Pre - Soap Free Face Wash
Soap - Proraso Green
Brush - Yaqi Plissoft 22mm
Razor - Souplex Bakelite
Blade - Gillette Platinum (5)
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Cooling
AS - Benjamin's Bay Rum Mentholated

A really superb lather today with the Proraso Green and Yaqi 22mm Plissoft, I often overlook PG but it really is a great soap, especially when used with a synth brush. I've been 'borrowing' the Yaqi 22mm Plissoft from my dad, and it might be the last shave with it for the time being, the 22mm is more than large enough but I find the loft to be a little on the shorter side of things. The Gillette Platinum seemed to be just as good on it's 5th shave as it was 1st, excellent blade - worked really well with the Bakelite Souplex razor which I think is not a million miles from a Tech on the face.

Pre shave Prep: Nuage Menthol oil
Brush: Vintage Butterscotch Culmak Plus 1950
Soap: Stirling Sandalwood
Blade: Feather pro Blade (5)
Razor: Blackland Vector
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Superdrug aftershave balm
Aftershave: Old Spice Pure Sport


Lovely 3 pass shave all ways.
I struggled with Lather at first, too much water left in the brush, added a bit more soap and it came back. I like these stirling soaps, very good lather cushion and enough scent for me.
The Old Culmak is starting to fan now and it will not be long before she is fully broken in, i have been gentle with her, even so the transfers are starting to fade
No issues with shave and i am feeling good, Clean and smeling fresh watching the FA cup.
Enjoy the rest of the day all.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney Emillion 2 Tiger Stripe Finest (26/54)
Floris Elite shaving soap (tallow)
Delta Echo Feather AS-D2 (Ink Edition)/Triad Diamond Antique Bronze
Wilkinson 'Light Brigade' (21)
Floris Elite aftershave (vintage)

Today's Emillion is a contrast to yesterday's. Although it is much softer and less dense, it made wonderful lather with the old Floris soap.
