Brush • Simpson Trafalgar T3
Razor • Timeless Bronze 0.38 SB
Blade • Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Post • Brut Sport Style Aftershave

What a horrible, wet Wednesday that was - every time I got out of the van to do some outside work, it rained just a bit harder!!
By the time I arrived home, the sun was shining, and all that remained of the days weather were a few puddles.

I'm pleased to report my shave was as restorative as I had hoped it would be.
Lather was spot on, the blade was smooth.
Finished with the excellent Brut Sport Style Aftershave, which is hydrating and has a fresh aquatic scent.

That's work done until a week on Monday . . .
We're heading for the edge of The Lake District/Morecombe Bay on Saturday for a week away in the motorhome . . .I can hardly wait!

Brush: Chubby 2 SiLVERTiP
Soap: NO Monoi De Tahiti
Razor: Blackland Tradere OC
Blade: 7 O'Clock SP (1)
Post: NO Monoi De Tahiti

Ooh I really do like this razor, wonderfully smooth and heavy. It's remarkably manoeuvrable for a razor of this size and weight but I won't complain. Lightest of touches is all it needs, two passes for a great finish.

Just about awake but at least smooth for the day ahead. Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc
 
Thursday:
The fine splash arrived yesterday so that I have the matching pair, so it has to be current setup with new gear included.

I really like (and so does Mrs D) the scent, now that it has calmed down a bit isn't overpowering, but still there a couple of hours later.

Got a good shave with the gold Tech loaded with a personna.

Tomorrow, I need to use the Razorock combo of similar name to compare! Any Floid blue users tried these to see how close they actually are, having never used it myself?

As close and comfortable shave as i have had lately from todays chosen "Vintage lady", Mild and efficient. Simply Wonderful.
The 7 O'Clock Vintage SE giving a wonderful sound track, i required 3 full passes for a very smooth, comfortable finish.

Superb from start to finish, the Hone 15 never fails to deliver, and the A&E is on my list on soaps I will always need a tub of in the den. BBS in 3 effortlessly, what’s not to like. Possibly my favourite razor, brush, soap and blade combination.
