S.O.T.D. Saturday 6th May to Friday 12th May 2017

Georgetown Pottery G12 Scuttle (Hamada and Persimmon)
Rooney 3/3 Finest #2 (26mm/65mm)
Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna shaving cream (vintage)
Feather AS-D2/Triad Titanium Polished-Satin Diamond
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (7)
Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna aftershave (vintage)

This Triad handle has about the best feel in my hand of any of my handles.
 
I have just ordered the ATT SE1 with bamboo handle - waiting for it to arrive.

I love the BBA shave oil, it is going to be one of my shave staples.

Just had a brilliant offer of a Supply from a member on here, too good to pass up
The BBA range is a winner IMO. The shave oil, at first didn't impress, but I didn't give it much of a chance, I now love it,....their moisturiser and Post Shave balm are superb as is the Face Wash.
 
It's also a great facial oil. Try it before you go to bed after using a face wash.
 
I've definitely found my favourite style of handle. I love the ergonomic shape to these barber style brushes. This El Druida Manchurian is a keeper[emoji7]
On another note , apologies to Sapone Di Paolo because my poor shave recently was at least in one aspect down to the blade. I swapped this Kai Captain Mild out after pass 1 for a Feather Pro and it was silky smooth thereafter.

Last shave in the bush.

Got the lather right this time, and thus a very comfortable three pass shave. The Sticky is not as efficient as the ATT M2, but is very easy to master, and rarely yields weepers or irritation - a really great go-to razor.
I have enjoyed using the Arlington cologne on this trip - whilst a Fern composition from the opposite side of the Globe, it worked well with the native autumn bush scents of the Great Sandy Desert, which was surprisingly fertile and green following record rainfall.
