^^ The T+H hard soap seems to be going through something of a revival of late, you're the third TSR member I've seen using it recently. Looks to be well loved on other forums as well.

Boots Botanics face wash
EJ Chatsworth Barley with Wilkinson Sword Classic blade
Men U shaving brush
Erasmic cream (old formulation)
One Planet post shave balm
I find the Wilkinson Sword Classic blades to be my favourite. I do have a sample pack of 42 blades, and 30 Feather blades from Connaught, along with various packs of WS Classic, Personna (Israeli), and Dorco 301 (Superdrug) from the high street.
I'm working on getting the shave angle right, and held the razor further up than usual like a short handled razor. Today's shave went well, 1st pass WTG & XTG (R, L), 2nd pass XTG (L, R) & WTG, 3rd pass for touch ups XTG (R, L). This was the first time in 3 months that I've used the WS Classic blade.

Schick Injector 'Golden 500'
NOS Injector Platinum blade
C & E Sandalwood cream + Palmolive stick
Nameless 2 band badger 24mm
Floris Mahon Leather edt
A rare outing with the Injector this morning. Such a different experience to the DE - it always delivers such effortlessly clean results, I sometimes wonder why I don't use it more often :icon_confused:

Well its been a while since I posted on the SOTD
Mainly due to my arm healing from a broken radius (right in the elbow joint) I haven't been posting much.
Last few weeks shaves have been with a Mach 3
Today
Mach 3
Semogue 2015
Gillette Classic Cream
Thayers AS witchhazel
Fixegoiste Crash (blue) AS
Im pretty sure my arm is well enough to go back to DE from now on. Maybe it's just the weeks of perfectly good shaves from a Mach 3 now taking it's toll but after my shave my neck became a big red blotch of itchyness. The likes I havent seen since I went ATG with a Feather in my Futur or it could be the £4 for 250ml turkish aftershave. We'll find out soon enough when I get back into my proper routine.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage Marshall Fields badger
1970s Schick M type adjustable injector/Personna Super Stainless (NOS)
Rivivage SS
Hai Karate 'Oriental Spice AS (1966-69 version)
I was thinking about using some Old Spice aftershave this morning, probably because of that cruel offering by Steve (vintage OS soap) a little earlier.
The Oriental Spice called to me for a change and it was a good choice. Marketed to directly compete with the classic OS scent, it's actually a nice fragrance on it's own. Maybe a little more powder than OS, which works in this case.
BBS results,

Nivea Anti-Irritation A/B
Pashana A/S
A bit of a meh shave with the Super-Max, even managed to get a weeper WTG and that was only on setting 2, perhaps the blade and razor don't match, still got a Black Ninja ready for tomorrow. BTW I do love the smell of Pashana
