SOTD : Saturday 27 August - Friday 2 September 2022.

Forgot to take a SotD pic so here's my brush of the day pic repeated.
What a great shave today. As below, I used a failsafe combo of Phantom Aerolite, Signature Soap Coria and the Lickimat dog bowl. I'm just revisiting bowl lathering for the occasional shave and these are spot on. Ridiculous amount of lather in no time.

I used the Pearl Flexi on #2 and Personna Platinum (2)

The Flexi is quite blade feely even at the low end of the adjustment but it delivered a real face feeler this morning. Can't keep my hand off my chin this morning haha! Finished with Gothic Revival splash and balm for a GReat result.

A Tale of Two Shaves

Shave 1

Leaf loaded with 3 x London Bridge
Somerset's Shave Oil

1 pass WTG

I awakened 40 minutes before an ear care appointment at a hospital 20 min drive away. The emergency single pass was socially acceptable and I arrived on time!

Shave 2

Back home and I just couldn't leave it as was.

Pear's Soap as a pre
Zenith 506N 50/50 Horse
La Toja Stick
PAL Injecto Matic/Personna #5
Witch Hazel and Aloevera
La Toja AS

XTG and ATG for a great result....although the blade felt a little rougher than normal. It has been binned and it will be a fresh start tomorrow.

Plisson synthetic
Rockwell 6S

Another fine shave with the Rockwell. It’s not pretty, but, it certainly works well. Good shaves and no damage. The Martin de Candre is many years old and still works brilliantly and the scent is still present too.

Soap: Barrister and Mann Sandalwood

This was beyond slightly sloppy, it was running down my arm when putting it on my face. Apart from how I had it I would say knocking the bowl in to the sink added a couple of tablespoons of water to the mix. Still did the job though. If i can get it past my normal consistency then its certainly the way ahead.
 
Lovely lather in the style of @chard52142
