Prep: Warm shower
Brush: Lemon Drop 26mm TGN Boar
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Pearl Flexi
Blade: Gillette Blue Silver (2)
Post: Cold Water and Tabac Aftershave Lotion

Grand shave this morning, took the razor a little further this morning. Started at 5 and still a smooth shave, manage to catch my chin (got a little blasé) but nothing major. Finish was excellent helped along by Tabac and the boar.

Still early days but happy enough with the flexi, be interested to see how it holds up over time.

Hope everyone has a cracking day.

Cheers

Marc

Superb close and comfortable two pass shave this morning, but, unfortunately, for the second day running failed to load enough soap into the badger brush and had a thin lather on the second pass. I seem to have become too used to the ways of synthetic brushes and lost my touch with the badger.

Soap - Arko Hydrate Cream
Razor - Gillette Flat Bottom Tech
Blade - Polish Polsilver (10)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Superdrug Forest Fresh

3rd shave with the Arko Hydrate cream, I'm really liking it. It's got a very nice mild fougere scent to it, it's not the slickest cream out there or has the most cushion but is a nice no nonsense kind of product.
I had a few days of growth and the blade left behind a little more growth than I like, but it's an acceptable shave nonetheless.

Have a good day gents.

Tabac A/S Lotion

This quite light Razor is quite a revelation as I do not normally like lighter Razors. However, I find that no undue pressure is required to make it work as one might expect, it is very efficient yet not aggressive.Using the Tabac today meant that with a great lather, a quality Shave was assured.

SOTD 19th Aug
Pre - PAA Cube
Brush - Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo
Soap - A&E Socal Hipster
Razor - Rockwell 6c R3
Blade - Rockwell Swedish SS #1
Post - Barts Balm Bergamot & Vanilla

A solid set up to ease my concerns of this blade(of which I received 100 when I bought the Rose 6C).
Everything came together nicely for this shave. The 6C ALWAYS delivers regardless of the blade - a fine tool for reducing stubble. Brush and soap provided a sumptuous lather - think the soap is probably the one from my Den I couldn't be without now. Its scent (very close second only to P&B Sanskrit) and performance are both exemplary. Barts finished this shave off beautifully- again, Barts Balm perform so, so well. 3 passes for an easily obtained DFS. Very nice indeed.
Take care all.

Nice looking brush handle! Too bad it's got badger fuzz in it. ;)
