Prep: Shower with Baxter’s of California face scrub.

Pre: PAA cube unscented.

Soap: Tabac.

Brush: ZENITH unbleached bristle chrome handle 2000 C XSE

Razor: Karve D plate

Blade: Astra SP

Post: Alum and Bart’s aftershave balm.

I love this razor but this plate will need to be saved for when I have a couple of days growth! It wasn’t harsh but I can normally do a 3 pass shave daily with a mild razor and this was just a touch too much. Regardless I still think it was great, and has gone to the top of my razor pile.

In line with some notes I made about this Boots Albany Mentholated soap when I first test lathered it, in use this evening for a shave it is indeed a thick producing lather! Thickest I've seen! Mentholated? Yes, but not in the modern sense of the word, which is just too much and your face hurts; this is a gentle cooling waft of loveliness that punctuated the shave as the lather is moved around or shaved over. Truly delightful!

I then had a shower and inadvertently got my new EcoWarrior shampoo bar on my freshly shaved face, a soap which has orange and ginger essential oils in the mix! Yes, that brought some heat. All is well, though, with a good splash of Jovan Musk after drying off. Hey @RussellR5555 if you're struggling to find some love for Tabac, give this one a wide berth!
Tell me about the handle, does the name start with an "S"?

Razor handle what is it???
 
Razor handle what is it???
It's a copy of a Swing handle made by a chap who posted here? ATG? as Red Horseman. He was some manner of machinist and spent his dinner hour making razor handles for us.

I have this brass one for my favourite 1924 and a couple of stainless steel one with the earlier thread and one with the later thread.
