Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney Emillion 2 Porcelain-Jade Finest (26/54)
Hemingway Accoutrements shaving cream
Gillette New LC/UFO Goliath
Polsilver Super Iridium (6)
Hemingway Accoutrements aftershave

A fine shave. The shaving cream and aftershave fragrance always reminds me of the tropics and Hemingway's later years in Cuba. Gillette's New LC head and the UFO handle are an excellent combination.

Great to hear the razor is delivering and not so that you have a cold.

I always thought as an OC the Timeless doesn't shave like one.

Thanks Chris

Yes, the razor is great - but I wasn't on good form with this stinking cold.

A nice relaxing shave tonight resulting in a BBS finish.

I'm relatively new to OSP's creams having bought a couple recently but their performance is excellent. It's a real shame that they won't be around for much longer. Fingers crossed they reappear in the future.

The Barber Shop cream is exactly what it says on the tin. A lovely scent with that clean barber shaving fresh smell. It performed flawlessly and when finished off with Epsilon Blue it is just wow. It gave a rather fresh sting when splashing it on, but it was that wow factor again.

The 3 passes went by without incident and a really smooth feel is the result.

Topping everything off with a bit of Bart's Lavender aftershave lotion and balm just sealed the deal.

A big smile tonight and still smelling fresher than fresh.

A great shave.

Have a great evening folks. [emoji1303]

YaqI Chianti 24mm Synthetic
Tabac
Timeless .68 OC
Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Quorum Aftershave

Stone me ! that was a belting shave - second time out with the Timeless.
Smooth and efficient, helped by the fantastic and reliable Tabac lather.
The only down side was that the area directly below my nose is sore due to a horrible cold.
Finished with Quorum Aftershave (not that I can smell it !)

Brush: Paladin Lotus Select Badger

Razor: Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Super Iridium (Made in Poland) (3)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet

Another lovely shave - I am on a roll. Three passes for a very comfortable BBS result. The Glide soap is actually a croap, and I would recommend little or no blooming, else you may overload.
This soap produces very slick and luxurious lather, matching beautifully with the no-nonsense performance of the Futur and the excellent Super Iridium Polish blade.
