It's definitely different to my YaqI and RazoRock synthetics in the backbone department. Bowl latherIng was a breeze-next time I'll use it with a hard soap for face latherIng.

Cold Water Shave
Heno de Pravia Glycerine Soap
Williams Mug Shavig Soap
Omega 20102 Boar Brush
Schick E2 (Canadian) with a 'Schick (Chinese) Blade
Witch Hazel
Palmer's for Men Moisturiser
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
First use of an injector for a very long time and my first ever use of the Chinese made Schick Blade.. It is a pity they are so expensive to obtain in the UK.
That was an absolute 'cracker' of a shave. 3 smooth passes for a perfect finish

Thanks for the tag Paul. I'm pleased you're liking the brush. May it give many shaves. I love the aesthetics of the handle. That's why I'm keeping my olive wood version.Tuesday SOTD

A really close shave this morning. A superb lather from the MdC and Chubby preceded one close pass with the Feather AC. Then a second “touch up†pass with the Ikon OSS, removing virtually nothing, and I'm even smoother than yesterday's shave with the R41.Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian

Williams Mug Soap
ER 1914
Gem S/S [ 3 ]
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion
Another ER Shave today using the diminutive 1914, despite the short handle I quickly adapt to it and find it to be highly manoeuvrable.It is not as aggressive as the 1924, but it still provides one with not only a smooth Shave , but delivers a nice close all round finish too. This in many ways could be considered the next step up from a 1912.

Faultless shave with a great performing soap that smells lovely, should get the matching cologne for that summer vibe. [emoji106][emoji3508]

Asylum Shave Works 'Flying Mango' (SV Beta 4.3)
Brut Attraction Totale
Good job from the South Korean cartridge razor. This soap is truly fantastic as the brush and loading method prove great companions to it.
A first for the after shave, matches the soap scent pretty ok but it does contain a little bit more alcohol compared to what I would have ideally preferred. We'll have to see if I keep this as or not.

Pre shave Prep: Pears Transparent Lemon flower
Brush: Vintage Butterscotch Culmak 1950
Soap: Faena "Dorica"
Blade: Kai Stainless Steel (6)
Razor: Merkur 39C slant "Sledgehammer"
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Barts Lime Oil AS Balm
Aftershave: Barts Lime Oil AS
Waiting for the Sabre and it is delayed a bit, so to kill a bit time I chose the sledgehammer for its first outing.
Another heavyweight with the barberpole handle. I need better technique as it was a very close shave. Although no indication from Block a splash of S-drug aftershave to close everything up had my face singing I was glad to get the Barts Balm and Oil on.
BBS shave but technique needs to improve, i am sure it will with more use.
All 4 of the OSP Aftershaves i ordered have been delivered. Still waiting for the Sabre.
Have a nice day All
