Another excellent soap! Intoxicating scent, thickly creamy and slick lather...awesome!! The brush is very good for face lathering!
Shave with razor paired with this blade was very good. Initially abit skippy but once found the correct angle...it became very smooth and comfortable in 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Aftershaves were fantastic!

Prep: Shower with Bulldog oil control charcoal soap bar
Soap: Pinnacle Grooming Le Male
Brush: Yaqi Moka Express Synthetic
Razor: Futur clone
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium
Post: Baxter’s of California Shave Tonic and Baxter’s aftershave balm.
My weekend rest of new blades with the razor constant continue and the polsilver were a sharp and efficient shave, paired with the razor surprisingly made for a lovely mild shave.
The Pinnacle Le Male has always smelt amazing but today was the first time I didn’t get a reaction from it. It lathered it up into and amazing thick cream, smells really close to the original JPG but if anything it may be actually stronger. I wonder if it had a top layer to seal the soap in it that I reacted to initially or whether it ‘split’ somehow, (don’t know if that’s even possible) and the longer lather just mixed it back up and meant I no longer had a reaction. Or I could just have got used to it! Either way I’m happy to keep it now as was on the verge of passing it in.

Another bargain aftershave from Lidl, X-Bolt. I've had the EDT for a while now, and agree with its similarity to Boss Bottled.

An early morning shave today as i knew i would have been busy this morning.
A really nice lather today from the ever dependable OSP, face lathered today with the Alpha Ti G4 synth.
The blade was next out of the trial pack dispenser so in the razor it went, i felt it was a little rough on the first pass and i actually thought about binning it after its 1st outing, saying that, as the shave progressed the edge seem to really smooth out, by the time i got to the end of the ATG pass i was very happy with how it felt - reprieved to shave another day.
I really like using the Brass-Bird preferring it over its Stainless brother (which has been rehomed), it just seems smoother for me, YMMV of course.
A very easy post shave routine finishing with the Vintage Avon splash.
I am BBS with a wonderfully comfortable Finish, a real face feeler today.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Pre: ES pre-shave oil
Razor: Tatara Masamune
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: EJ Silvertip Synthetic
S cream: Proraso Firenze Azur Lime
Post: Davidoff Cool Water AS balm & EDT

A very smooth 3 pass + tidy ups shave. I have (or my skin rather) a preference for milder razors. All reviews indicate Masamune being on the milder side but I would say it is towards to top of mild agression in my spectrum.
