Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney Stubby 3XXL Ivory Finest (33/52)
Houbigant Fougère Royale shaving soap (vintage)
Charcoal Goods Level 2 Stainless Steel/Beehive
Wizamet Super Iridium (11)
Houbigant Fougère Royale aftershave (vintage)

With first use of the CG razor, I got an easy BBS shave. It is indeed medium aggressive, giving me a couple small nicks. Its smoothness is about equal to that of the Raw RS-10, a little less smooth than my stainless Timeless or Wolfman razors. It gave me more auditory feedback than the others. The razor is quite heavy, and at the end of the shave the head stuck together pretty tenaciously when I tried to take it apart to clean the blade. For me, 3-4 stars out of 5.

Oooooooo do I like that brush :sick:

Have you tried the long handle with your Hone?

Ooops. You can't because I have it. Short or long it is one great piece of kit

Yes the brush is wonderful and I agree the Hone is indeed one great piece of kit even with my short handle :) P. There are a few of the copper handled brushes for sale if you are interested. P.

Signature Soaps CoIra
RazoRock 400 Plissoft Noir
Karve SB C Plate
Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Quorum Aftershave

First use of Signature soap, kindly sent free of charge by @BrianH
Everything about the soap was spot on - easy to lather, glide and slickness were very good, as was post shave feel.
Good ingredients, and quality essential oils used for fragrance.
I'll use it for my next few shaves with different razors/blades to see how it fares.
Very impressed so far

Soap: P&B Spitfire
Brush: Razorock 400 synth
Razor: OneBlade Core/Feather FHS-10 (2)
A/S: Nivea 2 Phase
Balm: Bart's Cinnamon & Patchouli

2nd outing for the OneBlade, and I think the Feather is on it's way out, had to do a bit of buffing to remove the last traces of stubble. But still a DFS and yet again no sting from the A/S. I'm still not sure that this razor is a keeper, but I can't criticise it's performance in any objective way, subjectively though, I like a more aggressive razor.

Bye bye to the P&B Spitfire, I have really enjoyed using this great soap and will probably buy it again, but not till I've tried some other soaps I fancy.

More Bart's balm, Cinnamon and Patchouli this morning, another great scent!

Enjoy the new working week Gentlemen.
