Very good shave with the ever dependable 1912.
I gave the T&H Apsley another go. I did put it up for sale after one use but I'm glad I kept hold of it. The scent has grown on me and the cream is a step up from Grafton.

Prep ~ Shower using Birch Tar Soap
Razor ~ Rockwell 6c set to 6
Blade ~ Polsilver Stainless ( Lodz Poland)
Soap ~ Meissner -Tremonia , Bay Rum Paste
Brush ~ Simpson Wee Scot
Scuttle ~ Giles Shaving Co
Post ~ BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent ~ Tom Ford Tabacco Vanille......oil from Mr Perfume

@Wayne Pritchard is getting a shout out this morning because I'm still using his Rocwell 6c and today I used the M-T Bay Rum paste he sent me. Cheers Wayne, you're a star :)

I've used M-T Soaps before and enjoy them but this was a first, a paste, not a cream, not a soap but inbetween.
It was fantastic! I whipped it up with the wee Scot and it gave be an abundance of mousse like lather in no time at all and it was fabulous.
The scent filling my bathroom as I was whipping away with the Wee Scot. Top stuff .
The Razor is just fool proof and I would recommend this to someone new to this game or even someone who has been proper shaving for a while.
Everyone should have a Wee Scot, it punches well above its weight and even when face lathering will hold more than enough for three passes.

The shave, it was great, every part of it was good so how could I fail?

Whishing you all a fabulous day but let's be careful out there......:)

Mohammad was very disappointed with how this soap's scent turned out and upon close inspection, I understand why however; when you actually catch a whiff of what he had in mind, you will be blown away because it's just that wonderful. Not everyone will love a particular scent and that's especially the case when you are going with complexity but when they do click...cult status. One of the other reasons to try Mohammad's soap is easily for the post shave effect which is easily one of the best out there, if not the best. Great shave and I had to use a 'lil somethin' for Lavendursday...absolutely love the Caldey Island Lavender, such a pure and sweet lavender.

I'm quite looking forward to giving the 6C a go when mine arrives! I found the 6S a little awkward for some reason, but probably didn't give it enough air-time (which is typical of me)! :D

Also the Meißner Tremonia Natural Bay Rum splash is really rather nice! :D Great post-shave feel to it and scent to boot! I've seen the Wee Scots around a fair amount, they look like they'd make a great travel brush! :)
