Blade – Permasharp.
Brush - 'The Duke' (Duke 3 Best)
Soap – Barrister & Mann – Hallows
Post - Cold water rinse, Tallow + Steel – Dark Aftershave
just finished an 18 hour shift, so I was allowed the night off to compensate... made the most of it with a 'full' mid week shave... still not what I'd call a stellar shave with the Hallows, but decent enough...

Razor: Gibbs Adjustable No 17 w/ Polsilver SI
Soap: Extro Arzachena Shaving Cream
Post: Extro Arzachena aftershave
Extro Special shave today, first use of their cream and splash and what a scent too. Love first sight.
First use of a Gibbs No 17 razor I acquired off @Blademonkey and my gosh what a comfortable and smooth shaver. Everywhere I have searched all the reviews are glowing and after my initial use, I will be adding my own name to that list. I used a Polsilver and followed the advice I was given and everything was smooth sailing. I am looking forward to trying all the settings. If you get an opportunity to try one, take it.
Beautiful razor.

Thank you, it is a beauty and shaves like a dream. The handle is supposed to be black but the plastic sheathes were prone to cracking, I do prefer how it looks now. If my first use anything to go by it is better than any Gillette or Merkur adjustables I have used in the past.

Post Shave - Alum Block & Avon Balm

This is my 5th DE shave & im getting faster, but still giving respect to the blade.
I've binned the blade as it was a little grabby, assume that's a sign to replace?
When funds allow I want/need to buy a bowl, a nice citrus post shave balm & a splash on aftershave.
Thanks to all your help.
