Smells a bit better than that would suggest. Damn phone's auto-correct can be a ducking pain in the arsenal

Warm shower
Proraso pre, menthol
Omega 10219, MWF
Weber polished, Polsilver SI (2)
Cold splash, alum block
Clinique post-shave healer
Gucci Intense Black EDT
I was aiming for a very comfortable DFS, and that's what I got.
First try out for a boar brush, using one of the Omega brushes I got on me hols. I feel I've gone over to the dark side... how good was that cheapie little brush? And it works really well with hard soap.
I won't be selling my Simpson and NF brushes just yet (heh! heh!) but I am going to Portugal in September, so I'll keep an eye out for some Semogue brushes.

Razor- Gillette Bostonian
Blade- Sputnik
Brush- Muhle silvertip fibre 23mm
Cream- T&H no10
Balm - T&H no10
After Shave The Veg!
Tried a few firsts today and was mightily impressed! First time in absolute ages I've used the Bostonian and forgot how good this razor really is,I was considering sticking it on the BST soon but won't be now:icon_razz:
Paired it with a Sputnik as was advised and seems to be the dream team!
First go with the Muhle fibre brush and am very impressed with it probably got lucky with judging how much water to leave in after a soak but lathered up like a good un, think I may get another of these!
Also first time using T&H no10 very nice cream and balm for what they cost from Creighton's no brainer really , not the first time I've used the Veg but what can you say about it you either love it or hate it and I,m in the love it camp:icon_razz:
Oh and a bloody nice shave all round!

Cut down 1920s Ballend OC
Wilkinson sword Blade
NSS Cedarwood & Vetyver
Kent BK8 Brush
Floris No 89
Result BSS WTG
Take a good look at this razor as it won't be seen again for a long time probably when hell freezes over is when you'll see it again, interesting to see just how far Gillette had to go with the design and technology front before the glory years.

Evening, all.
Sunday:
Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89 with iKon Bulldog handle
Blade: Personna lab (2)
Brush: Wilkinson Sword
Shave soap: Kell's Aloe and Hemp, Energy
A/S: Homemade Kölnisch Wasser
Cologne: Bronnley's Gentlemens Eau de Toilette
Some irritation straight after the shave (I blame the Wilkinson brush) which quickly cleared up leaving me closely-shaved and smelling good on this very hot day.

Prep: Cold rinse
Soap: Cella - facelathered
Brush: Simpson Duke 3 butterscotch in best
Razor: Kai Excelia kamisori
Blade: Feather Proguard
Post: Witch hazel, Proraso balm
Two passes and some touch ups. Couple of minor weepers but overall an excellent smooth shave with the satisfaction of seeing the kamisori wiping away a day and a bits growth.
