My Wednesday Shave

Preshave: Argan Bunny Soap
Soap: Signature Soaps - Britannia
Brush: Cadman 30mm Tuxedo
Razor: Russian Straight Razor / Muhle Rocca
Blade: Gillette Facet
Splash: Skin Bracer
Balm: Bart's Lime
EDT: Essence Acqua Fresh (Lidl)

My first ever attempt with a straight razor as recommended in the Video I am watching I shaved with it from my Side Burn to my Jaw line on each side and all went well, no cuts and I still have Ears :) and man that part of my face feels smooth !! Did the rest of the shave with the Muhle Rocca.

Lovely smooth result and the Signature Soaps Britannia grows on me every time I use it.

Post - Alum followed Trumpers Sandalwood Skin Food

I managed to nick myself on the chin. Still shows even a few hours on. Other than that a nice shave this morning. The shave cream had a nice scent for a colder morning. Does anyone else choose scents by the season or weather?

My first Shave with this OC Razor, so to be on the safe side I chose to use a guarded blade, as my heavy beard requires much work. In the hand it feels nicely weighted and has good blade feel without being too aggressive
The Shave was completed without mishap, and apart from the jawline/neck on my RHS the finish quality was good. I shall see how it fares over a few more follow up Shaves.

Somehow...finally able to get a nice fresh aqua marine like scent from this soap. On top of a good lather too.
Shave with EJ DE89 paired with this blade is excellent! Very smooth and hardly any blade feel. Efficient too. 3 multiple pass is enough. Wanted too but forgo chasing after perfection at adam apple area which is now the most sensitove area. Quite happy with result of BBS to DFS. No weepers nor irritation. Rating 9/10

Soap - Reef Point Admiralty sample
Brush - Razorock 24mm synth
Razor - Star 100 Frankenrazor(EJ89 handle)
Blade - GWS#2
Post - Nivea Originals

Swapped Ball End style handle for slightly heavier EJ89 one, blade seemed smoother too. Wonderfully slick lather from Reef Point and Nivea to finish. Nice 3 passes. Better than I was expecting.
