As always a very enjoyable shave using my Birthyear slim.
The vintage brush and cream whipped up plenty of the good stuff, easily enough for my 3 passes.
Finishing with a nice post shave routine leaving smooth, clean and fresh.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
 
Razor = Karve Christopher Bradley ( C )
Blade = Brazilian Wilko ( 1 )
Brush = That Darn Robb 26mm Boar
Soap = Noble Otter Neon Son
with matching splash & Edp
Balm = Nivea Sensitive
IMG_1980.jpegAnother first class 3 pass shave today.
The Karve paired with the wilko was a dream,
Before i got these blades i thought it was all hype because they were pretty much unobtainable but that’s not the case,
They really are a fine blade & probably my favourite at the moment.
If i could only use one blade this would be it.

This is my new friend lol
she comes and gets apples & oranges from me everyday.
They are not friendly but are getting better,
Mind you i won’t go near them for fear of disease but i find them cute,
They now look out for my truck when they see me.
I think this one needs a shave

  • Polsilver SI (1)
  • Vulfix 404
  • Bee Clean Peppermint Soap
  • Proraso Green AS
Having really struggled to lather the Bee Clean soap, I dismissed it & put it to the back of the cupboard. Not used it for months. Decided to go back to it, and bowl lather to see if that worked. Pleased to report that it did. Beautiful thick lather, and a lovely smell ta'boot. Containing honey & sheep milk - a lovely feeling to the skin post shave. Very refreshing. From God's Own Country too ;) Going to try their hand-soap next.

Thank you to @pjgh & @Blademonkey for the recommendations.

Found this video which showcases their work and approach to sourcing local products.
