Pre-Shave: SebaMed, cold water
Razor: Guerrilla
Blade: Ladas (1)
Brush: Paladin Chief Strawberry Amber
Lather: Vicious Sample #4
Post-Shave: Alum, Stirling Bay Laurel Witch Hazel, Australian Emu Oil​

Busy morning shave, but the Guerrilla delivered a close and smooth shave and I had some good vicious lather as well.

I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday (y)
 
Rockwell 6S (6)
Lord Racer blade (8)
DR Harris Eucalyptus cream
Omega 49
Re-lather and cold rinse

A lovely 3 pass BBS. This cream is very nice - more euc than Proraso Green but possibly less menth. Still smells awesomely Australian, which is rather ironic really. It rewarded the use of more product anyway. I ended up adding cream in between passes because of not recognising this initially but it lathers up quickly again in any case.
 
Brush: Maseto Silvertip
Razor: SS General
Blade: Schick P30 (7)
Soap: Stirling Executive Man
Post: Dickinson's Witch Hazel

Lovely glossy slick lather from the Stirling soap, will order more for sure once my soap supplies are sufficiently depleted. Seven shaves so far on the P30 ~ flipped the blade tonight when cleaning so will hope for another seven good shaves off the reverse side :)
 
Phoenix & Beau Whitechapel
Antica Barbieria Colla Boar
Delta Echo Fatboy
Nacet
APR Winterfell Splash
APR Winterfell EdP

Heavy load and tonnes of slick, gorgeous smelling perfect lather. Fatboy was on a 3 with a new Nacet. I could have hacked away all day and not done any damage. The rich, unctuous, APR Winterfell Chypre giving me a big Autumnal hug to finish.
Smooth, irritation free, smelling great. I can’t ask for any more.
 


Pre: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus Manchurian Silvertip Badger
Soap: Shaver Heaven Arctic Mango Tallow V2 formula
Razor: ATT Kronos M2
Blade: Vintage Polsilver (1)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion
EdT: DR Harris Mayfair

A warm Spring evening was a perfect time to pull out of the cupboard the Shaver Heaven Arctic Mango Soap. Absolutely up there among my all-time favourites, with its subtle mango/peach/musk scent and refreshing menthol zing, and top quality lather performance in all respects.
The ATT M2 plate coupled with a vintage Polsilver blade glided around my face with minimum friction, and after three passes and a wee few buffs, I was BBS. A very relaxing and refreshing shave.
 
Razor: Vintage British Gillette Aristrocrat #15
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Super Stainless 'Aussie Spoiler' (9)
Brush: Simpson Jubilee LE 19/150 shaving brush
Soap/Cream: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Coeur de Vert shaving soap
Aftershave: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Coeur de Vert aftershave
Cologne: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Coeur de Vert EDP

So nice, so green.

Happy hump day guys!

Pre: Coconut Oil
Soap: Pb Bay/Lime MkII
Brush: Semogue 1305
Razor: Jowika 6/8"
Post: Jojoba oil
Reworked the Bay/Lime on Monday and gave it a run today.
Ingredients: Stearic, Olive Oil, Tallow, Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Borage Oil, Lanolin, Kokum Butter, Tussah Silk, Bentonite, Glycerin, Sodium Lactate, KOH, NaOH and essential oils.
Scent profile is: Sweet Orange, Lime, Bay, Allspice, Clove, Cinnamon and Rum.
I really like a bit of Clove but I know a few that don't @lerenau - this one's not for you.
I haven't used Borage and Kokum before and I think it probably needs a week or two in the tub to settle but first shave was fine. Feels great on the face and provides plenty of protection and residual slickness.
