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; Old Spice, soap puck 3.75oz (1965-75) in a late 02 milk-glass mug ‘’Grand Turk’’ (1964-78)
Razor; Gillette, 1948 British Aristocrat Gen 3 piece from set #16, Made in England, Rhodium plated, 82g.
Blade; Bic, Chrome Platinum. Sharpest/Smoothest I have tried to date, YMMV.
Post-shave; Shulton, Old Spice Original, milk-glass bottle, 6.37oz/180mls (Bottle style 1996)
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave
; Another great shave with my personal favourite soap/splash set Old Spice. I love this Gen 3 for smoothness and efficiency but for pure “’Eye Candy” the Gen 1 is a winner YMMV but I don’t care LOL. The brush from Rudy is a delight to hold I like the shape for grip and ease of use, but my personal favourite for Synthetic is the Oumo Ex-Den ST-1. Pleasant start to the working week.

Yep, Schmoral’s Node is a permanent disease and pain, until my body gives up
Brother, it’s none of my business, but being a caring person, do you have anyone to look after your vast ARKO collection while in Rehabilitation? :):)
 
Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; Oumo, Exceed (1) Classic handle in faux Ivory resin and Ironwood timber with an M9 23mm Manchurian Finest 2 Band Badger knot.
Soap; Yardley, Vintage Green label.
Razor; Carbon, CX-Graphite (Ti), with an Original (0.68mm) webbed base plate, 49gms.
From Sean @ Carbon Razors, the razor is from 1 of 2 ‘’Small Batch’’ runs, approx 30 razors in total produced.
I certainly have not noticed many CX’s on the forums, I personally can’t understand why, mmh.
Blade; Bic, Chrome Platinum. Sharpest/Smoothest I have tried to date, YMMV.
Post-shave; Natio, For Men, Calming Aftershave Balm.
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave
; Great shave today, slick as snot vintage lather whipped up on my face by the Oumo and a pleasant 2 pass n touch up for a BBS, with the Carbon CX. Finished with a new (for me anyway) balm I’m trying, pleased so far with the mild lemon scent and moisturised face feel, I believe this ‘’may’’ also be more than suitable as a moisturiser? .
