Prep- Tepid water splash
Soap- Le Pere Lucien Original
Brush- SOC
Razor- ATT R2 Kronos
Blade- Personna 'Barber" [2]
Post- Fine Fresh Vetiver AS
Received the soap and aftershave and dashed to the bathroom for a shave! The soap lathered up easily but I put too much on and had to dilute on the face to prevent drying out during shave; the soap has good glide and protection and smells of medicinal/woodsy scent which I find pleasant. The Fresh Vetiver AS is superb on a sunny Spring day! :icon_razz:

LPL when dialled in is a cracking soap.
It wasn't love at first use for me but soon got the hang of it and enjoyed it very much so.

WEDNESDAY EVENING
Razor: Schick Stick
Blade: Chick
Brush: Muhle V2 synthetic
Cream: Refinery gel
AS: Hai Karate
Balm: Village Barber balm
Am going away shortly so thought I'd experiment with one possible travel setup.
Have to say this gel is brilliant. Probably the best canned goop I've used (even better than Noxzema!)

Snap (almost)
I was testing a travel setup as well.
Razor: Schick Stick
Blade: Personna
Brush: Body Shop Synthetic
Soap: Homemade MWF\Palmolive shaving stick
AS: Old Spice Noir \ Baby oil light spray.
Been a while since I used a synthetic, I think the lather was a bit thin due to too much water. Ended up with a few nicks.
Might take the Proraso travel kit with the mini boar instead.

Soap : 'Lilac' created by John Hallock AKA The Mad Scientist
Brush : Simpsons Classic 2 Best Badger
Razor : Merkur 1904
Blade : Scottish Perma-Sharp
Post : Pitralon + TOBS Herbal Aftershave Cream
Fragrance : Geo F Trumper Ajaccio Violets
Fine shave! John's creations and scents are great, I believe he uses Arko soap then gives it a twist. Next up for me is his 'Honeysuckle Fir' soap. Also have a tube of Bozzano shave cream from Brazil! Anyone tried this one before?
