Face - Blackland Era (SB4), Gillette Platinum, B&M Hallows (soap & splash)
Head - Leaf razor, Treet Platinum saloon blades, Arko soap whipped up in Yaqi collapsible silicone bowl
SmilezforMilez tuxedo brush
Nivea Pro Sensitive Ultra Calming Balm

Arriving today just in time for tonight's shave, there was never a choice in whether or not to take this set for a spin. Smells fantastic . Also wanted to try whipping up a lather in the Yaqi bowl so tub loaded some Arko for the dome, sure it doesn't have the size of a Captain's Choice bowl but it's a different use case and gave me great results - great bowl that I'm glad I picked up.

SOTD 29-Sep

Brush: C&H 'Finned' V14
Soap: A&E Tobacco Road
Razor: CG Level 3
Blade: Wizamet (3)
Post: A&E Tobacco Road AS & EDP

Great shave this morning, this is among my top sets, I definitely need to get some more in in the next month or so, and multiples. Before I go nuts though I need to sort out some proper storage drawers in some form. The boxes are no longer going to cut it!

It's been a couple of months since I've used this razor and I forget the respect (or leaning more towards caution) it needs. It is really blade forward and you need to make sure nothing gets in the way otherwise it will take it with it, but it does the job well.

Smooth and smelling good, hope everyone had a good kick off to the weekend.

Cheers

Marc

Used the Aleppo as a pre wash, and it really does a good job of nourishing the Skin. A super Shave and actually used the Aleppo post shave, and my skin has not felt this good in quite a while.

Fri 29.
Pre: Droyt's Glycerine soap and hot water.
Soap and splash: Wickham Gothic Revival set.
Brush: Semogue 830 boar
Razor: Razorock Hawk V3A
Blade: Kai Pink (#4)

Forgot how soft this soap is compared to T&H so my scrubby 830 got a good loading which translated to an excellent slippery shave with my favourite scent. Really close result.
Happy days!

Barrister’s Reserve Fern
Cadman M55
Blackland Blackbird
Treet Platinum
Signature Soaps Hibernia spash


​

The Cadman M55 Tuxedo is the only custom made brush I own, but what a brush! With a 30mm knot this brush is big and beautiful and it created a wonderful, easy lather with the B&M soap this morning. The Blackbird was like a hot knife through butter, it is such a smooth razor with the Treet blade. Then a splash of Hibernia, an amazing aftershave that just goes well with anything and one I will be replacing soon. Top shave.
