Wow...truly glacial!!! Really cold creamy and slick lather Not sure about the peach scent though...
Missed my GEM razors so today's shave with the razor paired with the blade was awesome! It was crisp, smooth, and very comfortable in 3passes for a dfs finish. Aftershaves ensured a super cool face for an oven-hot day!

Soap, brush and razor are all first time uses for me. Always a risk if things don't work out. This was a fantastic shave. @phoenixandbeau have done a great job with this soap - well done Kerry. This may become a favourite. I'm tempted to order the splash and balm to go with it. It's my birthday today - perhaps I should treat myself!

I'll comment further on the Windsor Pro after a few more uses but first impressions are favourable. Very favorable.
Happy Birthday wishes...!!!

SOTD 26-July Take 2

Prep: Warm shower
Brush: C&H Fanchurian
Soap: D&G B Cubed
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Post: Cold Water and D&G B Cubed Splash

Good shave this morning thankfully posting in the entirely wrong thread initially hadn't marred it, couple of days growth scythed in short order. Love the performance of the D&G set after a couple of uses, still not convinced on the scent though. It's nice enough but I'm not sure it's a 'flavour' that I'm going to get on with.

Edit: Hope everyone has a better kick off to the week than I am seemingly going to have!

Cheers

Marc

After two days exfoliating with the Merkur Futur I needed to give my face a chance to recover! A smooth, gentle and efficient shave and I forgot how much I love this soap scent. I am spending a little longer on my lathering and not rushing this stage and it’s baring great results! BBS. This razor is just perfect in my hands!
