Good evening everyone, I hope you're all well.

Pre- Cold water splash
Soap- Signature Soaps Britania
Brush- Yaqi 26mm Timberwolf Synth
Razor- Rockwell 6S (R2)
Blade- Gillette 7 O'clock Permasharp #8
Post- Cold Water Spash, Osma Alum Block
Balm- Barts Peppermint Oil

A great face cooling shave with the excellent Signature Soaps Britania. Just what is required on a hot sunny day.
I'm surely tempted to get a bottle of Alcolado Glacial splash but as soon as I do I guarantee the good spell of weather will end.

Have a good rest of the weekend and stay safe.

Surely a bottle of Pernod to match the soap fragrance cooled in the glass with ice

A Wedding Anniversary shave; my good lady picked out an old bottle of Chanel Égoïste for me so I paired it with Alphy & Becs Sandalwood & Vanilla (soap and balm), Alpha Outlaw G4 synthetic brush, Leaf razor with three half blade Gillette Wilkinson Swords, we're off out for a meal, and the Leaf which arrived an hour before the shave worked very well on the face.

Sunday, 9 August 2020

PreShave: Warm to hot water, most from the boiled kettle some from the tap
Cream: OSP Vintage
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled T&H cream bowl
Razor: Muhle r41 (thanks to @PaulL's generous PIF)
Blade Astra Platinum (2)
Post Shave: Alum

Fragrance: Floris JF

Probably didn't need to use the r41 today, after yesterday's shave; but it would have been hard to put away and not play with a new toy. Again, I took care, and had a nice 2 pass close shave. My confidence with the scythe is increasing. Have a good Sunday folks.
