Thu 23rd SOTD
Soap Colonel Conk Amber
Bowl Turkish Copper
Brush Yaqi 26mm Moka Express
Razor Gillette New SC
Blade Astra SP 1st
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers mix
Clubman Whisky Woods
Some patience + water turns into a nice lather, creamy and really slick. Scent mild-barely. Brush was really nice and pleasant on the face. Shave with razor and blade was nice and smooth but somehow not efficient. Not sure razor or blade. Next time will try with a feather. 3pass WTG, XTG, XTG/ATG + small xtg pickup under jawline. Did not try going atg under jawline today. Super refreshing with ice water rinse following that with Thayers and WhiskyWood. DFS on face to CCS under jawline results. Rating today 8/10

Pre: Sainsbury's / 1912 Frankensoap, Bergamot, Nectarine & Citrus Musk
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow 26mm
Soap: Stirling Soap co. Stirling Spice
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: GEM PTFE S/S (6)
Post shave: Cold water splash, EO infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Homemade Bay Rum Argan oil, Gucci by Gucci Balm
Aftershave: @Electrif 's Bay Rum #1
A fine lather from the soap and brush combo giving enough for 4 passes easily, richly scented and slick.
3, no issue passes today for a BBS result.
My Alum stone crumbled the other day, i think it lasted about 8 months from daily use. I have opened a new one, however, as i now rarely get anything from it i will only use it when i think i need it (i only have 4 unopened blocks left).
The post shave was going to be traditional old spice, however, i remembered i had some of @Electrif 's Bay Rum splash which he kindly gifted me a tester bottle
, very nice it is too. Therefore today i used my Bay Rum Argan Oil and Arthur's splash, very nice.
Feeling & Smelling real good.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Pre - Trumpers Sandalwood Skin Food
Cream - Trumpers Eucris
Brush - New Forest
Razor - Merkur 34G
Blade - Wilkinson (6)
Post - Alum, followed by Trumpers Sandalwood Skin Food
A two pass shave, I only done a few touch-ups on my XTG pass. A very nice shave. I still don't think this Trumpers cream is great. Compared to others I've used, between passes after rinsing, my face feel quite tacky/sticky. With other creams I can usually feel some slickness. However, I still got a great shave this morning.
