Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney WWII Broad Arrow Black Boar (20/46)
Martin de Candre shaving soap
Delta Echo Feather AS-D2/UFO Little Titan
Wilkinson Light Brigade (2)
Yardley English Lavender aftershave (vintage)

The small brush is not an ideal size for me, but it certainly does an adequate job whipping up lather, and I really like its history. The soap is one of those love-it-or-hate-it ones, and I love it, especially paired with a good lavender aftershave.
 
Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Shavemac TSR 2015 ST
Soap: Vreto Sandalwood
Razor: Karve CB with D plate (on loan)
Blade: Polsilver Łódź
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Pashana Original ASL

My final shave with the KCB and it was a cracker.
I'll be sorry to send it on its way and will be counting the days until mine arrives.
Thanks for the loan Barry (@Barry Giddens ), and my bank manager sends his regards.
 
You're welcome Kevin. Brass for brass mate.

My last shave on Monday night wasn't one of my best so I missed out last night to give my skin an extra day to recover. Plus a bit of extra growth gives me a better closer shave.

My last shave was with my Merkur 34c so I wanted to restore my faith in the trusty razor. Back to the 7 O'clock green blade too as it works well.

I did a usual 3 pass shave WTG, XTG and ATG with pickups. My jawline and neck seemed to be a real problem for me tonight. I tried the “Al Pacino” chin tuck and it made a huge difference. This pose and East to West buffing had my neck as smooth as it's been in a long while. I'll replace my next ATG pass with this for my next shave and it'll hopefully make a big difference and let me cut down on additional passes/pick ups.

Finishing with Thayers and Barts Balm has my faith in my own ability and the 34c restored (more the former!). My skin feels much better than it did 2 nights ago.

Looking forward to my next shave!

All the best folks!
