1st use of brand new 404 brush; it wasn't too bad at lathering despite its first outing and it wasn't particularly smelly either. The 404 is significantly smaller than my usual Omega 49 boar.
3 pass bbs shave, but slight careless nick to lower lip - so not ready to try a Muhle 41!

Late post today, A very rare trip to work on a Saturday morning. Home, shower, shaved and out with Mrs Chin Christmas shopping.
At least its done now.
A new Polsilver fitted to the 6S and it seems a lot smoother than the last couple i have tried (just as well, took delivery of 200 last week).
It still did not feel totally smooth on the WTG pass then it came into its own XTG & ATG. 3 passes for a very smooth finish.
Nothing from the block and a nice post shave routine.
And Relax.
Enjoy your evening All.

Like the wee dug (dog) Tony, looks like my lakeland terrier.

Razor: ABC 1910 Floral 503B
Blade: Gillette 7O'Clock SharpEdge Yellow
Pre-shave: Georgetown Pottery Scuttle G12
Brush: Rudy Vey Jade & Horn
Lather: Pre de Provence No. 63 Soap
Aftershave: PDP No. 63 Balm

Fun shave. I love the texture and the mass the handle brings to the shave. The PdP63 was the first soap I really got the handle of. The scent is pretty intoxicating, making the soap and balm a real treat for the day. I also have the beard oil and brushless cream, both of which are solid.
