So, after a surprisingly disappointing weekend shave, with a puck that arrived last week, I was welcomed with a totally faultless mid week Sensor shave today. Lather Bros: Calle Ocho delivered the goods so effortlessly in all departments.. Like I said, I really couldn't fault this soap. Top Class!
 

Happy Birthday Brian.

Today I ruled out the soap and bowl from being at fault on Monday, great lather and a good shave barring user error on my Adams apple. I think I am now back to favouring my natural hair brushes (waiting on a Yaqi, sold Razorock 400) and this horse hair brush has never let me down yet. I don't know where I stand on Astra's yet, people seem to quite like them but they are ok to me, nothing overly impressive.
 

Happy birthday Brian - nice present to yourself. Thoughtful and well chosen - ha ha. I hope you are having a great day - and many more to come - yours - I.

Soap: TOBS Sandalwood
Razor: Blackland Sabre

Post: Warm then cold water rinse, TOBS Sandalwood AS

A very smooth shave from the Sabre, it feels good in the hand and manoeuvres nicely, although a few pick-ups were required, I really like this gem of a razor.
