The Semogue was a present from Santa and I'm nowhere near getting the best from it yet. It's a million miles away from what was my daily brush

give it a bit of time. i bought a semogue oc 2 band last year and it took a while for me with it, i was very close to putting it on BST. then it just seemed to change one week when it properly broke in, and now i love it. a wonderful brush.

Pre Veleiro soap + Musgo Real shaving cream + Vulfix 2234 Best + Weber Bulldog with Merkur head and Filomatic #2 + Herbíssimo balm + Penhaligon's English Fern EdT

Another excellent shave, gentlemen! BTW I found much easier to use this Musgo Real cream facelathering with it instead of using in bowl.

Cheers!

today's shave

Valet-Auto Strop
Feather FHS-5 Blade
NSS cedarwood & Vetyver shaving soap
Kent Bk8 Brush

Result smooth and pampered :heart:

First shave with this razor and I've been waiting since before christmas... and well worth it.

 

[Griffo]

Fatip Grande
Crown blade
Boots shave stick
C&E badger brush
Proraso splash

first time using a Crown in my Fatip - I had 2 left so thought why not - and first time using the Boots shave stick. Not a good shave and really had to swear when the AS went on although no blood anywhere. however I'm still quite smooth even now. Don't understand it. Not a combo I'll be trying again through.

Prep: Hot Shower
Brush: New Forest Super Badger
Soap: Floris JF

New goodies to try out...

Hot flannel
Proraso Pre, menthol
NF Tubby1 brush, Speick shaving stick
Fatboy (setting 5), Astra SP (1)
Cold splash & alum block
Clinique post-shave healer

Not bad at all for a first shave with a "new" razor, but played it safe with an Astra SP. Read somewhere that you can normally go one setting higher with a fatboy than a slim... so that's what I did
