Brush: Stirling Finest Badger Fan
Razor: Hone Type 15
Soap: Wickhams 1912 Club Cola
Post: 4711 Nouveau Cologne

What a cracking shave to end the week with, my only gripe is that I could have loaded a little more soap. The brush is fantastic and so soft. What can be said about the soap that hasn't already? Top notch soap and I would not hesitate to recommend 1912 to anyone.

The Hone is working very nicely with Ladas blades, can even do ATG on my upper lip with no irritation or issue.​

Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Face Wash and Proraso Red
Razor: Gillette Tech Ball End
Blade: Iridium Super (#9)
Brush: Kent BLK4
Cream: ToBS Mr Taylors
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented
AS: Nivea Replenishing Balm

Shave number 9 from the Iridium Super, the shave felt rough compared to previous shaves so the blade is on its way out, however the end result was perfectly fine, well mostly. I managed a tiny nick on my lower lip and had one patch that could have been closer. I am not planning to keep going with this blade, 7 or 8 shaves seems quite respectable but will probably stick to 5 or 6. I will happily use up the rest of the Iridium Super blades, but would only buy more if the price was low enough, I suspect these blades are getting rare out in the wild now. It will be an SE shave tomorrow.
