Prep ~ Valbora Glicerlanolina Soap, Shower
Razor ~ Olaf Rasmussen Surgical Prep (on loan)
Blade ~ KAI Stainless
Soap ~ Barrister And Mann - Leviathan
Brush ~ YaQi Moka Express Badger
Scuttle ~ Giles Shaving Co
Post ~ Vitos Tobacco Aftershave
Scent ~ Penhaligons - Sartorial

I picked out one of my favourite B&M soaps this morning and the first of their soaps I ever bought, this is my second tub of it and I have another in reserve just in case it stops getting made ;)
I thought I would try a Kai blade in the razor just out of curiosity and not because the Lodz Polsilver I used were not good enough. Well, I'm pleased I did because it pushed this razor into R41 territory, really efficient but extra care was needed so on ballance I think the Lodz Polsilver would be the blade of choice for me if I was to own such a razor.
I'm still loving this 26mm Badger, good backbone with sumptuous tips and if the lather happens to come warm from the scuttle it's probably more pleasurable that it should be......enough said.
Anyway , the shave was a good one and I'm looking as good as I'm going to at my age so I finnished off my Sunday shave with a spray or three of Sartorial from Penhaligons , perfect, perfect perfect. I do love my Sunday morning shaves and I hope you do too

Enjoy the lovely weather today! P.

After yesterday's mediocre shave with the L1 I needed my faith in injectors restored and the Pal was just the thing.
I love the S_J Panga Panga brush, Steven delivered exactly what I asked for and the quality of the knot is superb.
Have a good Sunday.

p.s. for those not old enough to remember this is a ha'penny:
