First lather with the TF custom brush and was mighty impressed by the backbone in this 2 band finest a stunningly beautiful brush and good performer.
If the Rhodium knots are better, they must be truly amazing!
Thx @Tony Forsyth

You should get yourself Stirling Spice shaving soap into your bloody den, because, it's very close to the original old spice aftershave.

Supreme shave. Sad though because I can now see the bottom of the container of the soap.​

Pre-shave: PAA Mentholated Prickly Pear ATG Pre-Shave Soap
Brush: Omega 10083
Soap/Cream: PAA Crown King Porthos
Razor: Schick Krona
Blade: Vintage Gillette Super Stainless (2)
Post-shave: Alum block, Witch hazel, Bulldog original aftershave balm, B&M Reserve Spice
Hair Tonic: Eau de Portugal

The Schick Krona is such a delight to use. I typically don't like long handled razors, nor mild razors and the Krona is both of these but the weight and balance and the tapered handle make this a wonderful razor. I've got three just in case...:LOL:
 
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft
Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Clusterfig
Post shave: Thayer’s Original Toner

A very rushed shave this morning, so I went back the the 34c. It feels so light after having used my Karve Brass for 3 weeks. Just two passes and it was a decent shave. I do enjoy the short handle, I might get a shorter handle if/when I get the matte stainless steel Karve

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Semogue Owners Club LE 2012 Mixed Badger/Boar
Soap: Boellis Panama 1924
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna P74 (9)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Proraso Green Aftershave Splash
Scent: Boellis Panama 1924

Such good soap.
 


Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Semogue 1305 boar
Soap: APR Raconteur
Razor: Smart Helix Apollo Light (aggressive plate)
Blade: Polsilver SI (1)
Post: T.N. Dickinsons witch hazel with Speedys herbal go fast additives
Scent: Jovan Musk

As I had shaved yesterday, I had thoughts of waiting until tomorrow to get a healthy growth to test fly the Apollo. But not for long! Who could resist?
As it turned out it was a good test as the growth that was there was either my heavy growth areas (such as they are) or 'difficult' areas.
It's just one shave, but I am extremely pleased with the razor; not only does it look superb but it performs accordingly. I found it a little less blade forward than
my Blackbird but that's a good thing. The acoustics with the Polsilver fitted were great; a pleasing crunch as it cut through. Balance and handle grip were terrific,
and I was just completely on auto pilot as far as the angle, very intuitive. I thought the handle might feel too long for me as my other razors are short handled, but never gave it a thought during the shave. Delivery from Ukraine took 21 days from when they posted it and boy was I relieved to see it in the letter box today. End result was a DFS verging on BBS but it remains to be seen how I feel when the honeymoon is over; even happier I'm guessing! I hope the other guys who ordered around the same time see theirs arrive soon if they have not already.

Congrats on receiving the new razor and ecstatic to see another happy user. Great to read it arrived safely and judging by your estimate I should expect to see mine reaching Australia soon...? Happy shaves! (y)
