Mining Camp Shave

Prep: Barrister Reserve Cool soap, Alt Innsbruck Emulsion
Brush: Shavemac 3-band Silvertip Badger
Cream: Musgo Real Spiced Citrus
Razor: Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Perma Sharp (1)
Post: Proraso Green Aftershave Lotion, Alt Alt Innsbruck Emulsion

Very close shave. A few pinpricks of blood on the neckline; often happens for me with a travel shave.
Post shave products quickly rectified the situation, and left me feeling most refreshed.
 
Wed 28 SR SOTD
Soap Shannon's Soap Pineapple & Banana
Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice Tuxedo
Razor Friedr Herder Abr. Sohn 77 3rd Use
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + HL + TGS Abysso
Soap qualities are good. Good strength, sweet, creamy, and slick...
3rd shave with this razor on a jnat edge was surprisingly better than the previous 2. Took a week's break from SR and somehow it felt better today. 3passes with extra under the jawline & neck gave me a dfs to ccs result which is the best so far from this edge. No weepers nor irritation...yay! Aftershaves were excellent.

Soap: Tabac
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo
Razor: 6Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Siper-Max Blue Diamond Platinum (3)
Post: Tabac ASL

As I think we've established with some of my recent SOTDs it takes the mere mention of some neglected item I have in my stash for me to get a flash of remorse and elevate into my rotation! And that's how today ended up being Tabac. Not much else to say, except to mention that the Merkur is becoming so entrenched as my driver of choice that others are getting neglected, including my recently purchased Fine Marvel which is yet to even get a run out! I'll set a few days side to assess it properly in the next week or so.

I was lucky enough to pick this soap and splash up from @Olie29 on the BST. I've been curious to try it for a while. It's an excellent performer (unsurprisingly) but the scent isn't for me.

Sorry to hear the scent is a miss for you Chris I’ve always liked the scent on the soap but the aftershave is a bit different..don’t dislike it but don’t enjoy it quite as much as I enjoy the scent on the soap
