RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
Cyril Salter Solid soap
Schick Type I1
Schick Twin-Japan [ 12 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

I have just spent the last couple of days using Razors fitted with blades at their optimum, and while the Shaves were not uncomfortable the quality of the finish left a lot to be desired. It was a pleasure to Shave today and be rewarded with a nice close all round finish.

This is a nice compact Razor and is ideal for those wishing to try out a Twin blade, but are not keen on longer handled Razors

Morning shave

Olive Oil Soap
Barrister and Mann Seville (sample)
Omega 11137 Boar
Little Wren Pottery
Merkur 37c
Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Thayers Witch Hazel (unscented)
Fine American Blend Aftershave
YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme EDT

A thoroughly enjoyable shave. The soap sample was sent to me by @halvor and it produced an excellent lather. Cushioning and very slick. I will certainly be buying myself a tub. Many thanks Halvor. Part of the reason why the lather was so good was the performance of the Omega brush. Loads of backbone but small enough to be precise when working on the soap pressed in to the bowl. The perfect brush for the job. It was sent to me by my friend Kevin (@Boru62). Not only did he buy it for me but he took the time, using the fridge method, to break it in. You’re a star mate, thank you. Have a good day chaps.

You are right, for those who like boar brushes the Omega 11137 is a great little brush which is very inexpensive.I have used one in my rotation for a couple of years.
