Ahhhh, making the most of a child free morning with a nice & slow shave, followed by a coffee & of course a bit of a lie-in. Shout out to my in-laws!

Razor Supply provisions single edge (3 dot)
Blade. Schick #1
Soap OSP Orange & Patcholi
Brush Cadman bell
Post Thayers lavender AF witch hazel
EDP Touch. Burbrry
The perfect Sunday shave.
Have a good one
Sunday...
Soap - The Gentleman's Groom Room Highland Bothy
Brush - Semogue 1470
Face lather
Razor - Star 1912
Blade - Gem Personna
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal
Smell - Trumper's Eucris EdT
Second outing for the Star and I was pleasantly surprised. The first time, I found it far too mild and didn't give a good finish at all. It was like using a different razor today, so clearly it was operator error last time. Still on the mild side, but a nice smooth finish, albeit with one wee bit of burn on the neck, where I got carried away during ATG. So, not BBS, but definitely DFS (apologies for the acronyms).
The Highland Bothy is a great soap, imo; and the vetiver notes layer really well with those of the Eucris.
Happy Sunday, everyone.

What a smashing Shavmac, another one to add to my ever growing list of brushes I would love to purchaseFebruary 12, 2017
Well done on your first SOTD post, I hope there will be more to follow.My first post in this section so be gentle!
Omega 81064 boar brush
TFS Zagara Intenso soap
Slim Adjustable on 6
Gillette Rubio blade
Nivea sensitive balm
L'Oreal hydra energetic
This was my first 3 pass shave for a few days after massive neck irritation using a new razor and wearing a collar and tie.
Super close shave with just a modicum of neck soreness. The brush was on its first outing today and I'm hugely impressed, it's my second Omega and my fourth boar.
Edited to add, I hate photobucket, I had rotated and saved the photo!!!!!
