Result: Very nice indeed. The Valet is a joy to use when partnered by the Feather. A nice Vetiver finish too. Will need to work on how to get the best from the big boar knot and QCS, but it's not far away.

Have a good weekend.

Pre shave hot water shave oil
Brush from Midas
Soap club cola from wickham soap
Great shave with the Adaration Axe
nannys French lavender post shave oil
Crabtree and Evelyn West Indian lime [attachment=10615]
 
[attachment=10617] using a EJ89 with pol silver blade (best blade I've ever used but I hard to source). Great combo I find as the razor is quite mild but blade is very sharp.

About 1am to try to cure some uncharacteristic insomnia:

Edwin Jagger DE89
Henk walnut silvertip
Imperial Leather bowl shaving soap c.1970s
Personna Platinum Chrome
Nivea Original aftershave balm

Excellent BBS result. Didn't cure the insomnia though.
 
Shower
3P Pre
Proraso Green Soap
Merkur Futur
Polsilver
Alcolado Glacial
Bulldog Moisturiser
Blue Stratos EDT

Nice, cool shave this morning.
 
First DE shave in a fair while:

Cella soap lethered with NF brush

Effortless, efficient shave as ever from the DLC.

Floris ASL to complete the deal.

Damn Fine Shave!

MRGLO
Village Barber Oil
CJB Kamisori
Dorco Barber Blade (4)
Wickham Soap Company Super Smooth Bay Rum
Vulfix 404 "Bodger"
Matchplay AS
Matchplay EdT

4 shaves in and the CJB still providing excellent, 2 pass shaves. Can't wait until I've mastered this one and am able to whip it across my face in no time!
 
SATURDAY AFTERNOON

Pre: Hot rinse
Soap: Arko stick - face lathered
Brush: Semogue OC cherry boar
Razor: Gillette LC New
Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra
Post: Veg, Village Barber balm
EDT: Caron Pour Un Homme EDT

Uber-slothful morning meant I didn't get washed until about half twelve!

Nice close shave, but a few weepers. These blades are quite aggressive for me so I don't think my lather could have been all that.

Am now sat in our new summerhouse listening to the rain on the roof. Very relaxing.
