Blade = Voskhod ( 3 )

Decent enough shave this but i’m getting fed up of this soap, i actually can’t make my mind up whether i like the scent or not,
i don’t dislike it but it’s quite weird it has a very artificial smell to it unlike the Ariana & Evans Asian Pear which is class.
don’t get me wrong the soap performs well enough
i just think i’m bored.
For some odd reason i don’t use the Rex often enough properly because i’m shaving more regular and my face can’t take the rex to often.
Overall it was a decent shave

I’m with you on the scent of the B&M soap - I can’t decide either. On occasions I don’t mind it, others I’m not fussed.
I do find the performance impressive though. I’m probably gonna keep my eye out for a different scent but in the same base.

I think that this was one of those that would have been an absolute cracker if it was the full treatment. Love the scent of the TOBS cream and finished off nicely with Barts ASL.

Stay everyone.

SOTD May 10th

Brush - Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo
Soap - PAA John Frum CK6
Razor - Ever Ready 1914
Blade Gem Personna SSC #5
Post - Brut AS and Real Musgo Balm

Retro shave that was a joy!
Getting to grips with the 1914 angle now and for me it sits between the 1912 and Micromatic Open comb. The PAA lather was luxurious and abundant. Post shave equally sumptuous.
A glorious shave all round.
Continue to stay safe people and as importantly enjoy your shaves all.
 
Razor- Gillette Slim (6)
Blade- Voskhod
Brush- Yaqi 24mm
Soap- Signature Soaps Mamucium
Post- Speick ASL, Lea 3 in 1 balm

Decided to try out the Voskhod in the slim and it worked really nicely- the slim being a smooth shaver, while also being cranked up ever so slightly to 6 and paired with the smooth yet sharp Voskhod, made for a pretty lovely experience :)

The Mamucium, like all of Brian's soaps, is just brilliant. The performance of these soaps always blows me away and I haven't wanted to use anything else lately, so my soap sample pile that I've been meaning to work through has been put on hold.
I don't see this particular soap get as much attention as some of Brian's others, but I think it should. To me, it's a beeeautiful scent and I'd really recommend it if you enjoy other Signature Soaps.
