Thanks must go to you Rob for letting me borrow such a nice razor. The Atlas handle is looking great.
Prep: Hot shower, L'Oreal Charcoal face wash and Saponificio Varesino Stella Alpina bath soap
Pre: G.F Trumpers Coral Skin Food
Razor: ATT S2/Atlas
Razor blade: Polsilver
Brush: shavemac 2 Band Silvertip (unique knot)
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Stella Alpina
Post: Hot and cold water rinse and G.F Trumpers Coral Skin Food
EDT: Guerlain L'Homme L'Eau Boisée
First time using the ATT S2 for a while after it's little holiday with @Boru62 . Thanks Kevin for taking care of it.
No issues removing 4 days growth with the Polsilver blade being a superb match for the S2.
The SV soap provided plenty of protection and glide.
Finished off with a sample of GFT Coral Skin Food (received from Executive Shaving).
This was the first time using anything by them and rated it. Not sure how much it added to my shave as the SV soap is already class.
I might have used a bit too much to finish off with but it didn't take too long to absorb into the skin. My skin now feels soft and smooth without a hint of stickiness.
I thought seen as we are coming up to the end of the year. I'd leave you with my top 10 tracks of 2017 with a couple on my SOTD posts running up to New Year (hopefully this won't annoy anyone).
Here's the first two to kick things off..

Post:

Brut ~ Attraction Totale Aftershave.
Greetings,
A nice & easy 3 pass + pick ups DFS shave, with no errors to report.
Ive experimented with making another frankenrazor from the Lord L125 head/Muhle R89 handle..the verdict?
A excellent non-aggressive combo, perfect match for a relaxing sunday shave...The R89 handle gave the frankenrazor a nice weight,making the shave very pleasurable.
Finishing the shave off in old school style with a very generous splash of Brut ~ Attraction Totale A/S..
i've stated before if i had to pick only one A/S splash then this would be a very high contender...I love the stuff.
My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your Sunday, ladies & gentlemen.
How is that brush doing Ben?Sunday;
Gunmetal 6C - #5
Gillette Rubie - #1
YaQi Space Silvertip
Stirling Frankincense & Myrrh
Lovely scented soap, plenty strong and very much akin to P&B Sanskrit in my opinion. A bit 'rounder' and softened well by the vanilla but the cardamom makes a certain and definite appearance. Slickness to boot plus two passes has given me a fantastic shave. This blade is sharp! Effortless stuff with plenty of buffing! Top notch.
Roll up, one and all!
You have an impeccable taste in music Rob, thanks for sharingP.
