Brush: Frank Shaving 20mm Best Badger
Soap: Phoenix and Beau Sanskrit (sample)
Razor: Parker 99R
Blade: Lord Super Chrome (2)

Back when I had the newbie box, my favourite soap by a country mile was the P&B Sanskrit, and I determined that Santa would be getting me a tub for Christmas. However, since the sample was so small I could only use it for face lathering, and I recalled getting some face irritation at some point when in possession of the box which I (incorrectly) put down to the razor at the time. With all this in mind, I felt it prudent to get a sample from shavedash just to confirm that this would be my Christmas soap.

The scent is every bit as delicious as I remember - sort of like a spicy cola, but pleasant (I'm not very good at describing scents, you may have noticed), and it leapt into a lather as soon as the brush looked at it. I'm happy to report no face irritation, and I'm going to be an extra good boy for the rest of the year just so Santa will have no hesitation in getting me some.

The Super Chrome cuts, but is less sharp than some. It doesn't drag, but it's not as smooth as others. It's a perfectly serviceable blade, but I can't honestly see me buying another tuck in the future.

Happy shaving, everyone.

Very nice shave this morning I'm feeling smooth and smelling great .... Have a Good Day Shavers :)
 
Monday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Weber ARC
Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra
Brush: New Forest Tubby 1 Finest
Soap: Ariana & Evans 'Khalifa'
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / RazoRock Aftershave Wax

the GBE is proving to be a lovely blade, and 'Khalifa' is a soap that easily whips up into a wonderfully lush lather, that can hold A LOT of water, to provide a lovely slick, protective lather... the scent reminds me of 'Black Afgano', which in my book is a GOOD thing... finished off with the equally smoky RazoRock Aftershave Wax... RESULT!
 
Gibbs No.17
Shark SS
Omega Boar 011829
Humphrey's Cucumber & Melon Witch Hazel
Tabac Soap & Aftershave

Sublime shave this morning, my Omega Boar 011829 is really on song and I secured one of the best shaves I have had from the Gibbs. I am not sure if this is because I replaced the spring or familiarity now with the razor but it just hit the spot. To top it all my SOC Taj Bodger arrived this morning...feels great in the hand looks superb. Feeling good, looking great...
 
Tuesday 12th June

RSC Facial Scrub and Vitos Pre Shave Cream
Palmolive Sensitive Shaving Cream
Turkish Copper Bowl
Omega S10083 Synthetic Brush
Yaqi Scalloped Razor on a Windrose Damascus Steel Handle
Polisilver SI Blade
Witch Hazel
Aloe Vera Gel
Forest Fresh AS
Al Rehab Sultan PO before I go to work later

I have had an extra night duty dropped on my plate:(.....so it is a late shave today.
The scalloped DE head performs very well. Definitely worth an add on if you are ordering from the Yaqi shop....or even on its own as hey just add all the postage with no discount for multiple orders.

Three passes for a fine BBS shave ....and I will pamper myself with some nice 'smelly stuff' tomorrow afternoon!
