Morning chaps,

T&H No. 10 cream, face lathered
TOBS Pure Badger travel brush
Muhle R41
Sputnik (1)
Cold rinse, witch hazel
Williams Aqua Velva
Eucris to finish

One pass BBS. The Sputnik blades are something else. Combined with the R41 it just sheared three days of growth off my face. No touch up, nothing. I am literally speechless. I've never achieved that, especially with that much growth. Even the patchy bit on lower jaw is gone. Very worthy blade.

Pre: Almond oil
Brush: Omega 49
Soap: Wickham Super Smooth Garden mint
Razor;Blade: Muhle R89; Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
Post: Almond oil, washed off after 1 min.

3 passes. Decided to try almond oil as a post shave instead of usual witch hazel or alum as I read it has emollient properties and my skin has been extra dry recently. Garden mint is nice fresh way to start the day!
