Prepped with a warm wash. Used my new P&B Interlinked soap with my EJ best badger (I used a smaller brush so I don't coat the inside of my ears!) I like the scent, just a hint of mint and I really get the pepper.
I decided to go for my GC.84 as I had a few days growth, loaded the Elios I used last time, as it was fairly smooth. Finished with the P&B Interlinked post shave lotion, very nice.
Shave was good, but I think I get a better lather with the bigger brushes, so may stay bigger, although I didn't coat my ears using one with a smaller knot!

SOTD 28th July 2021

Pre - PAA Cube - unscented
Razor - Gillette Tech - EFB - short fat windrose handle
Blade - Souplex
Soap - Hampfat number 2
Brush - Zenith unbleached boar
Post - Pashana aftershave

It's been a while, so I thought I would take the Tech for a spin and had a lovely shave, the Hampfat Number 2 was refreshing with the Tea Tree oil blending with the Lavender oil.
The brush is everything I could want from a boar bristle brush.

Until the next time,

Paul.

refreshing shave to hectic day. Much needed .
soap: Stirling mountain man
Brush: zenith boar unbleached
Razor: ambassador rex (3, 2, 2)
Blade: Gillette nacet #3
Post: brut AS

third outing with rex - didn’t venture any further yet . Nice and smooth razor that is quite enjoyable - it actually might take over my blackbird as no 1 DE in my small stable. Trying to run down the sample so I can squash another one to the bowl - so here goes again mountain man soap! Lovely scent!

Austere august challenge will also be starting in next few days - so besides MMOC and gem blades , I need to decide what soap to use as well as brush!
 
Thu 29 SOTD
Soap B&M Seville
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor Karve Brass SB-D
Blade Gillette London Bridge 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + HA + Aqua Velva Musk
This is an excellent soap! No wonder it's one of B&M's favorites. Beautiful scent, rich creamy and slick lather...outstanding!
Shave with the razor paired with this blade was very enjoyable as well. Just effortless, so smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a bbs finish.

Tabac is great! But here’s to hoping that the new formula isn’t as bad as they made it out to be… (I’ve ordered couple of tabac refill sticks just in case )
