Brush - Goodfellas Wild Hog
Soap - Lea Professional Cream
Razor - Flat Bottom Tech
Blade - Gillette 365 (3)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Benjamins Bay Rum w/Menthol
The third shave with the 365 was the best to date, I think it is better suited to the Ball End Tech than the other Techs I used before.

First shave with my newly acquired Seygus Zeppelin Ti 0.9 razor.
Paired with a Feather blade, it was a smooth and effective shave.
Exciting what my judgement will be when the razor have had +10 shaves in. Time will tell.
Enjoy the day Gentlemen

Just had a fantastic shave with my new Koraat the Thuringian edge that @SammieM put on for me was exceptionally smooth.. very nice shave in all and I can see many more enjoyable shaves to come with this one ! Enjoyed the microwave hot towel jobby feeling rather pampered and lovely and smooth

Forgot to ask yesterday, but what’s the scent like on this one Chris. I believe it’s a take on Tom Ford’s F’ing Fabulous? Not that I’ve experienced it?

Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
LEA Shaving Stick (Grated)
RazoRock 400 (Orange) w/Omega Professional Boar
Yaqi AC w/KCG Handle
Feather ProGuard (2)
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla Aftershave
The Feather ProGuard has really smoothed out now on its second shave, delivering a smoothness that I'd normally associate with a Platinum Chrome blade. Very much enjoyed!
First run out with 'Big Orange' which is a RazoRock 400 handle with an Omega Professional boar knot retro-fitted. Yes, I've used Omega knots before so nothing came as a great surprise, but it was certainly very nice to run that knot around in a bright orange handle. Again, very much enjoyed!
Another first, with my first use of Ganders Goat soap. I've been looking for a really simple ingredient soap as a face soap and happened upon this maker - the soap puts me very much in mind of proper Marseille soap. It's just four ingredients at its core: rapeseed oil, goat milk, coconut oil and lye. They make a number of soap types, including one with honey, one with birch tar, another with raspberry seeds (as an exfolient), a floral one, a gardeners one and one with hessian layered into it (again, as an exfolient). I bought a few bars and started to use the one with birch tar first. I'm also using the one with hessian as bath soap.
Lovely stuff! Creamy lather, clean feeling once washed off and a balanced, soft moisturising long-term feel presumably due to the high amounts of oleic acid in the rapeseed, an oil which penetrates deeply into the skin rather than sitting on the top surface like many adjuncts in shaving soap. Curious to do the post-shave moisture care in the pre-shave stage.
Yeah! Very much enjoyed!!!

Bear with me whilst I try to describe this T. I've not smelt the TF to compare. I'd describe it as a classic powdery Barbershop scent but a little more refined whilst retaining a hint of sweetness. I really like it.

So a little more refined than the classic OSP Barbershop then, if you’ve tried that? What am I talking about, of course you have!
Lovely. Not making an appearance on The Emporium then?

Definitely not - this one is a keeper
I sold the original OSP Barbershop - mine had a bit of a tallow whiff to it
