Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Alt Innsbruck Emulsion
Brush: Savile Row 3824 Silvertip Badger
Soap: Wholly Kaw Fougère Bouquet
Razor: Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (1)
Post: Alt Innsbruck Emulsion
Scent: Alvarez Gomez Barberia

Donga Shave in the North-West. Very hard water at this camp, and I've typically had lathering issues previously. When you struggle to get lather from Valobra Glycerlanolina, you know you are in for a challenge. As always up here, it takes a long time to build the lather, and typically it is not as dense, nor is it as persistent as when using sweeter water.
To be fair, the Wholly Kaw soap did a pretty good job. Slickness was quite good, and it has a very pleasant scent - certainly a fougère on the sweet side.
All up, I was pretty happy with the shave, given the circumstances, and I continue to be impressed with the Alt Innsbruck Emulsion as an all-in-one pre/post shave product. It does a really good job as a travel product, and has rescued me a few times when my shaves have been less than ideal.
Not wishing to overdue the fragrance on the mine site, I elected for the subtle approach of Alvarez Gomez combing water.
 
Date:- 16 May 2019

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap

Post-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Natural Glycerin (20), Tea Tree Antiseptic (10), Lavender (15) & Peppermint (10 drops)

Sorry about the shitty shave, that aside, what are your thoughts on the solid cologne?
 
DIY lemon myrtle pre shave oil
KarveD w/Polsilver
Yaqi two band finest
Soap Commander Respect (lime/patchouli)
Post shave oil/Sacred Earth splash

Thoroughly enjoyable shave! I love this soap. It's a fairly simple scent but so nicely done.

This brush just rocks! It's no where near the most expensive badger from Yaqi however, it's my favorite two band as it just does everything right!
I'm breaking this one in a little more as it's my second one, solely for the travel kit.

Oops sorry I realise I wasn’t clear. The shave was great, but the photo was blurry and the brush handle looked black. Not worthy of showing you guys...

I’m liking them for ease of carrying and applying. Only onto the second scent sample so far but got almost a week of use from the first one. I’m not someone who’d spray a cologne in the office, so these are ideal. I think they are a win from me. There’s another Aussie company from Melbourne solid state for men (Link) which are much cheaper and also provide a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Once I know what type of scents I like, I might give these guys a go.

Sincere condolences on your loss, and yep don’t postpone your checkups people. Just had some alarming results come through a few days ago - time to clean up my act. 😳

Condolences for your loss. Never good when anyone passes away especially when there is still a lot of life left in them.
