Soap: Proraso sensitive
Brush: Semogue 620
Razor: Gillette new head on a aluminium tech handle
Blade: Astra SP

Really good shave today, usually find the new a bit aggressive and nearly always get a nick, but working on the heavy head makes the razor less aggressive seems to work and on the ultra light aluminium tech handle gave a reality nice smooth shave.

Maybe I should mix and match my razors a bit more.

Tech head on a stainless steel handle next....

This brush is really good. Super soft, great with creams, it wips up lather like a madman. Really a surprising brush. :icon_smile:

Been round my little stable of razors this past month. This LC New is still my favourite. Time for a bit of a shake up. Cased Aristocrat #21 and maybe a Fat Handle Tech likely to end up on BST. Have a Progress on the way and going to be keeping my eye out for some short comb OCs.

After a week off work decorating the kitchen and my bathroom, I broke out the big guns for my first shave back in my regular bathroom.

Rubberset re knotted with Omega (Thanks Ratty, blooming rather well now)
Wickhams Supersmooth Sandlewood, good stuff indeed
Scottish NOS 1960's Perma Sharp
Darwin hand made in Gods own country
Myrsol F Extra

Using the spare bathroom was ok, but it'a good to be back. Like the new packaging from Wickhams, easier to load and a little more practical for me than the old pancake tubs

Darwin is good, no real blade exposure, no real blade gap but by jingo it is efficient! Wouldn't like to use it every day!

Have a great evening chaps..

Hmmm, didn't know there was a Hawkridge OS AS. Where did you pick that up from?

What is the scent like?
