Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Paladin Lotus Select Badger;
Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch (Tallow)
Razor: Long Handle Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Swede (2)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Myrsol Blue Aftershave Splash
Scent: Lapidus Pour Homme

A light touch with the Blackbird loaded with a very sharp Gillette Swede blade gives me a terrific and super-efficient shave.
Gorgeous lather from the ever reliable but sadly departed Haslinger Schafmilch tallow soap.
But the World is not perfect; foolishly going for a couple of extra buffs on my chin when I was already supersmooth resulted in an annoying nick.
The Thayers and Myrsol took care of things without having to resort to alum. Finished with that wonderful '80s powerhouse, Lapidus Pour Homme.

Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Clubman Whisky Wood
1st time using a homemade pre-shave oil. Lathering in the bowl produces a luxurious thick lather. Nice lavender scent. Shave with razor and blade pairing was excellent. Sharpish and smooth. Perhaps due to pre-shave...extra smooth. As result able to be more diagonal xtg on the neck.
3+1pass WTG, XTG & XTG/ATG + atg. No weepers nor irritation today. Ice water rinse followed by special Thayers.
BBS result and rating of 9.8/10
