I just can’t get enough of this scent and it looks like it’s the 1st soap I’ll need to replace as I’m down to a third/quarter of a tub left. The scent lasts all day and every time I get a whiff of it it gives me a lift. The shave was close as expected from the blackbird and my Synbad knot is my new favourite synthetic.
One more day until the weekend!

A Very Appropriate Shave Tonight
with what’s going on with the weather just now.
A lovely bbs 3 pass shave
I haven’t used this soap in a good few months and i miss it,
it’s a wonderful aquatic scent with salt air, fresh & earthy.
The Alcohol free splash is top drawer & i don’t think there is many better balms out there,
Don’t get me wrong i know there is better balms but zingari man’s balms are right up there.

Another wonderful soap from RR. The scent was good but it's the lather...wow! Super easy, creamy, and slick mountain of lather...!
This free razor is similar to the DLC but antique-looking with good heft. Felt good in hand like a premium razor. Paired with this excellent underrated blade...a very enjoyable shave session. Just smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a mostly bbs finish. The aftershaves were good.

Brush: DG B11 Snowblivion
Soap: NO Lonestar
Razor: Wolfman WR3
Blade: GEM PTFE (3)
Post: Cold Water and NO Lonestar

Getting into the swing of using this razor, lightish touch and let the razor do the work (back to basics). Stuck to the same two pass for a nice smooth finish. I'm still on the fence with the head size but one thing I really really like about this razor is the handle. Nice weight to it and chunky enough to fit comfortably in my hand. If I do decide to go wolfman, even if it isn't one of these, then I think this would be the handle for me!

Hope everyone has a cracking Friday!

Cheers

Marc

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap

Soap: Proraso Green
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Dorco Titan (2)

I'm firmly of the opinion that there is no need for a pre-shave with Proraso. But it does up the menthol quota which is not a bad thing! The Titan felt tired after two outings for some reason, so I'll swap it out tomorrow.

Every once in a while you have a shave that is so smooth, you almost feel like checking to see if you slipped a blade into your razor. Such was this shave.
