I really need to work on my boar brush technique. After a week of test lathers, a super rich lather for the first pass gave way to a barely there, but, just useable lather for the second. My story with every boar brush, ever! I still got a good shave from the Rockwell, of course.Semogue SOC Taj

Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,421
Well the Humphrey's is gone and t replace I have regular Thayers Witch Hazel and this Eucaliptino 70 which will be the most recurring one. Nice stuff. Had a few razors come in with a group buy to get a couple Good Will razors and thought I'd fall off the wagon of SE month and try the Millord which came in as an extra. Nice efficient but mild shaver. Don't see them much in the SOTD pics or talked about. Have a great day Everyone !

Smashing shave with great products. Think I’ll use the Eveready 1912 next which I have not used for a good while.

Soap - Tallow Tabac Stick
Brush - Yaqi Sagrada Tuxedo 24mm
Razor - Yaqi Old Type Clone
Blade - Dorco Prime Platinum (3)
Post - Gillette Arctic Ice
I dug out my seldom used tallow Tabac shaving stick, and dabbed it a little around my jaw, then took my time to build the lather and I was surprised at how much glorious slick thick lather I was able to coax from such a small amount of soap. The Yaqi Old Type is a very mild razor head, and it didn't have enough blade exposure for the first pass and seemed to leave behind a fair amount of growth, but with the second pass the Dorco Prime did the job.
I finished the shave with a few splashes of Gillette Arctic Ice, a bottle I bought on my last trip to India. It's a pretty nice aftershave, a fairly generic inoffensive marine scent, it's quite similar to Brut Oceans which is cheaper and easier to get hold off, which I think I prefer.

Great shave, spot on soap, love this brush (but have a replacement on route!) not a lot more to say! might be off line for a bit with SOTD as I need to sell my phone so will be without until the upgrade arrives but I’ll still be about on my laptop.
Enjoy the rest of your day guys.

Post: TDS Rose Notes ASL, Baxter's Balm
Today I turn 50and I kept back the last sliver of the TDS Rose Notes soap for this occasion. It's easily the best soap I've bought since I started this pastime. The matching ASL remains, but the Extro Cosmesi Barroco will now have to step up and assume the mantle of favourite soap in the locker.
50th Birthday to you..

Brush: Alpha UKWSS AP Gelousy Bulb
Soap: NO Monoi De Tahiti
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: GSB (2)
Post: NO Monoi De Tahiti AS
Great shave this morning, nice easy two pass for a smooth finish!
I think at this point I may call myself a NO fan, out of all the soaps I've tried they have been able to consistently nail the combination of performance and scents that I like. Others I have more of a 50/50 success rate (A&E, B&M, PAA), I'm not talking the staples (lea, proraso, speick etc etc) they just work and are pleasant enough but NO have become my favourites. I'm not looking forward to logbook and the EDPs dropping, I can already feel my bank balance dropping!
Anyway, enough of my ramble, hope everyone has had a grand day!
Cheers
Marc

Second run out for the Supply, faired slightly better than the first - I'm just struggling a little with finding and keeping the right cutting angle, also didn't help that I was rushing and over hydrated my lather either (still smelt great though) .
