Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; Simpson, Chubby 2, Faux Emerald resin handle with a 27mm Manchurian Badger knot. “Limited Edition”
Soap; Stirling Soaps, ‘’Frankinscent‘’ 5 used pucks mixed together, (apparently taking up too much space x SHMBO) in an original Franklin Toiletry Co 1976 Barbershop Mug.
Razor; Gillette, Aristocrat Generation 1 (Made in England) replated in Rhodium by BRG. From Set #15.
Blade; Gillette, Super Stainless, the SPOILER.
Post-shave; My Concoction; Wahl Traditional Bay Rum 500mls, Witch Hazel 500mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 50mls, Bay Laurel Essential Oil 12.5mls, Vit E 5mls, Natural Plant Glycerine 2.5mls and 1.25mls of Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (Thoroughly mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; Very nice shave with the ‘’best’’ looking Gillette ever made (IMHO) The soap is a faint mixture of various scents and each lather ‘’smells‘’ different. Nice splash/moisturise combo to finish. Spot on.

I like the idea of mixed soap. I always put the leftovers on top of the new one so I have kind of mix for a few shaves. But not 5 different ones😂

Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; Rudy Vey, “Vermillion Eagle” stabilised Padauk timber handle, clear coat finish with a 25mm Muhle STF ++ Synthetic fibre knot at Rudy’s loft setting.
Soap; Wholly Kaw, Timmermann Green Label 1869
Razor; Atelier Durdan, La Faulx ‘’The Scythe’’ AC razor with ++ plate. L.E 3/20 “Criniere Ardente” Fiery Mane.
Blade; Schick, Proline P30.
Post-shave; My Concoction; Wholly Kaw, Timmermann Green Label 1869, splash
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; Very nice shave with the ‘Timmermann Green 1869 Soap/Splash (From the P&C Cancer Charity Auction) This is the 1st Wholly Kaw product I have used and after 1 shave I’m impressed with the slickness (Kamisori tomorrow will tell) and post shave feel. I’m not a ‘’nasal’ connoisseur but this smells like a fainter MDC Vetiver with a Sandalwood when lathering, if that makes sense?
SWMBO reckons the A/S splash is the nicest I have (Der wrong O/S Vintage is obviously)
Overall a very nice shave and to be honest after reading some WK reviews wouldn’t mind trying their Oud.
