Soap: Pb Mirrors & Smoke
Brush: Zenith Boar
Razor: Bengall
Cracker of a shave with the Bengall. The Zenith used to be a favorite til it became a 'shedomatic' but I still can't help but to pull it out occasionally, it was such a nice knot.
The Jacaranda used to be a regular stage for shaving photos but it's feeling a little worse for wear post surgery which was necessary for the reno. Probably should've cut it down but we just couldn't bring ourselves to do it. It gets some revenge by filling our gutters with leaves. :)

The Morning Shave.
The Treet 7 Days Platinum was in my 1961 Gillette Adjustable FatBoy today.
This was 4th shave on this blade, I forgot to mark the blade wrapper yesterday, so my dice still has a 3.
Very comfortable daily shave. Really liking the Treet 7days. An excellent daily blade.

Palmolive Lather Shave - is another budget cream. Usually $3 Aus. It has a light spicy scent quite mild almost neutral. A tiny amount produces a creamy lather enough for a full head & face shave.

Finished with Brut, beautiful musky spicy scent.

SOTD Monday 12 August
  • Razor Gillette British Rocket FlareTip
  • Blade Tiger Platinum (Check Republic) (1)
  • Pre-Shave Tricare Goats Milk
  • Brush Synthetic
  • Soap Wilkinson Sword – Blue
  • Post Shave Nivea Sensitive Pro Moisturiser
  • Aftershave Brut Splash

The Morning Shave.

The Tiger Platinum was in my 1950’s Gillette British Rocket FlareTip today.
Tiger blades come double wrapped, a plain wrapper inside the outer envelope wrap.
A very smooth shave, the Platinum coating ensures no tug or irritation.
I did get 1 very minor red spot, after the second pass and clean-up this had gone so not a weeper.

Really like the Wilkinson Sword scent, fresh citrus dense lather but it does need another minute to whip and create the glossy look.

Finished with my daily go-to Brut, love this spicy scent.
