Staying with the outlaws this weekend and, using the family bathroom, I noticed that her brother shaves with a DE. Merkur 34c, Taylor's Sandalwood soap, an EJ brush and a selection of Derbys and Feathers. Good on him!

A lovely shave. A cool shower followed by a cold water, double menthol shave was exactly what was needed to freshen up. The Voskhod blade has been excellent in the Aristocrat.

I haven't had an opportunity to post here in a while. Today's shave was top notch. The new Reddit brush feels great - it has a real firmness, but has a smooth and sleek feel to it that seems to give it a really good flow through. I'll have to break it in properly to give a decent opinion though.

Day 8 on the Vintage Personna draws its usefulness to a close. Not due to dullness, but it is beginning to rust. Great blade from the decade of the 1960s.
The TGN Synthetic in this setup almost matches the performance of the FS Pur-Tech and the Muhle V2 STF. Great Knot with soft tips and good backbone due to its density.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
Savile Row badger
'Webly'/Wilkinson Light Brigade (NOS)
Kent SS
Neutrogena oil free moisture
Roger & Gallet L'Homme 'Sport' EdT
Last shave with this excellent old blade. After 6-7 uses it's just now starting to pull a bit. Yeah, they don't make em like they used to.
The Kent post shave skin care is about the best I've found. Almost like getting some kinda treatment as I shave. Nice stuff.
BBS results,

Maybe it's in my head, but I seem to get a closer shave whenever I use Martin de Candre soap, regardless of blade/razor combo.
