Happy as a pig in wotsit; alternating between SE and DE; badger/boar/synthetic; soap and cream. Bliss. The agony of choice, and all that.
The Fat, as always, is up there with the best (imho, of course). Lovely post-shave feel; especially when you need it in colder weather.

Went for a 'German' theme today, rewarded with a great shave.
I nicked your idea to put the Blue's shaving soap label on another container...thanks!Tuesday 22nd
Zenith 506A TS Synthetic
Blue's Goats Milk Tallow Soap
w/Olbas Oil
Rocnel MD SE-P-2016-TR
AKA - Rocnel ½DE
½ Astra SP #2
Alum > Rinse > Alcolado Glacial Splash
RSC Post Shave Balm
The Blue's soap is virtually unscented so ideal for scent spiking. Olbas Oil is quite high in Eucalyptus and Mint essential oils. About 4 drops in the lather bowl worked fine. It has a cooling effect and sure clears the sinuses.
My Rocnel technique improves with each shave. Rapidly becoming a favourite in my razor rotation.
Shave well!!!
A well staged picture GB, great pot.Another pot, I'm afraid...but I did say in a previous post that I would do a pic of the pot I decided to use for my Baskerville soap...et voila:
Pre: Hot shower and Proraso white pre-shave
Shave: P&B Baskerville, The Duke, EJ89/Braveheart + Nacet
Post: Wright's coal tar soap, cold rinse, Boots Witch Hazel, M&S Woodspice Burgundy AS and Balm
My earliest memory of the Hound of the Baskervilles is the scene in the (I think) 1959 Hammer horror version, with Peter Cushing as Holmes, where Sir Hugo and his mates ride with hounds after the girl who has escaped across the moors...They wore red riding jackets...
