Semogue 2020LE Silvertip - MdC Agrumes - FaTip Piccolo Lo Storto/Gillette London Bridge - Guerlain Habit Rouge
My first shave with the Piccolo Lo Storto....and I like it! I think I prefer the solid and slightly heavier handle.
3 passes for a pamper worthy finish

PreShave: Warm to hot water—most from the boiled kettle, some from the tap
Cream: OSP Vintage
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled T&H cream bowl
Razor: Mekur 39C
Blade Derby Extra (3)
Post Shave: Alum
Fragrance: Floris Jermyn Street
Day three of the “Derby Challenge.” The blade felt a little bit rough, but I persevered. It was still a good shave, which left my face feeling smooth after three passes. Enjoy the remainder of the weekend

I’ve said it before Tony, but I’ll say it again - that brush is gorgeous.

St James Black Pepper and Lime
PAA Peregrino
Razorock GC.68-P
Feather Hi-stainless
Bart’s Balm Ben Vorlich
A super easy two pass shave this morning with a close comfortable result. The Game Changer works well with the Feather blade, and the Peregrino brush created mountains of lather with the St. James cream. Bart’s Ben Vorlich is the new name for the brilliantly scented Grapefruit and Pink Pepper balm, one of my favourites. A really pleasant shave.

Good afternoon men
Soap - Wickhams English Rose (Sample)
Brush - ES Medium Jock
Razor - Yaqi Adjustable (2)
Blade - Tatra Platinum #4
Post - Barts Lavender ASL
Just a quick one before heading out for a hit of some golf balls.
The shoreside Bosun’ (SWMBO) has insisted that I have at least 2 days of stubble for the foreseeable future and for it to be “shaped well”.
This will, of course, have major implications on my shaving regime. I’ve told her that I’m the man of this house and what I say goes. Im going to have a 2 day stubble beard for the foreseeable future.
Wickhams English Rose sample was kindly supplied by Jay and it’s a really nice smelling and effective soap.
A little bit of Barts Lavender to finish and that’s about the end of this little marriage guidance seminar.
Stay Safe everyone.

RazoRock Plissoft - Erasmic - GEM Junior 'Baton handle' - GEM Stainless Coated #6 - Williams Aqua Velva A/S - Aloe Vera Gel
I saw a baton style handle on a new 3D razor design by Roger Quintero. It reminded my of how comfortable this style of handle is in the hand.

After attacking the Ivy in my back garden with my Stihl Kombi (with the hedge cutting attachment) and getting covered in dust I made a tactical withdrawal for a bath and a shave.

Pre: Warm Shower and Sukin Revitalising Facial Scrub
Razor: Razorock Hawk SS V3 'A'
Blade: Feather Professional Super
Brush: PAA Peregrino
Soap: London Oatcake Mahogany
Post: Cold Water and SA.A⅃&CO. Light Moisturiser & Aftershave Balm
Another nice and chilled shave to set the day going, terrible weather as usual for a Bank Holiday but spent it entertaining the little'un so a fun one regardless (luckily I have the attention span of a 2 year old anyway so makes it easier)!
Hope everyone has had a cracking day!
Cheers
Marc
