Brush: PAA Switchback Oumo Silk HMW
Soap: LEA Classic Cream
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: GEM PTFE (8)
Post: LEA Aftershave

It's been a long time since I've used anything softer than a hard soap or croap, so there was a slight mishap on loading. Went on complete autopilot meaning that I probably had enough on there for an all over body shave twice over (not my bag just too be clear). Despite that, with a gentle touch, managed to get a bloomin good lather. The added menthol to the cream was a nice surprise, I'd forgotten it was in there.

The paired Aftershave was also a nice surprise. As with the MWF and Barts the other day I forget that you don't need to spend a fortune to get an excellent shave (I'm skipping over the sabre at this point obviously).

Smooth and refreshed ready for the day ahead.

Hope everyone has a great kick off to the week!

Cheers

Marc

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: Tabac
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo
Razor: Souplex head on pal handle, finished up with Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Supermax Blue Diamond Titanium (1)
Post: Tabac ASL, RSC Balm,

A really strange shave today - or non-shave to be more precise! I received this razor from @Scorpio93 recently, and to be be honest I was concerned about the difference in aggressiveness between the two sides, along with excited to try another British razor. Well the milder side had literally no pickup with a Supermax, and the more exposed side cut - just - but left so much in its wake.
I pulled the Merkur back out to tidy up, and I will put a more aggressive blade through the Souplex to see if there's a salvageable shave with a Feather or similar, or if anyone has advice how to make it sing I'm all ears. Tabac, of course, was lovely.
 
Thanks so much. I've been limiting my activity lately. I recently lost both my brother and my 10-year-old terrier mix.

My most sincere condolences and thoughts to you.

We had a family loss recently and understand how you must be feeling

Take care and be as well as you can

@Paul L is so right (and many others). The Hawk is a true God of a razor. Another sublime finish from this baby and a wonderfully smooth shave amazingly from a blade on its last legs.

Thank you my friend Mr Schick. You are now confined to the bin but a damn good show, damn good show.

So a nice start to the week and a week of a medical refresher course. Four days of bandages, stitching and learning how to use corners of toilet paper sheets to their best effect. All useful for shaving.

Have a wonderful week ahead you lovely people



You light my fire. And so do these ladies from Otoboke. It can only be one band......
