BBA Shave oil
Semogue 2000
The Fat
ATT S2 Astra
Alum
Extro Bay Rum

Superb shave this morning, the BBA/Fat combo gave a great glide and cushion, no nicks or burn, eschewed any balm went straight in with a bay rum splash.

Considering an SE,....would the usual enablers suggest ones to look at please:)

I have just ordered the ATT SE1 with bamboo handle - waiting for it to arrive.

I love the BBA shave oil, it is going to be one of my shave staples.

Just had a brilliant offer of a Supply from a member on here, too good to pass up:)
The BBA range is a winner IMO. The shave oil, at first didn't impress, but I didn't give it much of a chance, I now love it,....their moisturiser and Post Shave balm are superb as is the Face Wash.

@Emma C. Used the shave oil on my soul patch, very nice. The post Shave balm is lovely, wasn't expecting that colour, but no issues. Left my skin smooth & nice fragrance, thank you.

@Sid James Did my cheeks with the feather, cut myself whilst using my left hand, so I walked away, will persevere, thanks again.

It's also a great facial oil. Try it before you go to bed after using a face wash.
 
I've definitely found my favourite style of handle. I love the ergonomic shape to these barber style brushes. This El Druida Manchurian is a keeper[emoji7]
On another note , apologies to Sapone Di Paolo because my poor shave recently was at least in one aspect down to the blade. I swapped this Kai Captain Mild out after pass 1 for a Feather Pro and it was silky smooth thereafter.

Pre: DR Harris Coconut soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Savile Row 3824 Silvertip Badger
Soap: Speick stick
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Sticky
Blade: Vintage Polsilver (4)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion
EdC: DR Harris Arlington

Last shave in the bush.

Got the lather right this time, and thus a very comfortable three pass shave. The Sticky is not as efficient as the ATT M2, but is very easy to master, and rarely yields weepers or irritation - a really great go-to razor.
I have enjoyed using the Arlington cologne on this trip - whilst a Fern composition from the opposite side of the Globe, it worked well with the native autumn bush scents of the Great Sandy Desert, which was surprisingly fertile and green following record rainfall.
