Today's SOTD
Razor: Weber
Brush: M&F 1/1 Heritage
Blade: Schick (2)
Soap: Osma
A/S: Aqua Velva
First shave with the M&F, great little brush. The Osma too is a great soap, doesn't get much attention but it's right up there with Tabac and Mwf for ease of lather and excellent protection.
 
Brush: Omega 31025 Scarlatti
Soap/Cream: Johnny Goodsir
Razor: Weber
Blade: Rapira [2]
After-shave: Johnny Goodsir

Bring on the day, because this shave has me so ready. This Johnny Goodsir stuff is top shelf. Will add a longer review with photos separately.

Razor: Rocket HD
Brush: M&F 1/1
Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch

Great shave today, the little M&F is going great so far, turned the Haslingers into a perfect lather in a very short time.

…and how you liking the Haslingers mate?
 
Brush: Vintage butterscotch Simpson
Razor: Gillette L1 Slim - setting 6
Blade: P74 - shave 1
Soap/Cream: Mike's Natural Soaps - Hungarian Lavender
Aftershave: Lucky Tiger
Cologne: T&H Spanish Leather

With all the talk about how good they are it was time to rock the P74 I have thanks tp a very generous member here.

I was also tiring of the Pureman and switched to the Slim for my 4:45am shave.

OK, so my technique was way out on the first pass - rough and tuggy. Good my act together about 3/4 of the way through and the rest was uneventful. Smooth with a great result.

Finished with the LT and the old Spanish Leather - purchased from @Drubbing some time ago. A blast from the past!

Looking forward to shaving in the New Year with this ....
 
Brush: Smog 1305
Razor: R41 (2013)
Blade: PSS
Soap/Cream: Occams Lime
Aftershave: Myrsol Agua Balsamica w/- 444

Liking the R41 more with every use - it simply works! 1305 tolerable - maybe as I'm using it as a bowl latherer…and will remain so until it proves worthy of building lather on my face. @Occams , mate, another winner with the Limes (thanks PCTB2 (esp. @Mark1966 ) for the sample!)
 
Limes so popular he's out of stock on the website! But never fear my Christmas stash will have to come from Mensbiz.

How's it compare to the trumper limes stills?

Dang - I used my PCTB2 sample of Occams Limes this morning as well. It's a great lather and the natural lime scent smells so much nicer than the original.
 
I was the first recipient of the P&CTB2 however many moons ago that was, and just -refound my samples at the bottom of my travel toiletries bag last night. I might have to have a go with one of them over the weekend for a menthol break.

Mate I'd buy the Occams over the GFT everytime. Not only a fresher scent but a richer lather and far better ingredients. Happy to trade my GFT Limes with anyone who disagrees. I reckon properties of the Original are identical and the scent is growing on me. ...though I will buy a Lime once @Occams is back from holidays.
