Pre Shave: Hot Towel
Razor: Dovo Diamant
Soap: Long Rifle Brown Bess
Brush: Blue Devil 24mm Eucalypt Burl Handle with YAQI Cashmere Knot
Post: Long Rifle Brown Bess Aftershave Splash

Absolutely loving the Blue Devil Brush, I've already ordered another in 26mm Black Heart Sassafras which I'll add an OUMO knot to.
 
A Huon Pine Shave this morning to get the day kicked off.

Razor - Gillette King C with a Yaqi telescopic handle and the Cloud Blade

Soap - Tasmanian Postcards & Souvenirs Huon Pine

Brush - Blue Devil Shave Co. Huon Pine with a Lansky G5 knot

Bowl - Blue Devil Shave Co. Huon Pine

Splash - Tasmanian Postcards & Souvenirs Huon Pine

I have been trying out the Clouds blades in different razors over the last couple of weeks. It has performed quite well. Today was no different. Nice sharp blade that's nice and smooth, gives a close shave without tearing up the skin.

The bowl is a prototype of the upcoming release. The waves in it are something a little different, but they help immensely with the lather and are very light.

The King Gillette C is a razor I have had for quite some time, I always seem to get a good shave with it. It was good to go back to it in the last few days and it pairs really well with the Cloud Blade.

Overall a hassle free Huon Pine Shave.

I've been talking up Cloud blades on here for a while now as I really enjoy using them. They are a lot sharper than they feel on the skin so I find them perfect in a slant.

One day, I might actually convince someone here to give them a try :LOL:
