Razor: Gillette Fat Boy (5)
Blade(s): Polsilver (3)
Brush: TF Lava Demon 26mm
Soap/Cream: SS "Scramble!"
Post: Dickinsons

Still trying to work out this brush .. I may have had it this morning in that I really need to not shed it of water as much as I do the Chubby 2.

The Scramble! is slowly converting me. The lather as with all the other Squadron Soaps I have in wonderful, and the scent seems to be settling somewhat (or I am just getting used to it).

Very nice shave, no nicks, no damage .. bliss!

Pre: Warm Coconut Oil
Soap: Pb Sweet Orange/Ylang Ylang
Brush: Zenith Boar
Razor: Brass General
Blade: Feather Pro Super (3)
Post: Jojoba/essential oil mix
The General did a brilliant job of negotiating this weeks mess. Tiny bit of weeping on yesterdays nick. This soap kept lapping up water like a thirsty dog. Lathered beautifully but the Ylang Ylang reminded me why this soap will only make an occasional appearance. Others have said they get 15+ shaves out of these blades. I can't see that it's got another dozen in it but we'll see how we go.

For me the great thing about this particular thread is that as I progress in this hobby I am seeing more and more razors, brushes and blades being used by you guys that I also own and use. Maybe it just means that I am fast becoming as addicted as you buggers!!!

Just on the PAA Cold Spices splash from yesterday. I went for lunch around half 1, and the lady at the canteen commented on it. So must have a decent sillage and longevity.

Today's Lavanille is just a brilliant deep, dark, sweet hug of a scent. Combined with a vintage PolAg blade in the Rockwell, really laid back end to the week.

Do you prefer the vintage polAg or the modern in the Rockwell?

Personally, i like the modern much more. I just get a closer shave with less effort.

Closer with the modern, but the vintage I find smoother. Preference is the vintage, whereas I like the Permasharp to get a closer shave.
 


Tabula Rasa 'Herbs' / TSW Synth / Frankenrazor : Gillette Tech Head with Ikon handle + fresh Feather / PAA ' Cold Spices'

Super Tabula Rasa lather and three smooth passes with the fresh Feather and very happy with the result. On with the "Cold Spices".

Inspired by @Korbz SOTD yesterday, I dug out my bottle of 'Cold Spices'. I had bought this in summer, thinking the "Cold" of the menthol would be just the ticket. Unfortunately, the strength of the scent seemed just a bit too much in the heat. For winter - it is perfect - the menthol adds a bit of bite and there is alum, aloe and rosewater in the mix. Not sure if these do too much, but the face feel is very nice (if a little bracing;)). Scent is very much old school "Old Spice' with great longevity as Korbz pointed out. Even now, some 8 hours later, I can get faint traces.

Happy Friday gents :cigar:... the weekend is here !​
