Aleppo soap - Shave pre wash
Omega 11126 - boar
MWF
ATT. SE1
Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink ( 2 )
Tuff Red A/S Lotion

A very pleasant Shave today, as the Pink works nicely in this Razor which can deliver quite a harsh Shave with some blades.Am tending to prefer the heavier AC Razors over the really light ones- a couple of Yaqi Rasters gathering dust if anyone wants a Raster head pm me.

Wowsers. Very impressive DIY. I’m more of a Ronseal the fence man

Ronseal? Fence? See, that’s where your going wrong…

What ever happened to creosote? I used to love that smell! Should never have been banned. Actually, now I think of it, it would have made a great shaving soap scent ...

Answered your own question banned because it’s carcinogenic and fumes cause respiratory problems. That’s why I use Ronseal Ducksback which is tedious to apply but quite effective.

Me no like Ronseal or Cuprinol. I use Bedec Barn Paint which goes on and performs like a high quality oil based paint yet is water based and low in VOCs. Expensive but outlasts the above lot by years and I can get it mixed to the colour I want (thousands of RAL/BS codes). Each to their own and if you find summat effective, get with it.

Pre - Sainsbury's Luxury Soap Fig and Jasmine
Brush - Simpson Chubby 1 Best Badger
Soap - Vitos Extra super 70g Stick
Razor - Rockwell 6S - P2
Blade - Kai DE Stainless
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Proraso Red
A/S - Proraso Red

The KAI / 6S - P2 combo was very comfortable although it is as angle critical as a Feather D2.
3 Full passes for a very comfortable, BBS finish. I did think i was going to get a bit more blade feel from this combo which did not happen, back to P3 then.
I am really liking this soap mind.
Enjoy your day all.

This soap is capable of producing a copious amount of creamy & slick lather from just a pea-sized amount... The scent is fresh with a matching splash. The razor is ever reliable...

@chard52142 Thank you Richard. Fantastic “ice cream” lather as ever. You’ll have to make a lathering video for us to learn.

Nice combo - the 22 works so well with a Spoiler.

TomG and AndrewM, two extremely nice set ups. Must make shaving an absolute pleasure with a kit like that.

Cheers, Chalkie.

Train tracks and telephone poles will never smell the same, it would be a great aftershave.
