SOTD : Saturday 3rd February - Friday 9th February 2018.

The first of many I hope P.
 
TOBS Sandalwood was the first cream I ever used (which reminds me, I have a tub of their Cedarwood. I must use that next time I'm in the mood for a cream).
Snap, me too. I got a tub of this and a small badger brush with a Bearded Colonel Cartridge razor. I was seeking better/cheaper alternatives to the Gillette Fusion etc. I had never used a brush or decent cream/soap before, in a quest to learn how to use these properly I found this forum. I then fell down the rabbit hole, but I am very happy to be here and down that rabbit hole, even if my wallet has taken a beating on the way here.........
 
Indeed...there's a few of us down that hole. It's a proverbial warren
 
Due to long shifts this week, here are my shaves...

Brush: Rough,No Name Boar
Soap: Faena: Dorica
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Barrister & Mann: Latha Taiga Post-Shave Splash

Faena doing the honours today... man, what a rich, bountiful lather, that seems to whip up lighter than most other tallow soaps. Great performance and slickness. Very enjoyable.

THURSDAY.

Razor: Sensor Excel
Blade: N/A
Brush: Rough,No Name Boar
Soap: First Canadian: Kink (2017 L/E)
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm

OH MY GOD...First Canadian: Kink is absolutely phenomenal... it whipped up thick, glossy, creamy... and slick? Man, this is seriously slick soap.. I can honestly say that this soap far exceeded my expectations. First Canadian, please stand up, and take a bow.. you've knocked this one right into the stratosphere. Stellar!

SATURDAY

Smoke on the Water rocked up today, and provided the base for an excellent shave. Even though I feel I didn't quite get the lather spot on, it still delivered the goods... best thing is, it will only get better..
 
How are you finding the GD?
