Brush: Vulfix 403 Mixed
Razor: Gillette Flair Tip Rocket
Blade: Wilkinson Super Sword (2)
Soap: Mine V5 - Menthol
A/S: Aqua Velva

My 3 y/o calls this 'punch in the nose soap', Mrs Nightguard was tearing up after smelling it. Safe to say it's pretty cold and perfect for today's weather.

Tell me about the Americana D01.

It's only my second shave with it, and I do not have enough experience to make comparisons and have an opinion, but it is very plush and dense, soft tips with a dense knot and high loft.
The tips are so soft it feels like a good synthetic but performs like a badger.

Barrister & Mann - Clusterfig
Thayer’s Original Toner (alcohol free)

It took me some time to get used to the scent of this soap. I can only describe it as powdery, fruity and floral. It’s not among my favourites, but it’s clean and refreshing.

Have a great day!

Pre-shave: Shower
Brush: Omega - 10065 Natural Bristle - Red
Soap: Stirling Noir sample puck
Razor: Timeless .68 SB - Scalloped Head
Blade: Nacet (2)
Post-shave: AP Reserve Escentials 'Restoration'
While using APR Escentials thought I could 3017 @tim33z a few sample pucks and break in some boar brushes.
My pathetic effort at loading the brush doesn't compare to a standard lather for some members.
Glad to be back on the Timeless a beautiful and efficient razor. Trialing blade combinations and the Nacet is ultra sharp
