A Refreshing close shave for the dull weekend. First use of the soap, the scent of the soap smells so clean, really fresh, just like you've taken out washed bedsheets from the machine to Line dry.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

Very bracing walk with the dog this morning, warmed up with a shower and fired up @Roscotanna 's scuttle, some BBA Shave Oil on the beard. Soap?......

Simpson's Chubby 2
Fatboy/Lodz Polsilver

Sporting casual wear for a relaxing brunch and the start of the Six Nations:)

Ain't it great to be alive!.....
 


Pre: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Castle Forbes pre-shave gel
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Soap: Stirling Lemon Chill (Glacial)
Razor: Ever Ready 1912
Blade: Ted Pella Gem SS (3)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion
Balm: Proraso White Sensitive

Hands down the best shave yet with the 1912. Two sublime passes for a DFS+.
A hot night here in Perth, so a mentholated soap was called for. Stirling Lemon Chill is always a good'un. Nice cooling effect, great performance, and a scent that is a dead ringer for Butter Menthol throat lozenges, which for me is pleasant and comforting.

Yaqi 24mm 2 band
Wickham 1912 Club Cola
Rockwell 6C plate 4
Supermax Blue Diamond Titanium (3)
Lime witch hazel
Proraso Green ASL
Calvin Klein Eternity Summer EdT

The brush arrived yesterday, long before the estimated delivery date.
After a good rinse in warm water it didn't smell too funky.
It lathered up the Club Cola a treat. It's got good backbone and the tips are quite soft.
Third outing for the Supermax blade and I picked up some small weepers. I think for me these are a two use blade. It seemed to have lost it's smoothness
Although the Rockwell on plate 4 gives a good shave, I think plate 3 suits me better so I'll be switching plates for its next use
I'm defying the weather with Eternity Summer EdT today !

Nice choice on the tune, @Paul L. As Ricky Gervais said when playing it on XFM - "Two guitar solos, three choruses, and a key change! It don't get much better than that."
 
Sat 3rd February
RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
Cyril Salters Solid soap
Supply SE V1 + V2 No3 plate
Schick Proline [ 4 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

This is my Fourth consecutive Shave with my Supply , fitted with a V2 No 3 Plate. All Shaves have been very good, the Combo is smooth with great blade feel through the Shave,which allows you to chart the progress of the Shave. Not only is the finish very good but I have suffered no mishaps or post Shave Problems.

I now without any misgivings would recommend this Razor to those who wish to sample a modern SE/Injector Razor, it is a lot smaller than the AC/SE that take larger AC blades.

This turned out to be my best shave yet. First time using both the TOBS and the Gillette 7 o'clock blade. Closest most comfortable shave yet!

TOBS Sandalwood was the first cream I ever used (which reminds me, I have a tub of their Cedarwood. I must use that next time I'm in the mood for a cream).
