Thanks, @BrianH, This is an absolutely awesome soap! The scent is light & pleasant with lather is richly creamy and very slick...wow, must be the goat milk!!
The shave today with the razor paired with the blade at setting 9 & 7 was excellent! 3 easy smooth and efficient passes for a bbs finish. The aftershaves were just as good.

@chard52142 The Goat’s milk will give a creaminess and is good for those with eczema, psoriasis and skin sensitivity

It’s the geranium that will remind you of Turkish Delight

Zenith 507 Extra Soft Horse - Signature Soaps Leodis - PAL Injectomatic Deluxe/Proline B - Aramis 900

My first proper use of the Zenith Horsehair and it was actually very nice. It has been sitting unused for a long time as I was worried about the tangle issues I had with Vie-Long Horse brushes. It's too early to pass judgement at the moment...but time will tell.

3 passes for a 'Face Feeler' :)

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: Tabac
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Gillette Winner (3)
Post: Tabac ASL sample, RSC Balm

After a few days on the Wars, the heady scent of Tabac was very welcome. Off out for brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday, and introduce Angus the greyhound to the wonders of pubs. I'm hoping I've trained him as a homing greyhound......

Brush: Chubby 2 Manchurian
Soap: B&M Passiflora
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: GEM PTFE (3)
Post: B&M Passiflora

Quick shave this morning after taking the little one to dance class. Nice smooth irritation free finish, surprisingly getting on well with the passiflora. Very fruity scent but actually quite nice and refreshing change, and on top of that lathers up a dream.

Now to get everyone ready to head for a day out at the farm for the little one, should be an entertaining day out.

Hope everyone has a cracking day!

Cheers

Marc
