A lovely shave using a soap that hasn't seen the light of day for a good while, it's a good soap and should be used more!
Superb clean finish and very happy with today's shave.
Have fun in the sun but let's be careful out there!

Brian's SS soaps are pretty much the only 'artisan' soaps I use on a regular basis.13/06/21

I am suitably impressed! what a great shave.
The Signature soap is really up there on the top of my soap tree, i do like my OSP soaps and never thought they would be "topped", however, the top of the league table is very close now.
Yes, it's blooming lovely!I'm not a badger brush enthusiast personally (I do not like the face feel) but I love the look of the bloom of that brush's knot.

OSP Soaps I find to be a traditional thick tallow lather, like Tabac's sophisticated cousin, SS lather's are the best vegan lathers, slick, good cushion and a nice neutral post shave feel.
Also the Danum splash is dynamite, for those who have the Hampshire Wool Fat Shaving soap, this pairs beautifully with it.
It’s nice for something from Bolton to be up there around about top of the league. Lately Bolton seems only to be top of the COVID-19 league, but hopefully football team will finish top of League 1!! We live in hope!13/06/21

Another wonderful Bowl lather today, then a face full of soft badger from the fantastic knot in the Silver Birch Brushes Cocobolo,
I set the razor on #2.75, my normal Rex setting and away i went, A really efficient 1st pass WTG, the blade giving plenty of feedback through the razor, i think my technique/angle is getting there with the Pearl, I then completed a full XTG pass, still comfortable, i thought i would try to back it off again to #2, just for confirmation, instead of a touch up i completed a full ATG "gunpowder" pass and yes, with improved angle the razor was letting me know it was picking up, but oh so comfortably.
A wonderful post shave leaving me Clean, Fresh, BBS, smelling like a 1970's student house party and ready to face the busy day ahead.
I do like this Razor, i have stopped shaking it now, there is no need, It works, it does what it is supposed to do really well for me.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
