Have a great day
 
28/05/21
Pre: Shower
Brush: Zenith 506 Copper 28mm
Soap: OSP Spirits
Razor: ATT Windsor CR1
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (3)
Post shave: Cold water rinse, TC's Infused Witch Hazel
Balm: TC's Vetiver & Clary Sage infused Argan Oil Balm
Aftershave: Brut Original splash

OK, it looks as though the Wilky sword blade is not my thing, i am undeniably BBS, however, there seemed to be a bit irritation during the shave, i definitely could not use it again, for me it is very Polsilver-esque but not as sharp, the rest of them have gone in the PIF bag. I think i got the same feeling with them years ago when the Old Man was showing me how to go on, he loved them, i think i was more a Gillette boy?
The rest of the gear worked wonderfully and i ended up using the Brut splash to finish off, it seemed to go quite well with the Spirits scent (which i cannot quite put my finger on yet? sweet and earthy)
Second Jab tomorrow then a weeks holiday. Whoo Hoo.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Happy Birthday @alfie5542 and congratulations to you both. Enjoy the holiday weekend.

Great shave, as per with the Outlaw. Finished off another SV soap too. Luckily I have a backup of this one.

31 years ago today The Stone Roses played Spike Island and I was there!
Bloody hell I feel old! Well... sadly I am old. Fantastic gig, one of the best days of my life. It was all down hill from there...for me and the Roses! :D

I always thought "Spike Island" sounded a lot more exotic location than the reality ;)

Congrats and Happy Birthday!
 
Razor- Gillette Slim (4)
Blade- Permasharp Stainless
Brush- Yaqi 24mm
Soap- Mogno + Stirling Frost Drops
Post- Speick ASL, Lea Balm

Had a lovely shave with this setup this morning. Never tried the Permasharp blades before but I knew they have a reputation for being a really sharp blade. I found it to be a smooth shaver all the same, but that could be down to the slim and the menthol! :)

Congratulations and many happy returns @alfie5542 - it's my wedding anniversary too . Always good when dates are easy to remember isn't it? My wife's birthday is Valentine's Day, and fittingly we first got together on April Fools' Day :p
 
First attempt at this...

Pre: hot shower
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Wilkinson sword (2 - one of my favourite blades)
Brush: Razorock plissoft
Soap: Faena greek skinos (mastic tree, scent of each Greek kid’s childhood, thankfully we make a mean liqueur out of it too)
Post: alum block
ASL: Faena greek skinos

Amazing BBS shave and scent which transports me to another time!
