But did you have a winning shave this morning?

Last night, actually, Mate. .

No gamble with that line up - a guaranteed winning shave!

Absolutely @Mark1966....

Getting towards the end, it was an early favourite of mine, just spent some time waiting for a matching aftershave and cologne Not sure how early a batch this is -

And a timely posting by @Mark1966 - Hey @tim33z, please take note of instructions on label 'for external use only'....

But never fear - I have a backup ready -

Great soap. And I'm in the same boat, Agent 66, but also have a backup tub. @Kerry@Phoenix&Beau - love your soaps (have three); its just that us Shaving tragics tend to have far too many in the den; hence we take an eternity to finish a tub . Here is my tub:

Razor: Timeless scalloped 0.68 / UFO goliath prototype
blade: Feather #3
brush: BSB2 silvertip
Soap: DG TSM Fougere

First approach with a Full Sized DG. I was going for trismegistus, but was out of stock, so because I already had the matching splash of that....

SOTD 7.11.18
Pre - Hot shower
Brush - Razorock Big Bruce
Razor - Rockwell 6S (4)
Blade - Astra (3)
Soap - D.R. Harris Windsor
Post - APR Skye Fall

Super nice shave this morning, and even though it's a little chilly in Melbourne, I kept with the cold water only for the shave. Most warming part of the shave was/is the scent of the Skye Fall splash. Yummy.....

Koraat - The White Queen
D.R.Harris - Marlborough
Dovo - silvertip

Absolutely ballsed up the lather with this one by adding far too much water from the start (well actually, by not shaking the brush off enough). However, ended up with a stellar shave. I absolutely love this razor. Sorry for no pic.

Brush: Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo
Soap/Cream: Barrister Reserve Spice
