Haven't used First Canadian for quite a while and completely forgot how good it was. I used it very often last summer and it's more than half off so need to re-stock it at Maggards next time (and Stirling with Henri et Victoria).

I'd love to do that as well. Unfortunately recently I simply do not have time for photography at all. :( Moreover - I'll disappear for two weeks. Will be in WA with limited internet access. I promise I'll start posting again soon. It's just right now some hectic time. :(

Pre-Shave: Cyprusian Olive/Argan Oil soap, cold water
Razor 1st-2nd pass: Weck Sextoblade
Razor 3rd pass: Weber PH UFO Titan L
Blade 1st-2nd pass: Personna Hairshaper (7)
Blade 3rd pass: Ladas (2)
Brush: Paladin TSN LE
Soap: Stirling Bay Rum
Post-shave: Alum, Barrister & Man Kyovu Original, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil​

Better effort than last time with the shavette - but was it really comfortable? I am still not convinced. The lather was sensational (picture here) - this is one of my favourite scents and my wife said, it smells of Christmas in the bathroom :D

Gee mate, hope you recover quickly. Something for you and @TomG to get you both back on your feet -

Thanks mate, Ive taken tomorrow off to try and kick it. Dr advised (and I suspected) high viral load (cold) with secondary bacterial in the throat. Panadol, salt water gargles and plenty of rest. No mention of excluding inter-net use was mentioned specifically which I interpret as being fine to do during my convalescence!

Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Soap
Brush: Shavemac Americana D01 3 Band
Soap: Mystic Waters Sardinian Honey
Razor: Muhle R41 (2013)
Blade: Polsilver Stainless (2)
After-shave: Myrsol Agua de Limon

This new Shavemac is intriguing. It clearly needs a lot of breaking in (it's very scrubby - almost scritchy), but that actually makes me like it more. It doesn't give up all of its secrets on first use. And it creates a spectacular lather. The Sardinian Honey really is something special. I enjoyed the pairing with the Myrsol Limon. Delicious.
