Wonderful under-rated soap. Love the wonderful scent and enjoy the thickly creamy slick lather...
Shave with vintage razor paired with the blade with an added shim was very nice. Really smooth and comfortable and can feel the blade is still crisply sharp & rigidly held up during the atg pass on the chin/lips area. The result was a mostly bbs finish.
Aftershaves were awesomely cool!!

Razor - karve SS #E SB
Blade - NOS Gillette Nacet France 1985 F2

Post - Baxter of California ASB

A superb shave, the Karve E plate paired with a vintage Nacet worked very well indeed.
The Donkey milk soap I had not used for ages but I'm pleased I did today, a luxurious thick creamy lather with a great post shave feel.
A really close and comfortable shave leaving me with the smoothest of finishes.

Have a good weekend chaps.

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: Legno di Rosa
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (1)
Post: Duru Kolonya, Baxter balm

Simple but sweet Saturday shave :giggle: The GWS was sharp from the off, but not to the level of the Super Blue or London Bridge. It coped well with the problem spot on my neck, however, and has tidied it up with no irritation. A spray of Duru to finish to try and counter the crappy weather outside. It didn't make it feel any less dreary out there, but it did at least leave me feeling refreshed!
 
Saturday

Phoenix and Beau Denali
Yaqi Red Marble Tuxedo 24mm synth
Face lather
Merkur 37C
Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Thayer’s Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Fine Snake Bite after shave

Cool and smooth as you like. A great pairing with the slant and GSB. The 37C is a great daily driver; comfortable and very efficient at leaving a 2 pass shave that feels closer to 3.
