Birthday #48 shave
Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap (gift from mother-in-law)
Yaqui sagrada
ATT S1/Astra blue
Alum
Old spice

Very pleased with the Mitchell's soap (face lathering)... it's like spreading butter... No real need for me to look any further soap-wise (but of course I will).
And the Old Spice AS gives to my skin the vintage smell that, given its age, it's bound to have!
Cheers to all

Shave #11 on this cartridge, still going strong. Am I missing it? Had a few withdrawal pangs on days 4 and 5 but nothing since... I stopped browsing the forums and now have loads of spare time :LOL:

Hey, you are top of my SOTD list with your choice of music. Baby Metal? An absolute phenomenon.

They could only ever be Japanese
 
Fri 1st SOTD
Soap Tabac
Brush Yaqi 26mm Moka Express 2 Band Badger
Razor Gillette New SC
Blade Gillette London Bridge 1st
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Clubman Whiskey Woods
Missed using this excellent quality soap for a long time. Wow...truly epic lather! Rich, creamy, and very slick. Mild unique scent.
This razor and blade combination was excellent!! Smooth, comfortable, and efficient. 3passes for a mostly bbs finish but somehow incurred 2 weepers. Aftershaves were just as good too.

How's the 'great reset' treating you?

I've undertaken one myself, put away my shaving gear and about 10 days into growing a beard. My face is itchy, oh so itchy.

Not really sure what the point of my post is, but it's much the way of most of my posts.

Good to hear the reset is treating you well. I'm not really thinking about shaving much, but I still checking this site but less than before. I'm trying to avoid indulging in my other hobbies as well! I found myself browsing hifi amps at Richer Sounds, then decided it would be a good thing to close the browser....

@donnie_arko , must be that time of year. My week of decorating and wearing the same scruffy clothes has coincided with a decision to undertake a no-shave week (the longest time period since I joined this forum!) It tends to take a bit longer for me to stop looking unkempt and start suiting any growth, but I'll be back on the tools by the end of the week. As for your hobbies post, I'm blessed in that my only other large-ish expense was/is fireworks. This year's spend will be considerably lower as the bulk of last year's purchase went unfired due to the restrictions in place last November. It does however allow justification of shaving gear purchases, when I realise that I effectively burn money for fleeting gratification with the pyro. At least my shaving impulse buys are sitting in a cupboard to reappear at a future date rather than literally going up in smoke!
