Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Yaqi Mysterious Space Tuxedo
Soap: APR Bombora (25th use)
Razor: Karve SS with SB/C
Blade: Gillette Vintage Spoiler (3)
Post: APR Bombora splash

Three passes and feeling fine. The lesser weight and size of the Karve handle is noticeable after the heft of the WRH2. The shave itself was effortless and post shave feels mighty comfortable.

 

[StratMan]

Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: Timeless 0.95 SB
Blade: Wilkinson Sword
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Tuxedo
Soap: Squadron – The Warden

Firstly I have to say The Warden is without doubt, for me, the BEST classic barbershop scent available. These blades continue to impress me, the Timeless + Wilkinson Sword combo is amazing.

Be careful with Tabac during summer season Fred, otherwise, she will tell you to rack-off

 

[Razor Burn]

Brush: Yaqi 30mm
Razor: Blackland Dart
Blade: Gillette Rubie Platinum (2)
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira's Destructible Shaving Bowl
Soap: Wickham Soap Co 1912 Citrus Musk sample
Post: Thayers Aloe & Lemon Witch Hazel // Jovan cologne // Vaseline Intensive Care Moisturiser

Another satisfying near BBS today. I find the Dart on par with the R41 & Timeless Bronze OC for blade feel and first shave in with the Rubie Platinum felt super smooth without compensating on efficiency. I managed a 3 pass shave with no irritation nor fear of butchering myself. Finished off with some musk goodness in the Jovan cologne spray... Happy shaves!
