Face lather again. Excellent!!!

Razor - Ball End Tech
Blade - Voskhod/Gillette 7OC Permasharp
Brush - Yaqi Fan Tuxedo
Soap - Palmolive Stick
Post - Witch Hazel/Intesa Glacial Lotion
AS - Superdrug Forest Fresh

The new Vosk didn't quite feel right so it was changed for a different blade and the shave improved instantly. Vosks have a reputation for having occasional erratic QC but of the 20 odd Vosks I've used to date this was the first dud one I have encountered.

Anyway chaps, have a good weekend.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 1/2 Faux Horn Finest (24/50)
Crabtree & Evelyn For Men shaving soap (vintage)
Haircut & Shave No75/Bob's Razor Works Amboyna Burl
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (1)
Barrister & Mann Cologne Russe aftershave

Back to an excellent blade; what a relief. I have only used the H&S head a couple times, but it appears to shave much like the polished Timeless Titanium and the Raw Shaving RS-10. The BRW handle, like an old Wilkinson Sticky, actually feels more grippy when wet.
