A fab shave from my only modern DE adjustable razor I acquired from @nolisco along with loads of soap samples and blades....a very generous man indeed, thank you my friend.

A good close shave helped along by the fab Sterling soap, this razor will join the rotation along with my vintage adjustables and other razors.

Have a great day.....

Thursday 9th...

Soap - The Fat
Brush - Semogue 2000 boar
Face lather
Razor - Gillette Slim Adjustable (6)
Blade - Gillette 7 o' Clock Yellow #3
Post - Thayer's and Floïd MV

Great brush (thanks again @Blademonkey). It lathered up the Fat a treat for its first use: I don' t think it will take too much time to break in; as it feels good on the face already.

A smashin' shave today; bbs with three trouble-free passes and a touch-up. Cool burn with the Floïd to finish. Be well, folks.

Hello Gents,

Razor - Feather Popular TTO
Blade - Trig
Cream - Erasmic
Brush - Vulfix 404
Aftershave - Old Spice
Balm - Gentleman's Hardware Sandalwood
Bowl - Stainless steel food prep bowl

The Feather Popular is a lovely mild razor, which I find myself reaching for more and more lately....A nice 'reliable' shave with this set up - no (real) fear of a cut / nick, yet smooth and close. The classic scent from the Erasmic is complemented by the Old Spice.
I wouldn't usually bowl lather a cream, but didn't have much (cream) to work with...

Morning all!
Nice leisurely start today, so two pots of proper fresh ground coffee then into the shower.
Muhle r89
Grosvenor boar and badger
Voskhod Teflon blade 1st,
Tabac soap
Exec pre shave oil,
3 pass with no problems, nice close shave, voskhod blade seemed to glide nicely.
Tabac deodorant and splash to complete.
Seems very decadent starting the day like this, perk of being your own boss I suppose.
Have a great one.:)
