First shave with Bart’s Balm Preshave and it was a success. This must be one of the thicker samples, but the mint smelt divine. I was worried as I applied it that it was too thick but this proved an advantage with it lasting until pass 2. It felt lovely and refreshing much lighter than over strong mentholated preshaves but delightfully invigorating. Everything else went smoothly as is always the case with the Masamune and and Signature.
Enjoy your day guys.

A lovely relaxing fresh shave tonight.
Not much to say really as most shaves seem to be top drawer.
First use on the Voskhod for many a month & still a blade i always look forward to using.
The Scent on the soap is very well balanced with the wood/lavender predominantly coming through.
Always a 3 pass shave for me even when i don’t need it.
I’m heading back to Norway on Monday so now the ordeal starts on what i’m going to take.
you think i would know by now but i know it will be a struggle i want to take everything lol.
Never Mind
Onwards & Upwards
Stay Safe keep away from the Monkey’s

@Satanfriendly - fair enough what you say, might be a difference in batches? Mine comes evenly out of the tin onto the brush. See above.

Cheers all - I.
Every small-batch, by definition, will be different. Recipe is always the same but processing time will vary as will ambient conditions. The performance difference will, however, be very marginally different. At the end of the day I feel it’s down to our lathering techniques and amount of water added throughout building up a preferred lather consistency.

Razor Fatip OC Slant
Blade Persona X Series 19th Use
Aftershave Yaqi The Green Splash
Another wonderful soap! Pleasant light scent with a rich creamy and slick lather!
Another satisfying shave with the razor and blade pairing. The blade is still very smooth and comfortable in 3passes without any issues for a dfs+ finish. The matching aftershave is good...

Brush: Chubby SiLVERTiP
Soap: MM Granuaile
Razor: CG Level 3
Blade: Feather HS (2)
Post: MM Granuaile AS & Soild Cologne

Decent shave this morning, new MM set arrived. Scent seemed to be very similar to NO Plunder initially but a lot lighter. Decent performance in their aeon base, actually preferred this to the kodiak. The judgement is still out on the solid cologne, I've tried a couple before, my favourite being P&B Spitfire, this one didn't seem all that strong but it may be my nose is swayed after the soap, we'll see.

Either which way, good shave, smooth finish and ready for the day to roll on and the weekend to kick off.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Fuss free, frugal shaves of late.
6C on plate 3 & Silver Blue blade is a dependable and comfortable pairing.

Sadly, recently I seem to be losing my mojo for shaving.
Some shaves have been 4-5 day's apart, with no desire to shave, even then.

The weekend is almost here - enjoy.
