Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Rudy Vey Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Soap: Lea Classic (Tallow)
Razor: Vintage Gillette Rocket HD
Blade: Gillette Platinum (1)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel / Myrsol Emulsion
Scent: B&M Le Grand Chypre EdT

I am really enjoying the way this brush rips into hard pucks. Loads of lovely tallowy suds from the Lea Classic.
Three passes for a DFS. First use of a modern Gillette Platinum blade. For me, it was sharp, but not the smoothest.

Pre: lemon Myrtle pre shave oil
Rockwell R4 w/Polsilver
EJ silvertip fibre L v1
Fine Platinum
Anherb balm

Awesome scent on the platinum. It's very surprising that I haven't reacted to the fine soaps given the scent strength is fairly robust.

I like all the scents...The santal absolut is my least favorite and favorites are Italian Citrus, l'orange noir and lavender.

One thing with fine is that they really need to be lathered up for the scent to come out fully.

Blade: Polsilver (1)
Scuttle/Bowl/Mug: Fine Lathering bowl

Mild, smooth, slick, enjoyable shave - absolutely love the hints of vanilla & malt... Happy shaves!

Pre-Shave: SebaMed, cold water
Razor: Rex Ambassador (2.5)
Blade: Voskhod (2)
Brush: Paladin Sumo Lapis
Lather: Stirling Bergamot Lavender
Post-Shave: Alum, Thayers Original Alcohol Free Witch Hazel, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil​

Getting one perfect shave after the other at the moment with the Rex - today on 2.5 for an extra close result. I probably say that about each and every one of my Paladins - but today this Sumo takes my favourite spot - silky soft tips with great backbone and it whipped up some magnificent Stirling lather.

I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday

Soap: APR Skye Fall
Post: Witch Hazel, APR Skye Fall Splash

[Snooze]

Tabula Rasa 'Herbs' / Paladin PK47 / Gillette NEW OC long ,Bren handle / Permasharp Super (4) / CL 'GLS' salve + APR 'FBR' EDP

Lighter style lather from the Tabular Rasa, with a nice fresh lemongrass and herb scent. Great post shave feel.

Three passes with a Franken-Razor, made up of a NEW head and Bren SS handle from TSW. The handle just adds a bit of weight and makes the razor nicer to use. The long comb is really efficient and not as bulky as more modern one-piece razors.

The Fougere Bourbon Rose EDP is a powerhouse - two sprays lasts the whole day ​
