Wilkinson Sword Classic & Feather blade
Simpson M7 Sovereign Fibre
De Vergulde Hand shaving soap
Ombia Men Classic after shave

The Ombia Men after shave is an amazing ‘Made in Germany’ splash and only €3,95 at Aldi. It’s just as much a quality product as Tabac or Speick. Highly recommended!

 


Preshave - Wright's Traditional Soap
Razor - Fatip Lo Storto Originale
Blade - Super Shave X
Brush - TSC Best Badger
Lather - Nivea Liquid Shaving Cream
Splash - Witch Hazel and Brut



Second shave with this razor and blade. Another very good one, better than yesterday's in fact. Very comfortable, just not quite as effective over two passes as my most efficient razors.

Happy with the outcome though:

 
Pre shave - Warm shower
Soap - Proraso Green
Brush - Dovo Pure Badger
Razor - Tatara Masamune Ti
Blade - Feather Platinum
Post - Proraso Green AS

My first shave with the Tatara Masamune, it’s like driving a lightweight sports car, so precise and manoeuvrable. A great experience and a very smooth shave….possibly the best so far, and zero irritation on my neck. Very happy with this.

Tabac (Veg) Shaving Soap & Omega Tricolore Pure Bristle
Muhle Rocca Gold & Treet Classic (Carbon) (3)
Avon Musk Aftershave Cologne

Variation on the same theme ...

Very enjoyable run through the top Treet carbons - the Durasharp for the first part of the week and this Classic for the last three days. Superb blades! Absolutely at home in the Rocca.

Fun running through three legacy Musks which form a kinda trio - Jovan Musk has the sweet/amber covered, while Coty Musk is the peppery musk and Avon Musk fills in the astringent leathery edge. Love 'em all. My Coty Musk is running low, though.
