BBS-1/Stork :: Thater :: Sapone di Paolo
 
Razor: Timeless .95 OC w/Timeless Knurled Handle
Blade: Personna 74 Tungsten Steel (21)
Brush: Shavemac Zebra Honeycomb 2 Band
Soap: Reef Point Soap Tranquility
Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Capri
Bowl: Junichi Tanaka Scuttle

My usual 3 passes with touch up and ended up with a near BBS. For me this is a great combination of shaving gear. I get a close comfortable shave each and every time. Can't believe this Personna Tungsten Steel blade is still going strong.

Razor: PAA DOC
Blade: Polsliver SI (#4)
Brush: Plisson Pure Badger
Cream: Nivea Sensitive
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented

Mediocre shave today, the Nivea cream was great but the Polsilver SI seemed blunt and felt like it was tugging through the stubble, last time I used the PAA DOC it was on day 5 of an Iridium Super and that shave was great. No irritation this time but the shave did not feel that close in places.

It's my birthday, so time for a relaxed shave today. First time using my newly acquired #22, everything else is tried and tested. All in all a fantastic shave.
Happy birthday!
 
Hump day:
Razorock Plissoft
Thiers Arminius 6/8
Cyril R Salter Wild Rose
Warm/alum/cold
Argan oil
Myrsol Blue then Old Spice

A decent shave using a gorgeous new (to me, at least) razor from @Fergiebilly. She is as sharp as she is clean and glided through day-old stubble. I'm not going to shave on back-to-back days herein as I feel a bit sensitive after this morning's tidy-up. Myrsol Blue is quite nice and goes surprisingly well with a dash of new Old Spice - there's some residual powdery scent from the Myrsol complimented with sweet spices from Old Spice. It's settled down quickly and nicely.

Dydd hump hapus, pawb - happy hump day, all.
