Soap - Tabac Stick
Brush - Yaqi Sagrada Tuxedo
Razor - Fat Handle Tech
Blade - Lancet Advance Platinum (1)
Post - AS Brut Oceans

First time using this particular blade by Lancet, it felt very similar to the Lancet Super Platinum so much so I'd say they were the same blade. The last LSP I used on it's first use was fairly smooth on the first pass, but much sharper after and this new LAP performed exactly the same. The results of the shave were excellent, my face is very smooth and it was a comfortable shave.
The last LSP I used worked very well in an Old Type so that will be the razor used for tomorrow's shave.

Have a good Sunday gents.

14/03/21
Pre: Shower
Brush: DS Cosmetics synth
Soap: Signature Soap Britannia
Razor: PILS 101 NL Hi Polished "Thor's Hammer"
Blade: Feather Hi Stainless (1)
Post shave: Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Floïd Balm
Aftershave: Floïd SE Mentolado Vigaroso



A wonderful shave today with the PILS paired with a new Feather, so smooth.
1st time use for me with the Signature soaps Britannia, @BrianH did say it is a "Marmite" soap and as i am not a massive fan of Menthol mintyness i was not expecting to be in the "I like it" camp, however, i am one of the ones who does like it.
The description "Fragranced with a careful balance of Aniseed, Spearmint and Peppermint Essential Oils" is spot on and all the ingredients seem to compliment each other, the Aniseed balancing the sweetness of the mint. I found the Eboracum similar, the Cedarwood complimenting the peppermint and taking some of the "sweetshop" away, i suppose i just do not favour out and out, stand alone sweet, minty scents.
The lather was really nice, produced with a face lathering.
I only needed 2 passes today for a BBS and Oh so comfortable finish.
I finished with the Floïd post shave products leaving me clean, smooth, "stimulated" and ready for the day ahead.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Thanks Paul for your kind words
Maybe it’s just me that’s bored
10 days in lockdown now & it’s taking it’s toll a bit.
was meant to be released lol today however we have had test results back & we’re not getting out until we’ve all had negative tests.
I need to get out of here quick just to stop me spending

Yes I have found that my spending goes up the longer I'm locked down, but hey ho what can you do!
Take care Mike.

Paul.

@Boycie83 has an emporium? I never knew. He needs to be more proactive in his matter.

Vendor fee's are the least of your worries, it's the tax man you need to be thinking about!!!

A very pleasant close and comfortable shave this morning. The Ikon Deluxe gives a wonderful shave with a Feather blade. Fourth day in a row using the Danum soap and after shave and my skin is feeling the benefit and my nose is appreciating the the scent.
