Pre: Sainsburys Tea Tree Glycerine Soap
Soap: La Saponeria Artigiana Coconut
Razor: Schick Adjustable
Blade: NOS Dutch Schick
Post: Generic Witch Hazel & Gillette Series Moisturiser

I'm enjoying using the passaround Schick Adjustable. After it's fourth use on Saturday the Personna blade felt a little tuggy, so I switched over to one of the NOS Dutch Schick blades which were kindly supplied in the box. After watching an online tutorial, my first loading of an injector blade was a synch. As for the blade itself, it was absolutely sublime. Two days of growth removed quickly and efficiently giving a faultless two pass DFS. Now I see what all the fuss is about!

If you don't mind, can you tell me what you think of the DR Harris sandalwood.
I'm thinking of buying a bottle. Cheers Pat

This morning's shave: tried out Fine Green Vetiver AS...

Pre: Glyce soap wash + Proraso Green pre-shave
Shave: Bloom's Le Baigneur À Barbe N01 shaving soap (Aloe vera, Hemp and Vetiver), Cadman custom brush, EJ89/Braveheart hybrid + Nacet
Post: Wright's coal tar soap wash, cold rinse, witch hazel splash, Fine 'Green Vetiver' AS, GFT West Indian Limes Skin Food

Really nice, comfortable shave and the Green Vetiver splash has a really nice 'grassy' sort of scent to it...very 'green' indeed!

Enjoy your week all

Excellent photo, with a interesting brush. Would you like some snow?

Georgetown Pottery G12 scuttle
Rooney 3/2 Faux Horn Finest (24mm/54mm)
Brooks Brothers shaving soap (tallow)
Delta Echo Feather AS-D2/Triad Brass Helix Round Bar
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (2)
Pierre Cardin aftershave (vintage) + Jovan Musk aftershave

The old BB soap is wonderful, the equal of vintage Penhaligon's or Floris, and at less than $32 for 6.8 ounces (which I cut into two pucks), it's a bargain. I highly recommend watching for it on eBay. The Round Bar handle, while not having the beautiful appearance of some of Toby's work, feels great in my hand. And the combination of aftershaves works well, with the musk of the Jovan, applied first as a base, offset nicely by the sweet finish of the Cardin.

Great setup and picture.

Maca Root shaving cream (sample)
EJ 25mm Synthetic
ATT SE1 / Feather Pro
Organic Aloe Vera Gel

Used up the last of my Body Shop Maca Root sample. Not a bad cream, but then again not much glide or cushion either. OK for the price I suppose (and generally available).

Great brush and blade.
