Second last shave with the Bay Rum by Barrister & Mann which I noticed is now back in stock after a long hiatus due to obtaining the required ingredient. It’s a noticeable change from the Grooming Dept duck fat soap but not significantly worse, just not as heavy a lather.

Using this soap in order to create space for my incoming newbies...
 
Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: Vintage butterscotch Simpson boar shaving brush
Soap/Cream: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Skye Fall shaving soap
Razor: Gillette NEW head on TSW Bren handle
Blade: NOS Gillette 'Super Stainless' (9)
Post-shave: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Skye Fall aftershave splash
Fragrance: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Skye Fall EDT

great start to the day
 
Pre-shave: Warm Shower
Brush: Yaqi Mysterious Space
Soap: A&E Club Signature
Razor: Timeless 0.95 SB
Blade: Polsilver (1)
Post-shave: A&E Uno Splash

Head: Headblade Moto
Blade: Polsilver SI (2)
Face: RR Baby Smooth
Bowl: Pereira's Unbreakable bowl
Soap: APR Ozymandias

This is a soap that is basically never heard of on the forums but it lathers up like any other, that is to say, very good!!

I thought I'd post a pic of the lather lollipop :)

Date:- 17 April 2019

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush:- Semogue Special Edition 2012 Badger/Boar knot 24/55mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Wholly Kaw ~ Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli Limited Edition
Razor/Blade:- Karve CB 'C' / Vintage NOS Gillette Stainless #5
Post-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed with Natural Glycerin (20), Tea Tree Antiseptic (10), Lavender (15) & Peppermint (10 drops)
Fragrance:- Hugo Boss (Original)
 
Pre: Hot towel, Aloe vera gel
Razor: RazoRock Game Changer with .84 head & Barber pole handle
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum Double Edge
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk2
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Squadron Coronet Fougere
Post: Squadron Coronet Fougere splash

I did my usual two pass and touch up shave. The result was a very smooth, comfortable and efficient shave for a DFS +.
The finish on the Game Changer is good. What surprised me was the alignment studs are on base plate rather than the cap, not a big deal, just different.
Does it live up to the hype, I would say yes. For me the G C shaves similar to the Karve with the C plate. So if you are not keen on a brass razor this would be ideal. (y)

Have a safe Easter folks.

Cheers
