Soap – Blackship Grooming Dicey Pete
Brush – Razorock Bruce 24 mm
Razor – Occam’s (#1)
Blade – Proguard (4)
A/S – Faberge Aquatonic
A/S Balm – Lea 3 in1

Another shave with Occams (#1 guard ). Super comfortable again ,3 passes and pickups.
One weeper due to ++pickups but cold water sorted it out.
I reckon I’ll gravitate to this razor ( #1 ) more and more on days when I need a quick shave, have less growth or if time comes I need to shave daily. It’s so smooth & easy with no adverse effect on my skin regardless how many times I go over it. Boringly satisfying.

BG Dicey Pete soap purchased from @Crossan BST was superb. My first Blackship soap and it's excellent. Quickly whipped up a dense creamy lather. Cushion, glide & slickness are 1st class.
It's a fresh, clean, classy cologne type of scent which I really like. Very similar scent to TOBS Platinum but the Blackship performs better for me.

Have a great weekend. Enjoy your shaves.
Glad you liked it mate, if I'd had the matching splashes I probably wouldn't have let it go, though I'm sure the Mrs would have said something if I hadn't lol

SOTD
Pre shave The Cube Mentholated
Blackland Vector and Feather Pro blade
Stirling brush
Stirling Varen soap and splash
Bulldog balm.

Weird one this. I almost didn't like the Vector due to the feel of the shave. It felt a bit rough if I'm honest, which I'll put down to a lighter head and a stiffer blade. It was smoother on the next two passes and was at no time during the shave, unpleasant. I was however completely taken a back by the finish on my skin, totally smooth with absolutely no irritation or cuts. I was half expecting irritation due to being a mild razor, but none received. Possibly the easiest bbs I've Achieved! I'll reserve total judgement over the next two shaves as these blades are reportedly better then. Anyway the Stirling Varen soap performed as expected and the splash is awesome and I smell fantastic!
Happy Shaving

When I use a friends pc the ads are so intrusive he thinks it is normal. I showed him my tablet with no ads. He instantly wanted to have no ads but he wanted to be able to still use the pc with ads because he thinks that he is making money from the ads shown. Gave him his pc back and said pluck off. Oh amazon bargains woo hoo. :)
