Brush: M7
Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
Blade: Wilkinson Super Sword
Soap: Wolfpac Silk Road
A/S: Euro Old Spice
An excellent first shave with the Wolfpac soap. Easy to lather, great scent and glide. Full review to follow tomorrow after the second use.
Classy shave ! I have the L'Orange Noir aftershave but not the soap...its a top scent, not too much citrus!
It's definitely top scent! And the soap is fantastic.

And yet 63 years later that President still did not retire. These vintage razors keep on surprising me.
I also have the Semogue 1250 and am currently my daily brush. I will buy 10 of them any day any time.

SOTOD:
Pre: Shower, Proraso Green Pre/Post
Soap: Speik cream
Brush: Omega Boar
Blade: Rapira Super Stainless (3)
Razor: iKon X3
Post: Alum, Myrsol Formula "C", TSW After Balm
The Speik cream was a little dehydrated on Tuesday, but the shave was pleasant nonetheless.
A small amount of irritation, which I could attribute to the lather being sub par, and maybe pushing the blade slightly too far.
Completely user error on both parts as I was in a little bit of a rush...
I thought that using a cream might be quicker and easier, but I should have stuck with something I was more familiar with.
The rest of the crowd performed as expected.

A better shave this morning. I had the day off due to some upgrades on the work vehicle so I had a more leisurely morning.
The MWF lathered up wonderfully on the puck, but no matter how much water I introduced on the puck it seemed airy.
Started painting on the face and it was quite evident that the lather was way dehydrated.
Introduced water slowly, and ended up with a terrific lather. It did take a bit of time, but was well worth the effort!
Needless to say, my shave benefited enormously from having a quality lather.
The blade was good, will need a couple more shaves to give a better indication.
As usual, the finishers performed well.

How long, O Lord? Will I forget my aftershave forever?
How long must I shave my face with this?
How long must I must I use a cartridge 'system' again
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my envy be towards the others with their SOTD pics?
