I’ve torn one of my calf muscles and I’m on crutches. Feeling sorry for myself I needed a big hug and some comfort food and nothing does that better than APR Santal. Smooth and smelling good.

Blade: Astra SP #2
Razor: Fatipe Piccolo
Soap: Natural Ireland soap Co. Seaweed (Passaround @ManicDee )
Brush: Omega pro 49 Boar
Post: Alum & P&B Unscented Balm
EDT: L'Occitane Cade

I have just had a wonderful smooth 3 pass BBS shave with the Fatipe Piiccolo and Astra Combo.

I want to know if this soap received a Bronze Award who won the Gold? This is my second use and it appears to get better and better.
Using the magnificent Omega boar I whipped up an amazing thick creamy and protective face lather with loads of slip and slide and a post shave feel second to none. A truly brilliant soap and one I shall be buying in the near future.
Thank you @ManicDee for the opportunity, I am well & Truly enabled. :)

Finished my Friday afternoon shave with Alum that gave me no feedback and Pheonix & Beau Balm before a generous splash of Cade.

Enjoy your shaves! :)

Last shave of the week. 2.5 passes with a near BBS shave.
No shave tomorrow and the new shave week starts Sunday with my 1967 Slim Adjustable. I'm still looking for the blade for it. I have to start auditions over 'cause I lost track of what blades I used.
Have a fantastic weekend.

Vitos Red “Super Extra Cocco”
Zenith B02
Merkur 34c
Voskhod
4711 Aftershave

A much better shave than yesterday... Using exactly the same gear. I figured out what went wrong... I was storing the Vitos in a dish without a lid, it had completely dried out, I tried rehydrating it overnight but to no avail - Dead as a dodo. So I sliced off a fresh bit for this mornings shave and was greeted with superb lather.

On a real 4711 trip at the moment, will have to be careful I don’t overuse it and put myself off! ...Like that’s ever happened :facepalm:

Used the Brush for the first time it was great to use. Good backbone, just right for me it and worked the soap into a good lather in no time.
The soap to was for used for the first time it has a nice scent a bit woody like, and it gave
A great lather nice and slick.

It’s second shave, and may get a little adventures with it.

Gorgeous photo. I have one of those razors on order but I'm sure mine has a bronze finish.
