Good evening all.

This evenings effort consisted of this little arrangement.

Pre. Myrsol Emulsion
Soap. TGS Lemon & Mint
Razor. Rockwell 6S (R3)
Blade. Astra SP (4)
Brush. ExS Medium Jock
Post. EJ Limes and Pomegranate
Splash. TGS Lemon & Mint.

First time with a TGS soap, first application looked good on the brush but was too dry on the face. Added probably 5 drops of water to the bowl and a much better lather was achieved.
A quick rub of Alum block post shave with very little stinging so I'm quite pleased.
The scent of both soap and splash is quite subtle but I'm happy with the performance of everything this evening.

Have a great weekend everyone, stay safe.

A slightly different photo today. I was setting up for my SOTD photo when my youngest daughter decided she wanted to be part of it. A dad can never say no to his daughter so you can see the result above.

Another nice shave with the SE1 and a DFS+ finish from 2.5 passes. The AP brush only shed a single hair today so I think it will be ok.
My favourite sotd picture this week - and that was against some fairly stiff competition - bright and cheerful - made me laugh. Cheers - I.
 
15 May 2020 – mid pm.

2 days' growth – Braveheart on MÜHLE handle. My son called me from the US just after I had started so was in two minds whether to stop or carry on. Decided to carry on so we had a chat for nearly an hour whilst I completed my shave. Even with this distraction I managed a first class result, no nicks or irritation. Proraso cream provided the lather.

Prep: Aldi Bath Soap & Nuage Shave Oil
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow 26mm
Razor: Braveheart head on MÜHLE handle
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum (4)
Soap: Proraso Cream Blue Aloe
After: Cold Water splash - Ajanta Alum – Nivea Aftershave locion
