Thanks Iain.

Razor: Fine Marvel
Blade: Astra SP (3)
Brush: Semogue 730HD
Soap: LEA Menthol
Pre: Proraso Green
ASB: Proraso Green
ASL: Proraso Green
Scent: AG AdC
Last outing for the Marvel before I try a different razor. I didn't feel like braving the Arran soap again today so opted for some cooling menthol goodness.
A comfortable DFS finish ending on a high for the Marvel. I'll certainly be keeping this razor in the rotation.
Today's shave was the first with the Semogue 730HD which is one of the Semogue Silvertip Badger models. I really enjoyed this brush. It won't suit those that like a 'stiff' badger but I like a bit of a flop in mine.

I think there must be cue balls that are less smooth than my face. One of those shaves that make you feel you won't need to go near the kit again, for about a week.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 1/1 Ivory Finest (22/45)
Mike's Orange, Cedarwood & Black Pepper shaving soap
Delta Echo Feather AS-D2 (Ink Edition)/UFO U2
Wilkinson 'Light Brigade' (13)
Cigar Aficionado aftershave
The soap smelled mainly of pepper when dry, but when lathered the pepper, orange, and cedarwood tones became equal for me. The orange fragrance was much less pronounced than in the other orange-scented soaps I've tried recently. The lather had good cushion and glide and was not drying.

Soap: Lather Bros Soap Company Wynwood by LatherBros. Soap Company
Brush: Chianti's 24mm Synthetic by @yaqibrush
Razor: 1940s Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Gillette Nacet
Post shave: Lather Bros Soap Company Wynwood balm
Great service: Maggard Razors
Nice fresh fennel with pineapple (sounds weird on paper but works really well) with subtle hint of sandalwood to wrap this scent up. Great lather and post - shave feel and mentholated balm wakes you up in the morning to challenge the world. Oh and that label rocks!
