[Digimonkey]

I've just had one of my best all time shaves. Possibly Top 5 territory.
Everything went well all at the same time, and the feeling is great!

wilko coconut and vanilla body butter
Truefitt & Hill No10 cream
RazoRock 400 Plissoft Noir
Merkur 37c/Shark SS (2)
Homemade witch hazel/tea tree
Proraso Green ASL

Three faultless passes executed, and every stroke was a pleasure.
The 95p body butter worked some kind of magic, and it complemented the scent of the No 10 very well. I'll be using it regularly in future.
The Shark blade was on its second outing, having used it in my DE89 yesterday.
Paired with the 37c it was the perfect definition of sooth and efficient.
The 37C is definitely my favourite razor. It's much smoother than the DE89, and more predictable than the Futur.
I will be using the same set up tomorrow to see if I can replicate today's insanely great shave!

What you said - the Truefitt & Hill No. 10 cream doesn't get its due praise. I must dig mine out for my next shave. cheers - I.

At my buddy's house in Phnom Penh, up at 4:30am, third day massive jet lag , situation calls for a one pass shave, and the SABI/Mastiff head on the Rockwell handle gets me near BBS in that one pass with shave oil only. Permasharp with one shim.

Razor: ED89
Blade: Feather
Soap: mhule sea buckthorn
Brush: L'occitane plissoft

Great Shave today. I haven't used the feather blade since starting out and trying to find one that worked. Clearly it was my inexperience that was holding me back as today's Shave was fantastic, efficient and smooth. The brush always performs well and the soap was part of a sample box. Great performance but not sure of the smell. Smells a bit like wine that's a bit off and far too sweet

Semogue Brush. It took me a while to get used to as I found it hard up to the first 6 shaves. I preserved and now its rotated regularly in my set ups.

Edwin Jagger Safety (not sure which model)
Shark Super blade (0)
T&F oil
T&F Trafalgar soap.
Alum block
T&F Trafalgar balm.
T&F Cologne.
My usual weekend routine it varies in the week. Love the Trafalgar range my weekend go to.

Love the Shark blades, I get about 5 shaves out of 1.

The Jagger is an alternative found in my shaving box, only used a couple of times. Heavier than my muhle R41.

Great shave, 2 passes and done.

Off to play golf now.....have a great fathers day whatever your doing....

Slightly off point, do people change their stuff from week to weekend or us it justo me?

A bit of glamour to proceedings today, a good soap, small though and light to medium scent. Nice and fresh. No rhyme an reason to pair it with Myrsol Plastic, just fancied it. Great shave again with razor and blade combo. ​
