A lovely comfortable two and half pass shave today. It felt like I could've stopped after the first pass. Where would the fun be in that.

Pre: Whickams pre shave soap face wash
Brush: Simpson Commodore X1
Soap: OSP Spice Road
Razor: 5/8 Thiers Issard Evide Sonnant - Red Stamina
Blade: @Fergiebilly
Post shave: Alum, Cold water splash, TC's Bay Rum Splash
Balm: Barts Balm Rosemary and Sandalwood Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: OSP Spice Road
Its been a while since i used any of my OSP soaps, so this week they will be getting a run out.
I had a very nice face lather with the little X1 and the scent of the Spice Road is right up my street. The brush easily held enough goodness for the shave.
I completed my 2 pass routine without any issues.
The post shave started with an Alum rub which gave a very positive result, nothing to report.
The Barts post shave routine was very nice finishing with the wonderful OSP splash.
Feeling and smelling really good.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Is this OSPs take on Old Spice Tony? I think that's the plan for @James Riley December release.

I think so, personally it's much better than Old spice, stronger and much more complex, it's the older version of james soap. I can recommend it although YMMV as in all these things shaving related.

Soap Colonel Conk Amber
Bowl Turkish Copper
Brush Yaqi 26mm Moka Express
Razor Gillette New SC
Blade BiC Chrome Platinum 1st

This is one of my slickest soap.....good lather quality too...scent a little too mild.
Shave with razor paired with blade was very smooth. Felt very comfortable...I thought there was no blade. 3+1 passes resukt in between bbs to dfs.
Very good post & aftershave.

Cracked the top of a 400ml bottle of Proraso Green...had to sieve it to make sure there was no glass in it and then repurposed and old Floid bottle for the remaining splash. I had less than half of the Proraso left so it worked out just about right! So, this afternoon's shave:
Software: Glyce Lime pre-wash | TOBS Peppermint shaving cream | Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol AS
Hardware: Green Omega S-Brush | Ceramic scuttle | EJDE89 Gold Barley | Gillette Nacet blade
Enjoy the rest of the weekend all

Saturday's Shave
Continuing my trials of the PAA Soaps, I have to say the performance from all has been excellent and I find so far they are very consistent and happily not a twinge from my skin.
Love the scent of this one Harvest Moon I get some Tobacco and Oud in there.

3. Solstice

Razor - Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade - Astra SP (4)
Brush - Zenith Euro X
Soap - Palmolive Menthol Cream
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Balm
AS - Barbon
I did a little too much drinking last night and needed a hit of menthol to try to wake up a little. It didn't work, but the menthol felt good on the skin though.
Good shave with the FHT and Astra, the FHT is definitely a touch less efficient than the New OC I used yesterday.
Have a good day gents.

Soap: Barrister and Mann Terror
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Sticky
Blade: Vintage NOS Wilkinson Sword Light Brigade (3)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Stetson Aftershave Splash

It is nice to use a blade within the razor that it was designed for. A supremely comfortable yet close three pass shave.
I really like the scent of the Terror soap; well imagined by Will at B&M.

It's an excellent cream.Not sure if it's worth its full price but in the sale it was a good buy
