Preshave: Proraso Green
Razor: Edwin Jagger De89 with Windrose Handle
Brush: Shavemac 177
Blade: Polsilver SI
Soap: B & M Ferox(Thanks @Draco Noir )
Post Shave: Fine Platinum
Sunday shave of the day was a three pass one. Sheer joy as the Polsilver mowed down the two day growth. The B & M Ferox is an excellent performing soap with a scent that I like but is interesting. Tea tree is evident when you open the lid but the citrus is prevalent while lathering. Great gobs of lather that takes plenty of water. Its so good to be shaving this way.

Pre: Face wash/shower
Brush: Simpsons Duke 2
Soap: Shaver Heaven, Drogon Noir
Razor: J.A Henckels 6/8
Post: D.I.Y Aftershave tonic and Natio maxium razor relief lotion

What an amazing shave today was. First of the Drogon Noir is an amazing soap, thanks @Anthony (I imagine all the S/H soaps are), It lathered amazingly with the 'Duke 2', the scent is very nice and not over-bearing. Secondly the razor is absolute dream to shave with, thanks @Mark. It sat comfortably in between my fingers, and at a perfect weight so the razor could do all the work, which was pretty much done after 2 passes . And to finish it of my D.I.Y aftershave tonic and the always great 'Natio lotion'. One happy chappy this afternoon

Many of us use Olive Oil or Argan or another oil post-shave (we just don't list it).

Here's the thread discussing this traditional Italian Post-shave technique.

Merkur 34C
Semogue SOC Boar
Feather Blade
Stirling Orange Chill

A nice cool shave for a warm evening. I can definitely tell that the effect of menthol wears off on you with prolonged use so I'm excited for the Glacial range to come out so I can snap them up!

Thanks @filobiblic

Thanks @filobiblic

It's an excellent addition to a post-shave routine. I regularly use Argan oil as its lighter and absorbs quicker. But other oils are also good.

I bought online via eBay from a store in the UK last year. I believe @Draco Noir also uses it and so he could provide a suitable local seller.

@SpeedyPC unrefined Shea Butter has also many followers, my brother swears on almond oil, castor oil... the list goes on. For me olive oil is so far the winner - just perfect for my skin.

I wouldn't search for any "products" - just try to get the pure unrefined/cold press/organic product

@alfredus could you please send me a list of product pure unrefined/cold press/organic product just to give me an idea, and I've already cold press of extra virgin olive oil in the kitchen for a start otherwise I'm totally lost

Thanks

Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori, 7/8​

Today I used this synthetic brush I restored last week by mounting this loft on a wood handle, therefore giving this nice synthetic loft a new life. I am happy with the result and I am glad I could restore it. In this shave I used my Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori giving an impeccable and very smooth shave as usual. Not only a beautiful work of art, but also a wonderful masterpiece with charming shading colors. Today I also felt using one of my favorite aftershaves - Floïd Blue - and it is a pity Colomer decided to discontinue this excellent product. By reading how many fellows wet shavers love this product, I cannot really understand why they are not making it anymore.​
