Brush: Frank Shaving 20mm Best Badger
Cream: Edwin Jagger Limes & Pomegranate
Razor: Vigshaving combination head (open comb side) on RazoRock bamboo SS handle
Blade: Feather (1)

It was the Bristol 10k yesterday (now the avatar makes sense!). A bit of a warm one so no PBs, but comfortably in the top 1,000 (well, by seven seconds :/)

All that sun and exercise seem to have stimulated the follicles, so I decided to bust out the dreaded Feathers, my first try with them. They behaved with perfect gentility, leaving neither nick nor cut nor weeper, whilst getting me very nicely smooth. Colour me impressed.

I understand that longevity is not considered their strong suit, so we'll see how they do over the course of the week (or possibly less).

Happy shaving, all.

Razor: Charcoal Goods Lvl 2 DC | Magnum
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (6)
Brush: C&R | Declaration 'B3'
Soap: Mammoth Soaps v9
​
Very nice shave this morning with the v9 base from Mammoth Soaps. The scent notes include: tobacco, orange, and spices. It's a very warm and enjoyable scent. Compared to the v6 base I used on Saturday, this base was a much better performer with notable improvements in slickness, residual slickness, and post-shave feel. I also noticed that this version is much thirstier than the v6, I had to add a ton of water to get it just right.

A great start to the week and I've decided to make a conscious mental effort to remove Vitos from the fantastic budget soap compartment in my brain to the fantastic soap compartment.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Soap: Soapy Science ‘MINT MINT'

Well, that was a really enjoyable shave! I seriously couldn't fault it... the lather whipped up light, fluffy, and shiny.. slickness was spot on, as was the residual slickness... definitely no problems there... In fact, it was that enjoyable, that I was making extra passes just for the fun of it... Yeah, a great start to my week.
