762F716B-20B1-4CF4-A734-B388DC1578D7.jpegBit of a random shave today but first class nonetheless.
I came across this sample in a wash bag so decided to go with it.
Iv used this one before so knew what i was getting.
There wasn't much left but still it managed to whip up a wonderful lather.
To be fair scent wise nothing matched,
The soap, balm & splash all had completely different scents but hey sometimes you’ve just got to go with it.
Hopefully One more shave here then home.
Mind you i did say that last month :cry:.

Brush: Knothead Brush Works 26mm AP Shave Co. Synbad
Bowl: Captains Choice Copper Lather Bowl Standard Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: A&E Cuban Highball Puck

Additional Care: Osma Laboratoires Alum Block

A great final day with the G1, with a new soap and splash. On paper this hits all my favourite scents, lime, mint, tobacco and sugar, mixed with soda water. Add to that rum as well, (my go to tipple of choice) and it ‘should’ have been a straight jump to a top 5 soap. How it’s medium scented and light on the lime and mint. The splash is great so it has a stay of execution for now!
Have a great day guys.

Nice enough soap...lightly scented, creamy and slick but unfortunately the lather machine is down for maintenance...hence no ice cream
Always enjoy using this razor for the heft and feel. 3passes for a sas result without any issues. My favorite Clubman aftershave smells great & the longest lasting!

Brush: PAA Peregrino
Soap: SS Co. Triumph
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: GEM PTFE (1)
Post: SS Co. Triumph AS & Balm

Decent shave this morning, seems I've gone off the PAA, just doesn't have the backbone that I like. I could use them for bowl lathering but I do that so infrequently now I may just consign them to the back of the rack. Though I wonder whether it'd be worth trying to pull the knot and replace, food for thought.

Otherwise a decent finish and love the scent on the triumph, think this is an homage to invictus which I did use at one point, doesn't smell quite how I remember it, saying that I have a memory like a sieve.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Friday

Flare tip (apologies for my bad Englandish yesterday!) with the M2 super stainless blade still providing a smooth shave.

Had to be used today as this is a very nice scent, has a sweeter note; akin to candy floss, when compared to Floid Black. Still very nice though and seeing as the donated Floid black is going down in level, this makes a nice addition to my den.

Have a good day all

The Dart and Voskhod seem to be a winning combination for me, Straight in with an ATG pass then some touch ups for a very close comfortable finish.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
