That is one fab brush!
 
SOTD Saturday 20th August 2016. Good morning shaving room.

Prep..shower
Pre shave..bloom water
Razor..Gillette 1960 fat boy
Blade..Astra SP#1
Brush.. Kent BK12
Soap..OSP SR.
Post shave..thayers AF WH.
AS.. Old spice

This mornings shave just felt ace, nice and relaxed after my shower, I whipped up a great OSP lather with Mr Big and the fat boy handled the stubble perfectly.
Finished off with the thayers followed by a splash of old spice.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. Over and out.

Omega 11137boar
Lea Classic soap
Ever Ready 1914
Gem S/S [ 5 ] & 1/2 Spine shim
Alum Rub/rinse
Lea Classic A/S lotion

The 1914 delivers a smooth and comfortable shave, as it allows one to do precise finishing passes
to get that all round finish. Still finding that I enjoy the challenge of getting a really good shave with an ER1924.

 

Morning All

Shower and Bulldog (the product, that is)
Soap: The Fat
Bowl: Steve Woodhead Ceramics
Brush: Semogue 1470
Razor: Gillette 1951 Superspeed DE
Blade: Feather #1
Post: alum, Thayer's Rose and Aloe Vera, Proraso Pre-Shave and green a/s
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Lothair
Music: William Basinski: The River

Back into DE land again. It's great how a combination of a mild razor and one of (if not the) sharpest blades gives a smooth BBS shave.

I've always face lathered with the Fat; so I thought a bowl lathering would be nice for a change. The Fat (as I'm sure others that use it will testify to) produces a tremendous lather bowl-wise. More than enough for 3 passes and enough to squidge out from the brush for a buffing.

Have a great one, Folks.

Brush: Custom with finest 2-band knot.
Shaving cup: Epsilon.
Shaving cream: Lea Classic.
Razor: iKon X3 with custom handle.
Blade: Sputnik (4).
After shave: Alcolado Glacial.

The shaving cream makes a nice fresh and thick lather.
The iKon X3 razor is, just like the Merkur 39C, a very fine razor - effective
but yet mild. One can hear there's a blade in it, but not feel it ...

DFS++ !

Have a nice day, gentlemen ...
 
Hai Karate Splash!.great stuff.
