Very close 3 pass shave. Lavanille is an experience; intoxicating scent and rich, creamy beige suds.
Outstanding residual slickness and post-shave feel.

~SOTD~ 11th SEptember MondayPrep....Shower ~ Olive oil soap
Razor....Ever Ready 1912 Brass travel set
Blade....Ever Ready Corrux NOS
Soap....Palmolive Stick (Tallow )
Brush....Simpsons ~ Wee Scot
Post....BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent....Chanel ~ Bleu...oil from Mr Perfume
A wonderful close shave using my brass Ever Ready 1912 , I face lathered with the Palmolive stick and the Wee Scot and was was amazed that such a small brush like this could hold enough lather for a three pass shave but it did with some to spare! I finnished off with the BBA PSB followed by a light application of Chanel Bleu.
This would have been the perfect travel set to have with me should I have been away.
Wishing you all a happy Monday.......

Tabac A/S Lotion
Kept it simple on Sunday, as out for the day.Cannot go wrong with Tabac , easy to lather and nice and slick. All went well but for some unknown reason got it a bit wrong on the chin, a weeper which
was quelled by the alum.

Must get into the habit of shaving daily again as slipping back into bad habits of leaving it 3,4 or even 5 days as been off from work on holiday.
Look like a tramp and scruffy!
I waiting to use the very last of the random sticks and cream I've got and I'll make some new soap purchases. Maybe this will encourage me to shave a little more often?

Yaqi 24mm Synthetic Brush
GEM G-Bar with a GEM SS Blade
Lucky Tiger Toner/AS
Molecule 01 ISO E Super
A little more minimalistic than I had originally intended. First use of the GEM G-Bar. That is what it was sold to be as....but confirmation would be appreciated! Really smooth 3 pass shave. To me the razor felt quite mild.
Correction.....I now know that this is a variant of the Featherweight!

3 days growth wacked off!
Razor: WS Quattro (1)
Brush: Simpsons Chubby Synthetic
Cream: TFH No10
Post: TFH No10
Hair: Denman Eau Du Portugal
Thought I'd give the Quattro a go. A nicer shave than the Hydro but I'm unsure if I'll get 10 shaves from it like I do the Hydro. Although it'll be a couple days til I get any 'dramas'.
Blissful shave with music in the background, ready for the day now, well post coffee.

Greetings All,
Monday shave.
One and a bit days' growth and warm shave
Preparation – face washed with Clique facial scrub
Pre: None
Soap: RazoRock XX
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: PolSilver (1st)
Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir (face lather)
Post Shave: Cold water rinse, a shower and to conclude Proraso aftershave lotion (green) and Nivea 2 Phase.
Brought my Merkur 34c back into use this week and it felt like being back with a long lost friend – this is a very nice razor. Each time I take a break from the Merkur 34c and come back to it, my technique seems to improve and my shaving is better. I think this is the first time pairing the Merkur 34c with the Polsilver blade – NICE.
Razorock XX- I really want to say nice things about this soap – it has a very pleasant scent, creates a thick lather but lacks in residue slickness.
Overall, 3 passes and nearly BBS without any pickups and no crimson - good start to hopefully a good week.
Cheers,
Brian
Happy Monday, Everyone

Pre: Lots of cold water
Brush: Omega 20102 Boar
Soap: PAA Solstice
Razor: WS Empire
Blade: Hollow Ground
Post: More cold water, Vitamin E oil, Pinaud Clubman
Decided to stick with the more efficient razor after yesterdays wonderful experience, but I must've moved the blade exposure when drying it last time.
This is a very good razor but I need to put Blu Tack or something on the blade exposure control to ensure I get the same shave each and every time without phaffing about.
