As this is a good combo for me and I always seem to get a good comfy shave I opted for this set up today.
Bit tight on time so didnt want any complications!
Love this mama bears, real good lather maker

Unremarkable straightforward shave, but thats not a bad thing as everything worked well together! My sample of Proraso AS has virtually gone, so I was super generous with it tonight which was nice, luckily I've ordered some more from Connaught as my excuse for some of the Moos AS sample
Nannys soap reminded me of the lavender ice cream I bought in a farm shop yesterday

The return of my two freshly-restored eBay straights from Neil Miller meant that I had new toys to choose from when shaving tonight Chose the hollow-ground and noticed the total difference in feel and the sound it made when slicing through the stubble compared to my existing straights. This one gave me the closest straight shave yet on the first pass - an absolute blinder. Hugely impressed by the work Neil did; I wouldn't have recognised them as the same razors I sent in. A master craftsman indeed, and I can't wait to try the other one tomorrow.
