Brush: Omega 11047 'Mixed Midget'
Razor: Standard Razor
Blade: Voskhod (3)
Soap: PAA Coconut Oud
Post: Boots Tea Tree WH, Nivea 2 Phase & Ard Al Zaafaran Oud 24 Hours

After coveting this brush for years, not a bad first use a little scritchy and stinky. Needs to break in, I think more of a shave stick and face lather brush as oppsoed to a bowl lather. Absolutely love the scent of the Coconut Oud, just an ever so slightly hint of coconut but heavy on the oud. The Oud 24 hours complements it wonderfully. Not sure if I like a Voskhod with the Standard, good shaves but a few weepers today. Hope the weather is as nice elsewhere as it here in South Wales, off out to buy a small tree for the garden :D​

Stick with the Mixed Midget. It breaks in beautifully and generates great lather. It's my travel brush c/w Simpson's tube.
 
A very pleasant shave today using Taylors Sandalwood cream and a brand new Feather blade in a Jagger head with FKT Leopard handle. Not sure about the Wilkinson Sword brush, but it's the first time I have used so it may soften with age.

I still can't believe I am actually enjoying shaving after years of hating it. In no small part that is down to this forum. Thanks guys. :)

Evening all.
Seriously needed a shave after a three day abstention. It was razorocks dead sea creams turn in the rotation, I forgot that this one needs very little water, so a little adjustment was needed (huge bowl of frothy stuff) :)
I didn't want to take chances on any old blade tonight so opted for one of my favourite, polsilver si, good choice.
The razorock soap provided a great smelling cushioning easy shave, three passes with a good close shave, a bit of irritation and two small weepers, but otherwise great.
Gillette razor
Polsilver si blade #1
Omega boar brush
Razorock dead sea cream
Thayers rose petal toner
Superdrug as balm

Ps, I did intend putting tabac lotion on, but at the last moment went for the Herod :)

Sunday



Olive Oil soap and Man Cave Olivestone Facial Scrub
NOS Old Spice Shave cream
Omega S10083 synthetic brush
Feather Portable with Treet Durasharp Carbon Blade (#2)
Alum Block
Naissance Aloe Vera Gel
Old Spice AS

The Feather Portable has always been one of my favourite travel razors....and for me..... 'knocks spots' off the Gillette Techs I have used. The Durasharps are incredibly sharp. They are cheap...so I usually bin after 2 shaves to avoid problems with rust.
3 Pass BBS and I am set for an afternoon horse riding in the Brecon Beacons.

Have a nice day everyone!

Finally figured out how to post photos on here instead of using photobucket. Thanks to @Blademonkey and @newbie for their guidance.

Prep: Hot shower and L'oreal Charcoal face wash.
Pre: King of shaves oil.
Razor: King Cobra
Razor blade: Proline (2)
Brush: Thater 4125/2 (3 Band)
Cream: Extro Bergamotto di Calabria
Post: Thayers witch hazel and Fine Platinum

An excellent shave with the KC currently on loan from @Acer89. A little irritation on my top lip and a two weepers but a very close and smooth shave.

The Extro cream is excellent stuff. Well worth a punt if you are thinking about buying some.

Have a good week chaps.

Laters

Blimey @vassili - you're brave wearing Herod in this weather. Great scent!

If you are a fan of a more diminutive brush - and horse hair - have a look at the Vie Long 13120 series - they do three versions. I enjoyed using mine as a travel brush until I got a Wee Scot and then - grudgingly - accepted a synth was probably the most practical solution. You can get them from the lovely Juan at G&C - I'm sure other people sell them too. They don't cost much. cheers - I.
