Blade: Treet Dura Sharp (1)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: La Toja in a bowl

Very nice and close shave. After the first WTG pass I could really have stopped with a near BBS.
 


Pre hot towel + Martin de Candre soap sample + L'Occitane Plissson brush + Gillette Mach3 with metallic handle + Mennen Grand Large splash

A lovely french shave! This week I've been testing this Mach3 handle from a very kind forum user and I'm delighted with it! It will be for sure an excellent adittion for my airports travel kit!

Leisurely warm sandalwood shave. Topped it off with Trumper's sandalwood EdT from our favourite eBay seller. If you haven't picked one up yet, get yourself a bargain.

Have a great weekend, folks.

Was getting a bit bored of the Fatboy so i turned it all the way up. Turns out it's great at the high numbers. Super smooth shave, no nicks. Nothing beats Speick a/s - it always feels great

AS: Village Barber balm

First time with MWF. I didn't get the lather perfect but I got a glimpse of perfection (just a glimpse). Lather was amazingly slick, more-so than any other soap I've tried yet. It was so slick, that while washing up I felt like I put on Teflon gloves! I can see why folks drop/smash their MWF ceramic bowls (I nearly did). In the end, I should have used more water since lather started to dissipate and was too airy. Next time...
