Brush: vulfix 404 'Grosvenor
Razor: Hone Type 15
Blade: Supermax Super Platinum (1)
Soap: Pre de Provence No 63
Post: Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel & Old Spice Original

Day three of cold water shaves and I am very much enjoying them, I don't know if the Hone is a cold water razor it felt less gliding than usual but that coud be lather. A good shave was had in any case. The soap is interesting, I got it off a BST as part of a lot. I see Tabac throw about so I wasn't looking forward to it. It is a nice scent, doesn't smell like Tabac to me. I get a more subdued Calani Oriental Plum minus the richness and plum. Lathered superbly well with the Vulfix (under-rated brush!). Finished off with a classic.​

It's good soap, really good and I've compaired it to Tabac before but only in the way it lathered up so easly , as you say it smells nothing like Tabac. :)

It was more like Calani Oriental Plum but everywhere I read it says tobacco so I assumed it would be a bit like Tabac, which I hate so much. Pleasantly surprised and the lather was most excellent.

Great shave, wished it wasn't morning otherwise I would have had a dramatic after☺.

Happy days

Cracking shave today. What a great soap LEA is. Easy to lather especially with the Zenith. The GEM blade is at its limit now and has been consigned to the role of hob scraper.
I am smooth and happy, hope you are as well.
