The midday Sunday shave thematically called, 'Sharks and other nasty marine life (including myself)'
Hammer head shark - Stainless Mongoose
Great white shark - Feather Super Professional
Frilled shark - AP Shaving 24mm Cashmere
Silky shark - Abbate Y la Mantia Matteo
Mako shark - L'Occitane Cade
Tiger shark - Banana republic Neroli Woods
Dangerously annoying and incompetent ship's Captain - Me
'Glad to see the back of you, you useless old bastard'
A great shave with the most bodacious Mongoose. And yes, it is that good
I will wish you all a most fantastic week ahead and very happy here, Thursday is Rammstein down in Cardiff. Looking forward to this one. Still I couldn't end on yet another track from the German industrialists as I have a duty to maintain my loyalty to the Lady musicians from japan. And just to prove a point as to the word 'musicians'.......................
Oh, and I forgot to say.....'I love you all'

Soap • SV Cosmo
Brush • Yaqi Rocks
Razor • Timeless 0.68 SS Scalloped
Blade • Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Post • Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla
It's a funny old game this - soaps and creams coming out of my ears, and still I couldn't decide what to use.
I opened the 'bottom drawer' and picked the closest soap - SV Cosmo. When I first used this soap i was underwhelmed by It's weak scent, but it's grown on me, as it really is a good performer.
Timeless 0.68 & Silver Blue for me is a winning combination - smooth and efficient.
My first use of this Yaqi Rocks Brush, acquired from the BST, thanks to @Boycie83
It's a very handsome (and large) brush, that was a pleasure to use. Soft tips, decent backbone & splay, and it made short work of making enough lather for two shaves.
Finished with Classic Vanilla splash.

Soap/Cream Suezbana Lemon & Tea Tree
Brush Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia
Razor GEM Junior
Blade GEM PTFE 11th Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Reuzel Wood & Spice + Frost Drops
It used to be soft cream but is now harder than most of my soaps so I'm calling it a soap. Fabulous lather from the soap...thickly creamy and very slick...the scent was very nice too...refreshing!
Today's shave with this razor paired with the blade was good and uneventful. 3 smooth passes for a dfs finish without any issues. The aftershaves were good for a hot day ahead...

Brush: C&H 'Amphora' V13
Soap: MdC Fougère
Razor: CB Karve (B)
Blade: GSB (1)
Post: Barts Ben Kilbreck
Needed something on the mild side for today, yesterday's escapades hadn't left visible irritation but the skin was a bit sensitive. So out comes the little used Karve B plate, here I was thinking it was consigned to gathering dust.
Tried to go for the standard two pass but I'm going to say I probably haven't got the familiarity with this plate to make that viable. It wasn't too bad though, very obviously mild compared to my norm so the break was welcome. Outcome was an acceptable finish, but could have done with another pass to pick up a couple of areas on my neck. Normal service hopefully resumed tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a grand day!
Cheers
Marc

Monday Morning:
Gym session - good start to the day.
Made better with a decent shave thanks to Valentia - no, not some posh classy chick, but one of Brian's soaps!
[When I was talking to my brother and I said I shaved with Valentia, he said "who the f*ck is Valentia?" him thinking I was playing away and having some weird shaving relations!!!! ]

The Feather razor is one of my oldest DE razors, but time has not tarnished it. A wonderful two passes and I am really smooth. The Feather razor is certainly mild but it is also quite efficient. I just love this razor, it surprises me every time I use it.Yaqi Dandelion
