A welcome, long overdue return to a soap that my wife has all but taken ownership of! Refreshingly sweet scent, which I left to waft for the morning, sticking to witch hazel and no ASL.

Brush: C&H 'Longtown'
Soap: PAA Blue Samhain
Razor: CB Karve Brass (F)
Blade: GSB (2)
Post: Cold Water and PAA Blue Samhain

Cracking shave this morning, moved up a plate and still great, can definitely feel it now. GSB still holding strong and weirdly I really like this PAA. It's a strong one and lasts a good while, not my usual 'flavour' but definitely one I'll keep in the rotation over the winter months!

Hope everyone has a grand day of it!

Cheers

Marc

Pre-Shave - Proraso Green
Soap - TOBS Grapefruit
Brush - Vie Long extra soft synthetic 24mm
Bowl - Fine lather bowl
Razor - Occam's ( #1 )
Blade - Proguard (3)
A/S - Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
A/S Balm - Proraso Green

3 different top guards with this razor #1 mild, #2 medium and #3 aggresive. Had my first two shaves with medium #2 so I tried #1 today.
Had a few days growth but it was still very efficient on 3 passes. I did work a little harder on the pickups drawing a couple of weepers but cold water was enough to deal with them. Still very comfortable and irritation free despite ++ on the pickups.
The TOBS is a potent punch in the face of grapefruit. Added menthol from the pre-shave made for a really enjoyable and invigorating shave.
I love this Epsilon Blue Med aftershave. The matching shaving cream could well be on my list for Santa.

Have a great day and enjoy your shaves !

I noticed the queries about this razor and picked one up on Amazon. It’s a bit of a beast being nearly 120mm long. The finish is ok and the adjustment collar is positive as is the loading mechanism. I wound it up to max and it performed well. I like heavy razors and its up there with the Merkur Vision and a fraction of the price.

This is a wonderful soap! Lovely bayrum scent, rich creamy and very slick lather...

Greetings,

Early morning shave.

The Derby Premium /Kanzy K100 duo paired together wonderfully. The Kanzy K100 razor isn't the most efficient razor but it gives a close acceptable shave.

It's been quite a while since i last used the cella shaving cream and forgot how much of a wonderful performer it is...Every time i use it's scent reminds me of Cherry Bakewell Tarts...If i had to pick a favourite cream/soap ASL duo then the classic old school Cella Crema Da Barba & P&G Old Spice original aftershave would be a very strong contender. :love:

A Enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Boots Freshwood ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
