Last night’s late, late shave…

Paradigm Titanium II
Polsilver (2)
Brad Sears DFS LE
Declaration Grooming TSN Fouge̕re

The Maiden voyage of my very own Paradigm and a wonderful shave ensued. Smooth, efficient and perfectly balanced. Worth the wait. Love it!

The Brad Sears brush continues to impress. I noticed the tips felt crusty when dry. Looking closely the tips are already starting to hook. It whipped up a fantastic lather and a joy to apply.

The Declaration Grooming soap performed brilliantly. The lather was easy to create and stable too. It can take some water, which is a good job as I tend to be a little heavy handed. The slickness and post shave face feel is top draw. The scent is nice, not overpowering but present throughout.
The matching aftershave has gone right to the top of my favourite post shave products. It has a lovely powdery scent which hung around.

A fantastic shave which left me stroking my……face.

Cheers

Glad to know you're liking the brush, Rob, and, of course, the Paradigm Ti.

Wednesday 11th July



Pears Glycerine Soap
Proraso Sandalwood Pre Shave Cream
TOBS Sandalwood Soap
Omega 10098 Boar Brush
Steve Woodhead Suribachi Bowl
Q-Shave Futur Clone (3.5, 4.5, 5.5) with a Treet Silver Carbon Steel Blade
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
GFT Sandalwood Skin Food
TOBS Sandalwood Cologne
Javanol (Molecule 04) EDP

A few firsts today. Many thanks to Kevin ( @Boru62 ) for supplying a sample of TOBS Sandalwood Soap. The TOBS version of Sandalwood has be be one of my favourite Sandalwood scents. This was also the first use of the Suribachi bowl. I bought it over a year ago but never used it. To be honest the suribachi pattern looks brutal and I had concerns about brush wear and tear.......but it can certainly produce a lather! I have quite a few more shaves left from the sample provided....but for my own peace of mind.....I will only use brushes which are cheap and easily replaceable. The Q-Shave is new and performs as well as the Ming Shi....it just looks cool in Black!

Three passes for a lovely smooth and fragrant shave. Time to get in a few beers and a chilled out evening

Good morning friends. Happy to be back home and using my gear again. Three passes with the Pal Injecto-Matic has left me smooth and refreshed. I finished with Old Spice. Enjoy your day friends.

Yesterday's Shave...
Not even close to a DFS.

Pre: Floid preshave oil
Omega 10065
MWF
Merkur Futur (3,2)
Polsilver super Iridium
Alcolado Glacial

MWF was left for a long time and during the summer is a no go.
Didn't give me a good lather, I had to reload for each pass and at the end, I didn't enjoy my shave
Alcolado is nice but not for AS.
It brings tears to my eyes when I apply it on my face.
So sad...

The good news is that I will have to shave again today.
