Pre: Pb PSE
Soap: Pb Gilleán
Brush: 20mm Master Badger
Razor: Timeless Bronze OC
Blade: Vintage French Nacet (1)
AS: Pb Black Spruce
The world looks and smells very different after some rain. :)
The Timeless performed brilliantly as expected and if enabling awards can be awarded retrospectively then @Razor Burn
gets a nomination for lending me his some time back. Smooth and efficient was the order of the day with a BBS result. I was hanging out for a straight razor shave today but the Timeless was calling me and didn't disappoint.:) Black Spruce works well with Gilleán - bonus.

A great combination mate - the Timeless, your awesome soap, a badger brush and the bloom bowl. Well done! (y)

Head/Face: Leaf Razor
Blade: Gillette Nacet (2)
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira Shavery Lathering Bowl
Soap: APR Suitably Attired Australian LE

A quick head/face SOTD with the Leaf using 2 half blades and not as close as normal so I'll stick with the full 3 half blades. Still smooth and comfortable, thanks largely to the lather from the soap. Finished off with the Serum for another happy shave!

Wow, blades really do make the difference sometimes. I had only used some Kai Captain Mild blades before and didn't partivularly enjoy the shaves. Switching to the P30 was a revelation. Smoother, more efficient and a great experience all round. Two passes with no irritation whatsoever.

I would also like to thank @Pbgoose for sending me this sample. Whilst I slightly over hydrated the soap, the slcikness and protection were top notch. As for the scent. Slightly more spice forward than Nordost, in my opinion. I could pick out cardamon and cinnamon in particular. The orange was definitely there, but in the background. I really enjoyed the scent, but would probably prefer to use it during the colder months. Thanks again PBGoose.​
 
Pre: Warm Shower
Razor: 73 Black Beauty
Blade: Polsilver
Brush: Yaqi 24mm mew brown knot
Soap: APR La Violetta
Post: APR La Violetta Splash

Tonight I danced with my black beauty. After the weeks facial assault I thought a nice mild shave was in order. Originally was going to grab the DE 89 with a feather but last minute went for the 73 super speed and set it to a mild setting of 6 for the duration of a traditional 3 pass shave.

What a shave!!! Practically have hit BBS with a mild shave, is this even possible???? Is it the black beauty? Or did I learn something?
