No real choice today as we commemorate Australia Day! In many ways this is the perfect name for a product being used today - Australians All!

We have done a bit of collaboration with Australians Together at work, worth reading some of their stuff on Australia Day too - https://australianstogether.org.au/discover/australian-history/australia-day/

This is a soap I’ve been itching to use since I received it, around early December, but my desire to finish what I was working on was too strong! So today it got used for the first time!

The scent from the tub is soooo nice! Makes me want to almost eat it like ice cream. Lathering up was easy with very small increments of water added for a super slick luxurious lather. Slickness was extremely high throughout. Post shave, before the serum was applied, I honestly felt like I could have forgone any post shave product. I don’t recall ever having that before.
About an hour after shaving, my face feels super soft and nourished. Amazing shave all round...

Final word:
Will undoubtedly keep this soap in my den!

Razor: Vintage Gillette L1 Slim (5)
Blade: Vintage Wilkinson Sword (1)
Post-shave: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Lightning Ridge splash
Fragrance: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Lightning Ridge EDP

Well the blade choice was easy this week as a hat tip to our new member. The soap/splash/EDP seemed very aprpopriate too given the smoke, then hail and now smoke again in Canberra. The pic is about as arty as I get, which ism not very! (The Culmak doesn't seem to like to play with the Simpsons)

Time for some injector love and a fougere shave. The bowl, brush and soap combo made enough lather for 6 passes after a 35 second load (the Reserve base needs plenty of water). The Schick had no trouble with 3 days growth. A three pass BBS shave with no nicks, cuts or burn. An excellent start to the week.

Pre: Glycerine soap
Bowl: Rover
Brush: Stirling Black Stripe 24mm Synthetic
Soap: B & M Reserve Fern
Razor: Schick injector "Schick 66" G4, (1949), chick blade
Post: Thayer's cucumber
Balm: Stirling Mountain Man
