Grooming Dept Conca d'Oro - Kairos Tallow Shaving Soap, awful toxic waste smell, but great soap that they no longer make.
Vintage Rexall brush that had the original knot, but it died in use, new knot going in.

Really enjoyable shave with some simple products featuring @BartsBalm sample C ! I kept the cream neutral as not to interfere with the scent..feeling super smooth and very well nourished

Le Pere Lucien Cèdre et Patchouli
Yaqi Red Marble Tuxedo 24mm
Face lather
Gillette RFB Tech No.88 (England, 1934)

Great stuff. The 1934 Tech is, imo, the pinnacle of the Gillette OCs. 2 excellent passes.

Prep: Shower with PAA cube unscented
Pre: PAA cube
Soap: Liz Earle sensitive shave cream
Brush: Yaqi lucky dice
Razor: Homelike Start
Blade: Persona Viking Sword
Post: Alum and Bart’s aftershave balm.
A fab shave in preparation to compare with my newly acquired Masamune tomorrow. Wonderful smooth shave, the Liz Earle is a lovely gentle creamy and foaming lather my wife got me years ago that works just as well with a wet shave than it did with cartridges, better even. The Bart’s balms have so far all been amazing!

Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
Hampshire Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Haryali DeLuxe (Blue) w/Synthetic 22mm
Gillette New RFB
Gillette Platinum (2) Blue
Brut Passion Aftershave
Another classy shave, that ...
Especially so, sandwiched between Hampshire Wool Fat soap and a good splash of Brut's second best flanker (Musk being their best flanker).
Classy!

Razor - Timeless 0.68 SB SS Scalloped

Timeless, Silver Blue & Maca Root cream = a very comfortable shave
I've yet to try the new Maca Root formula, and I doubt it could perform better?
