Result: A big day today - a tree planting in memory of my late father organised by the village in which he lived. So it was important to get the day of to a good start with a nice, relaxing, smooth shave. So out came the big guns and they delivered. It was splendid, even happy with the Astor which was a first timer for me.

Have a good weekend, gents.

Jon

Home made lemon eucalyptus aftershave

Excellent although there's too much fragrance in my aftershave. Getting complaints from the neighbours! Watered and WitchHazelled it down a bit
 
Pre: Village Barber oil
Soap: Mike's Barbershop
Brush: El Druida redwood handle, 24mm synthetic
Razor 1: Gold Dollar #66
Razor 2: Ikon OSS
Blade: NOS Wilkinson Sword UK (5)
Post: Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, followed by Village Barber balm

Mike's soap whipped up a lovely creamy lather with an amazing classic scent.
The GD-66 still has a keen edge. I stropped it good to loan it to a coworker who's never used a straight before. WTG pass with the GD, XTG/ATG passes with the Ikon.
