Soap: Pb Grapefruit - Mentholated
Brush: Zenith Boar
Razor: Game Changer .84 OC
Blade: Dorco ST-301
Post: Jojoba Oil
AS: Pb Black Spruce
That's it for the Zenith. Going to have to call it a day and retire it due to massive shedding. Given it's lasted two years of travel and it was dirt cheap it has done well. I love both of my Zenith Boar's but both of them shed badly. Don't know if I'll chance another.

 

[StratMan]

Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: JAWS
Blade: Polsilver (2)
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Tabac Original
Post: A&E Signature Splash

Took the advice from @RazorPlay and tried the tabac with the Omega boar… what a difference, had plenty of lather to last me all three shaves and enjoyed the experience with the boar. Polsilver and JAWS didn’t disappoint.

Pre: hot shower
Brush: Wild West Brushworks "Amethyst Water"
Cream: Murphy & Daughters Old School Shaving Cream
Razor: Rockwell 6S R4
Blade: Polsilver (2)
Post: Stirling MITA balm plus quick splash of Thayers Lavender

My face has been on the receiving end of some acne recently, and i almost didn't shave today because of it. Its the sort that usually gets a decent slicing so i took it extremely careful today with 2 passes and ended with a respectable result and almost no blood in the troublesome spots. Was enough of a downer though to not be bothered taking a photo, sorry.

The cream was pretty much the same as yesterday, I don't think i'm a fan of the scent once its on my face, so will likely move through it as fast as possible.

Acne? I remember that, I think?

I have a friend who complains that she is struggling with BOTH acne and wrinkles and thinks that this is particularly unfair!

Sounds like not enough extra fatty to keep your chubby round face, that way you won’t have worry about extra old fart wrinkle.
