Prep: Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: TFS Professional
Brush: Multicolour DS Cosmetics handle with 26mm Ubersoft knot
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Gillette London Bridge (4)
Post: Witch Hazel, Bart's Balm sample (E)

I stole back my DS Cosmetics brush, which has been co-opted by my wife. I think it needs a harder soap to cope with the amount of water it can hold, as the initial lather was heavy on the bubbles. After squeezing the death out of it, the TFS sprang to life. Fourth day with the London Bridge, and it is definitely one of the best blades out there (YMMV :p: ) I can see another day left in it for me - at least. Right, off to p*** my wife off again and lean over her while she works asking for her input on yet another scent. After all, she's the one who has to put up with the many new items that have arrived in the last six months, so only fair she gets a say. Not sure she cares as much as I do to be honest though 🤔😄

Preshave: Hot water rinse
Brush: Omega 10016 Boar
Razor: British Gillette Flat Bottomed Tech
Blade: Gillette Nacet (4)
Soap/Cream: Esteem Barber Shop
Aftershave Balm: Rock Face Shaving Butter
Aftershave: Speick

Esteem Barber Shop's scent reminds me of Speick shaving soap. This is a good thing. Excellent creamy lather let the combo glide to a relaxed BBS, 9/10.

I'm buffed and chuffed.

Regards,
Chris

5 and out for the Med Prep, i have had 7 shaves from one of these, today it was still smooth and comfortable, the Birth-year Slim producing a very enjoyable 3 pass shave leaving me BBS and smiling from ear to ear.
The software and post shave routine were just fantastic.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Prep: Shower with PAA cube unscented.

Pre: PAA cube.

Soap: Wickhams Soap Co. super smooth sandalwood

Brush: PAA Phantom Aerolite Synthetic Shaving Brush

Razor: Tatara Masamune

Blade: Astra SP

Post: Alum, Bart’s aftershave balm.

So this was my first try out with my new toy the Tatara Masamune. It’s really an amazing bit of kit, milder and smoother than my homelike start which is already an excellent razor, but also more efficient! It only confirms to me I fell into the mistake early on in my transition to wet shaving that adjustables we’re better, when in fact both non adjustables and non adjustables both have their merits!
Where as today I’d normally be beginning to feel a bit of stubble growth by now, I’m still BBS. The Wickhams along with a Barts sample has given me an amazingly soft post shave feel.

Williams Mug soap

Schick S/S Twin-Japan [ 3 ]
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

This replica Razor was designed for use with a Twin blade, and provides a rather ultra smooth Shave, yet allows one to attain a great close finish with ease. Just glad I got a few of these blades before the price escalated. However, despite the cost I would recommend getting a pack as Razors like the Adjustable need one to experience it best.
