Prep: Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: TFS Professional
Brush: 26mm Yaqi Mysterious Space Tuxedo
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Gillette London Bridge (2)
Post: Witch Hazel, Bart's Balm sample (C)

Another day, similar setup. The brush has been switched for the only Yaqi I own with a noticeable error - 26mm knot in a 24mm handle! Huge volume of lather from the bigger, floppier knot and a flawless finish with the London Bridge. If this week is teaching me anything, it's that I do swap things around willy-nilly, and three days with the same soap is not an inconvenience! Pretty sure I'll be ready to be a bit frivolous by the weekend though :p:

A fresh, bright morning that I interpreted this way.
The Chinese razor with the Japanese blade were amazingly mild!

Preshave:
Hot water rinse

Razor: British Gillette Flat Bottomed Tech
Blade: Gillette Nacet (2)
Soap/Cream: Bodyshop Maca Root & Aloe

A more cautious, light touch approach for today's shave, with habitual quality Bodyshop lather, delivered a bloodless near BBS, 8.5/10 result.

Have a good, safe week.

Used the M plate today and was rewarded with a very pleasant shave, not as close as the H plate and no more comfortable but still enjoyable.
The Phoenix & Beau soap is great. I’d image it’s very well suited to straight razor shavers as it’s thinner than other soaps and doesn’t dry out.

A fine cooling shave today with the OSP E&M and the Flexi, 2 passes on #3 then an ATG pass on 2.5 resulting in a DFS++ very comfortable finish. I only noticed the 2 areas of very light roughness during the post shave. For me, the Flexi is a little behind the Rex on efficiency on the same settings, very easily remedied. It really is a very good razor for the money it costs.
The Med prep get another run out tomorrow.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
