A very nice 2 pass shave for a DFS+ finish.
I know the original owner of this DS Cosmetics brush did not like it but for me it works a treat and will always be in the rotation, thank you Chris @Boycie83.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Another very good shave today. Excellent lather with the little Simfix and TFS soap. Two passes with the R41 and a smooth face was the result. The GSB blade seems to work with every razor I own. I'm in a happy place today, and the sun is shining.

A very relaxing shave.
I'm now closing in on the last couple of things I want to add to the den for the foreseeable future and, as part of my strategy to cut back on my expenditure, I'm going to be posting in the SOTD thread a little less often…it's just too much to see all these fine shaving accoutrements when one has a tendency towards addiction.:eek:

Stay safe and enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend all;):)(y)

The Stirling Pumpkin Spice really takes me back to my childhood when my grandmother always make pumpkin pie every winter season, the only issue keeps clicking my brain, I don't remember IF I ever had Pumpkin Spice pie :unsure:

You guys really need to get yourself a sample of the Stirling Pumpkin Spice, because, I really enjoy it very much.

Wolfman WR2 (on loan)
Gillette Platinum
AP Shave Co SynBad
Moon Soaps Sorrento
Fine Accoutrements Italian Citrus aftershave

First time using Moon soaps.
Scent: Positives, no tallow smell. Negatives, next to no scent at all, to my nose anyway.
@Martini

Soap base: Excellent! Very easy to create a lather with a lovely gloss and very slick with good protection.

With the slickness and protection a great shave was had with the Wolfman on loan from @halvor .

Cheers

A quick kitchen sink shave (watching the Giro on tv)

PS-Soap Generic
Soap-ES Natural cream*
Brush- Big Jock
Blade-Rockwell*
Razor-Rockwell 6s
AS-Lea

Despite impersonating a spin drier didnt get a good lather and I'm wondering if its my slightly hard water? One of my neighbours farms has a spring which has (according to ancient locals) miraculous properties water into wine, liquid viagra, total immersion gives everlasting life etc. Apart from the latter extras its supposed to be amazingly soft water so might shave using it and put my theory to the test.

*I got hold of a 6S and using the 4 plate got a pleasant result. I'm usually wary of supplied blades after unfortunate results with Merkur but no complaints with these.
 
Thur 22nd October

Muhle Silvertip 21mm
Monsavon au Lait
ATT SE-1
Schick Proline [ 8 ]
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

Used the little Muhle again, it really can work out a quick copious lather out of these little pucks.Find it very hard not to get a good Shave with The ATT SE-1 , with a lather like today it was a doddle and quick too.
