I’m seriously under the weather. As are the others in my household. Easter? Bah! Managed to get through this shave. Barely. Wonderful lather from the Salter tallow soap, kindly gifted by @Acer89. However, while the texture is magnificent, and performance ditto, I experienced some sort of sting or burn on my skin. @p.b Knowing your skin is fussy with soaps, have you tried this one?

Charcoal SB Lvl3, Polsilver, Salter tallow soap, Wolf Whiskers Pi Day / Elite Manchurian, Floïd Blue AS.

(My sense of smell is on level with a stone. No clue if the soap has any scent.)

Not yet - but I'm sure one day I'll fold and buy one...

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney Stubby 1 Porcelain Finest (22/45)
Penhaligon's English Fern shaving soap (tallow)
RazoRock Mamba/Stork Advoco Titanium
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (4)
Penhaligon's English Fern aftershave (vintage)

One of the best soaps ever made, I think, giving me great lather every time.

First use of the Sudsy Soapery and it was pretty good. Nothing better than most of the soaps I already own but the scent was very pleasant. Another soap ticked off the ‘to try’ list.

They obviously didn’t know what they’re losing out on! Soldier on, Konstantinos

Many thanks for your support, Halvor!

What number is your Albion handle out of interest?

#69/100, I got the handle from @zealshaver via our BST here.

Morning shave.

Olive Oil Soap
SMN Crema Da Barba
Semogue 1305
Little Wren Pottery
Rockwell 6c
Polsilver SI (1)
Thayers Witch Hazel (unscented)
RazoRock Santa Maria Del Fiore Aftershave
SMN Tabacco Toscano EDC

After a meeting near Piccadilly (no, not that sort of meeting!) I though I might as well pop in to the Santa Maria Novella store on Piccadilly Arcade. Of course, I left the store 20 minutes later a couple of hundred quid worse off. The cream is lovely. And so it should be for the price. But the cologne is sublime. A wonderfully self-indulgent shave. Have a great holiday weekend gents.

I'm filled with envy! I only have the Razorock knock-offs of SMN. Since you have both, how close is the Razorock after shave scent to the genuine SMN Tabacco Toscano?

All self explanatory here really apart from the brush, Yaqi 26mm tuxedo synth. This was my first full shave with the Valet & Feathers. It was, as my dad used to say, rough as old boots. I think I need to sort my technique somewhat if I'm going to get a half decent and enjoyable shave out of this one. Can't fault the other items though, I've been using TOBS gear for ages and still love it.

I would say it’s pretty close. Obviously it doesn’t have the same longevity. But it’s a good match in my opinion.

Thank you, Barry. That makes me happy. I liked the Santa Maria del Fiore so much that when it went on sale last year I bought two jars of the soap and 4 bottles of the after shave.
