Brush - Omega 10075
Soap - Palmolive
Razor - Yaqi Cobbed/V3A
Blade - Voskhod (3)
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Balm
AS - Benjamins Bay Rum Mentholated

I've been wet shaving for a few years now and largely settled on a few brushes and razors, and even though they suit me really well I still get a bit bored of largely using the same items for the majority of the time and for today's shave I used a few things which I largely neglect. The Yaqi Cobbed razor head isn't my most used razor as I generally find it to be a bit on the aggressive of things, and in the shave today it was superb for the first pass and even though I dropped a pass (did 2 passes opposed to 3) my skin wasn't feeling great at the end of the shave. The Omega 10075 even though it's a scrubby brute and produces a great lather, I find it a bit on the small side of things. I could part with the brush and razor head but I find the occasional use of both reminds why I like slightly larger brushes and milder razor heads for the majority of the time.

Anyway chaps, have a good Friday - the week is almost over and the weekend is almost with us....

Though the O clone is quite mild I find it quite efficient, and because it is forgiving I can work away merrily to get rid of my tough beard without any problems.A very pleasant Shave with an ultra close finish, and feeling squeky clean.
