After four days of Leiden and forcibly having to shave with a Gillette cartridge razor (actually very good) I return with a shave which doesn't say, 'Please see my previous'. Nope, this one arrives with a bit of spiel and the theme, 'The best a man can get?'
Best a man can't get - Stainless Mongoose
The Carlesberg blade - Feather Super Professional (Probably)
Best team brush - Highlander LFC - Hell hath no fury than a brush scorned @LeeMaz
Best wooden bowl - Bath House Cuban Cedar and Lime
Best facial creaming - Collegen and Chasey Lain
'And you Mr Satanfriendly are the fucking worse any woman could ever get'
After a couple of days of 'Couldn't be arsed' a most welcome home shave from 'probably the best a man can get' and the Mongoose. Absolute heaven (somewhere south of my own abode) and that wonder touch. I am not going to even bother about trying to describe how close, it just was. As good as it gets? Probably.
And a great show from the only duo coloured brush which matters (I am sure a blue and white version wouldn't even get close) and the wonderful Cuban in a nice bowl. Superb.
A refreshing change and time to change my underwear after five days. My socks self disintegrated a few days back. But shit, was Leiden one lovely place to spend time. Comes highly recommended from this end. If anyone visits and comes across the remains of a pair of distasteful 'Holy' socks please drop me a line.
Some Japanese ladies? Very obliging to present you with someone new to me. And will probably be the last time I use them...Neat001? Ah well......

I generally only enjoy my synthetics when the weather is particularly hot.
I think it’s the combination of lack of heat retention, and the fact that they make lather ridiculously easily, favourable in this heat.
Nicely refreshed by the subtle cooling of peppermint.
Enjoy yours gents.
Belated birthday greetings to @Tony'schin.

Don’t worry there’s no Everton affiliation here. It’s the Italian national team colours! I think mine came from @gile just before yours! It’s great!

SOTD 06-Sep
Brush: Alpha UKWSS
Soap: SBS Woodshop
Razor: Reggies Titan
Blade: Wizamet (2)
Post: SBS Woodshop AS
Decent once again, nice smooth finish with only slight feedback on the AS and no sneaky nicks this morning. Initial impressions are good, but there's something just not grabbing me. I think I know what it is but I'll have another few go arounds first.
Woodshop is decent, the soap didn't have the scent strength on lathering that I expected but the splash more than made up for it. I got the hit of coffee and slightly lesser bourbon followed by wood, very nice. Luckily it's not that sweet coffee that I've heard others tend to lean towards.
Have a good one all.
Cheers
Marc
@Tony'schin happy belated birthday, hope you enjoyed afternoon tea with the family!

Provided it doesn't say 'EFC' on the base then you are forgiven.
