This morning I finished working my way through the four ⅝ SRs of my seven-day T.R. Cadman "Bengall" set. Tomorrow I'll start on the final three of the ¾ SRs.

full

I have another ⅝ Bengall on its way to me. Once received and honed up, it will replace one of my ¾ Bengalls. I will then consider converting that ¾ from a Dutch to an American point.

Dutch points are too easy to shave with. My life needs challenges.

For a few hours post shave FMOM has this wonderful burnt peanut brittle smell with a strong cappuccino on the side and then dries down to what I refer to as stewed celery smell. Might be the Geranium it was never my favourite smelling plant. Many people around my old neighbourhood in Adelaide had it growing up the stobie pole.

Glad you are catching up and are now aware of stobie poles @Gargravarr, I have lots of friends from ADL and they have such special memories of them - an Aussie institution

Pre Shave: Hot Towel
Brush: Dubl Duck Boar #4
Soap: Declaration Grooming Big Energy
Razor: 1950's Gillette Ball Tech
Blade: Astra
Aftershave Balm: Declaration Grooming Big Energy

Last night's shave was a bit of a P&C special order. Brush thanks to @Holiday and Declaration Grooming thanks to @Markyv

The Ball Tech gave great feedback but it wasn't as smooth as the Rocket to use but then, it had had an Astra blade and not a Feather like the Rocket.
 
There are a few in WA too, though of course the usual preference there is for jarrah...

Yeah, but more quintessentially ADL.

BTW - what would Lady Branknell think of your new found knowledge?

How good is FMOM :love:
 
As someone from Adelaide, I can attest to having special memories of Stobie poles. I remember putting my XR6 into one back in 2014

Yep!

Whether bikes or cars they are pretty unforgiving!
