Preshave: Hot water rinse
Brush: Omega 10016 Boar
Razor: Gillette Rocket Flare Tip
Blade: Sainsbury's [Dorco] (3)
Soap/Cream: Esteem Barbershop
Aftershave Balm: Harvard Vetiver
Aftershave: Speick

A cracking shave with a fine BBS, 9/10 result. The scent of the Esteem soap reminds me of Speick AS, a great way to round off.

Happy shaves.

Regards,
Chris

Razor: Karve Overlander
Blade: Feather (2)
Brush: AP Shave 24mm G5C
Soap: Stirling Ozark Mountain

The G5C is a good brush. SynBad may still be my favourite synthetic but the G5C is up there.

I'm going to end things with the Overlander. She does what I ask of her but there's just no spark between us. I expect she'll be on Tinder (BST) soon.

Shame, I think your thoughts and experience with it mirror mine.

Another Cracker for me tonight although i did have a couple of weepers.
Pretty unusual for me to be honest but i seem to be getting them more frequently recently,
perhaps i’m rushing or doing something wrong.
The soap for me is top class although the scent is a love hate job with me sort of sitting in between lol. I like it but don’t love it but i know some really don’t like it, The weird smell of steel is right up my street
well i do build pipelines lol.
The Third use on the Rapira was enough for me, could maybe get another shave or two out of it but for me it’s not worth the risk.
Overall a good 9/10
Stay Safe Boys & Girls

ASD2 another razor I'd love to try again. Remember loving it when I had it, always wonder if I'd feel the same now.

A winter's day shave. Champlain is a great scent. Named after the lake between northern New York and Vermont, it smells like the fir tree forests that surround the lake. I love it. And since I don't have a matching balm, I figured going to Norway would be in keeping. An excellent shave all around. The H&S N075 never disappoints.
