The Mason Pearson Pure Badger- i used mine exclusively for over 7 years (before I got sucked in to the world of online shaving forums !)
Mine has been retired now - it's like an old 'floppy friend' !
I wouldn't mind putting another knot in it, as the handle is a very nice shape

Prep: Warm shower
Brush: AP Lemon Drop 26mm TGN Boar
Soap: B&M Reserve Spice
Razor: Koraat 6/8
Post: Cold Water and B&M Reserve Spice Splash

Decided to take a brief hiatus from the Tedalus Essence to take another run with the Koraat. Excellent weapon of choice alongside the newly acquired B&M spice from the slickboys sale. Another win in the recent acquisitions, really nice scent and the performance is excellent.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Cheers

Todays Cold Water Shave Kit - Saturday 3rd July 2021

Shave Score 9.5 \ 10.0

PreShave: Hot Shower \ Signature Soaps - Patchouli Essential Oil Foaming Shower/Bath Wash
PreShave: PAA The Cube 2.0 "Menthol"
Soap: Signature Soaps - Danum (Patchouli)
Brush: Yaqi 26mm - Timber Wolf
Razor: Merkur 500 (4,4,2)
Blade: Personna Crystal (1)
Post Shave ASL: Signature Soaps - Danum (Patchouli)
Post Shave Balm: Barts Balms - Ben Lomond (Cinnamon & Patchouli)
Post Shave Cologne: Penhaligons - Douro

What a great start to the weekend, a Patchouli Shower and Shave courtesy of Signature Soaps, @BrianH, my favourite scent from my very early childhood, cant get enough :)

Also attached is a photo of blades discovered in my quest for a bluebeards revenge blade that is cheaper than bluebeards revenge prices.

I‘ve kindly been helped out on this quest by fellow TSG mates and this led ultimately to the blade at the bottom, an Amazon/Boots basic blade which along with the bluebeards revenge blade all turn out to be Personna Tomys :)

I also tested the Personna Crystals and Personna Platinums along the way, these are NOT the bluebeards revenge/personna tomys.

I can 100% confirm the bluebirds revenge is the same as the boots/amazon blades, and the boots/amazon blades are in fact are Personna Tomys.

Hope everyone has a stress free safe weekend :)

Joe

Wk 27 (1).JPG
Back to my normal routine and up today was the wonderful Koraat B-II.
A really nice shave this morning
Up very early, shave then out the door to get some bits and bobs done in the town.
A bit of chill out time, a bit more running around before the match tonight.
Stay Safe and enjoy your day All
 
Razor = Karve Christopher Bradley Plate C
Brush = PAA The Green Ray 24mm Triple Synthetic
Blade = Astra Superior Platinum ( 2 )
Soap = Ariana & Evans Asian Pear & Matching Splash.
Balm = B&M Frankly My Pear.
Brilliant Shave today & nice & summery
One of my favourite scents but haven’t used it in over 5 months.
The Brush is advertised as
Hybrid Triple Synthetic what ever that means but what i can say is it’s the softest brush iv ever used and lathers very well.
i’ll be glad when this weeks over,
shaving everyday is just not for my skin although i feel like it’s getting easier.

Perhaps the next time i do this i’ll only have 2 passes as apposed to 3.
Enjoy the summer boys & stay safe
