Soap: Pb Red Dwarf
Brush: Shavemac
Razor: Rocnel Elite
Blade: Feather (3)
AS: Barristers Reserve Spice
Woken this morning by a phone call from my son. He went to drive to work this morning and found his car in the neighbours driveway as a result of a collision from which the other mystery driver drove away. 'Sydney Life'? I'm just thankful he wasn't in it.
My nephew and his pregnant wife weren't quite so lucky, but still very fortunate, a couple of weekends ago when driving on the highway north of Dubbo and a P plater turned in front of them resulting in a head on from which everyone walked away!
Counting our blessings!

Glad to read that nobody was injured or worse. I swear with the restrictions slowly lifting more cars are on the roads and hence more accidents, as evident by the 2 I witnessed just this week alone involving 4 vehicles. Please take it easy on the roads people!
 
Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
Head: Headblade Moto
Face: Italian Barber Game Changer .84P
Blade: Perma Sharp (5)
Soap: Mikes Natural Soap Bay Rum
Bowl: PAA Travel Scuttle
Pre: Shower
Post: APR Bay City splash // Stirling Soap Co. Unscented balm // Phoenix & Beau Imperial Rum solid cologne

In need of a head shave I decided I would stick to using Mike's and see whether grating the solid puck down would improve the shaving experience as frankly yesterday's shave was a bit of a let down. The new formula soap felt less hard than the original formula so grated easily and I found that I required less water when lathering. Performance wise its still a good soap with nice slickness but I prefer the original formula and the lack of any real scent from the puck/tub or during lathering is a real let down. The opposite can be said for the splash and solid cologne which both smell really nice (slight edge to APR).

Shave wise the blade performed well with the GC as I walked away with a smooth and efficient shave, including a slight nick but that was more down to me chasing BBS than anything else. Looking forward to trying out some new hardware during the long weekend :) Happy shaves!

There are two? Didn't know that, pretty sure that there was only one when I searched. Maybe ask @Ozwhisker ?

That is pretty ordinary on both counts BUT such a blessing that there were no injuries in both cases.

Yes, you would also think that people have forgotten how to drive in the weeks at home. Don't just take it easy yourself though - watch out for others!

Yes, and I think the roo's are taking advantage of the reduction in COVID-19 restrictions and are on the move. Smacked one at full noise on Monday. Thankfully the work truck has a bull bar and all I had to do was readjust the driving light. Roo......not so lucky.
