14 Doble Temple 15/16 Hollow - El Druida Unbleached Boar - Eufros Vetiver de Haití - Myrsol Agua Balsamica - Sukin Moisturiser
Pre-shave: Hot flannel, Pears soap
Brush: TroyCraft "Vazon Forest" 28mm AP G5C
Soap: Yardley Black Label
Razor: Atelier Durdan Vestige
Blade: Personna GEM Stainless
Post-shave: TND witch hazel/Stirling Bergamot Lavender witch hazel (70:30), homebrew moisturiser, Oxford & Cambridge cologne
Although I've been exploring a few fantastic new soaps lately, it's always great to return to YBL, a glorious blast from my youth.
I had sort of expected the Vestige to become overshadowed by La Faulx, but that hasn't been the case. The Vestige is still the one I'd run back into a burning building for.

Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; Culmak No 84 Best Badger 1’’ knot, Butterscotch handle.
Soap; Jack Jarvis; Cadwgawn- Original recipe, from Man of Siam
Razor; Carbon, CX-Graphite (Ti), with an Original (0.68) webbed base plate. From Sean @ Carbon Razors, the razor is from 1 of 2 ‘’Small Batch’’ runs of approx 30 razors in total.
Blade; Gillette, Red & White (Aussie Spoiler)
Post-shave; Shulton, Old Spice Original, red plastic bottle, 150ml (Bottle style 1986)
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; Very pleasant 2 pass n touch up shave today for a nice BBS, this razor is smooth and very efficient, not a lot on Forums re the Carbon CX razors, not actually sure why, one the best (if not the best) I’ve used YMMV? The Aussie Spoiler blade I would use as a daily if readily available, sadly not!! The shave soap (Man of Siam, I have both varieties), slick with cushion and wow the scent. I was very happy with the initial price, I was even happier today to realise that the tub is 240gms not the 100-125gm I thought, making these exceptionally great value for the $. The O/S vintage A/S, well what more to say than “á blast from the past”
