Prep....Shower ~ Birch tar soap
Razor....Rolls razor ~ Stainless steel set 1936
Blade....Rolls Hollow ground Sheffield Steel. Honed perfectly by @Fergiebilly , thank you very much.
Soap....Votos Red tallow
Brush....Semouge 2000
Post....BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent....Agua Lavanda Puig

A fantastic shave from the Rolls razor and freshly honed blade by Billy, he knows his stuff, ten blunt blades went off and Ten surgicaly sharp blades came back. A Honemeister he most certainly is :)
The Vitos Red was gifted to me by @culcreuch, half a block! Very generous indeed along with the Birch tar soap I used in the shower, thank you my friend.
Back to the Vitos, a great soap that lathered like a rabid dog! It's post shave feel is great too.
The razor made short work of my stubble, I could hear the hairs pinging off as the blade glided across the lather, two passes and I was as smooth as I require, and my requierments are high!
Finnishing with my now regular BBA PSB followed by a splash here and there of the wonderful Agua Lavanda. Perfect.
I really enjoyed today's shave, it had a lot to do with the kit I was using.

Wishing you a fab Friday and a wonderful weekend......:)

A nice sunny shave, nice sunny day too. Just got back from a walk up Pen y Fan, nice day for it. Great shave to put some sunshine pep in one's step! Shame the soap is discontinued, one of the best core scents from P&B, why didn't you guys buy more of it!?!?! :p​

Chuck up a WTB on the UKWSS BST (Facebook) - one of the sellers I've dealt with recently had one up for sale for about a tenner posted, if I remember rightly. Message me and I can pass on his name. :)

Sorry but no time for a pic today as I am off to watch Wales be humiliated in football without our very own Gareth Bale. :)

The shave as expected was sublime. 3 Pass BBs was achieved by the awesome 1912.

Alum Wash
Alcolado Glacial A/S
Nivea Cooling Balm

First DE shave for ages.
I've always had a good shave with the Qshave, and this one with the included blades was no exception. Setting 4 suits me just fine and aided by the OSP produced a really smooth 3 pass, with a lovely menthol cooling.

Brush: EJ Medium PB
Soap: Wickham's Irish Ferb

A day of mourning, my last shave with the Cobra and a great farewell it was too. The scent of the Irish Fern gets better with age (though still reminds me of Johnson's baby powder), performance as always, very good. The Cobra needs no more praise than...

Thanks, me too.
