Thanks bud, it didn't go great..
Basically I'm doing testing that requires three blood samples and for me to be fasted, got one sample no problem but for the second we gave up after 10 pricks and have rescheduled.

Boo

Let us know if we can help, Mate. You're not that far away.

Monaco Royale was a great scent this morning .. more prominent than the prior two shaves but just as much lather. Nice way to end the week. Now for the weekend .. enjoy yours!

Razor: Colonial Razors – The General
Blade: Schick P-30
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Soap: B&M Petrichor
Post: B&M Hallows Splash, Aesop Balm

Very enjoyable shave this morning. My first use of the Schick blade went well, it seems sharp but without the bite of the Feather Professional. I’ll have to see how it goes after a few days of consecutive use though.

Friday 18th August 2017...

Razor: Timeless polished SSOCH .95 with UFO handle
Blade: SI
Brush: Simpsons D3 Manchurian
Soap: Saponifico Varesino 70th Anniversary
Aftershave: Derby City Chop Shop Small Batch Shave Tonic

"Inaugural shave with the Timeless.
Effortless and comfortable. Not aggressive but still efficient.
Prefer a lower profile head however..."​

 

[sealer]

Pre: warm water
shavette: The bluebeards revengewith Astra green
razor: Merkur 42cwith Astra blue
brush: FSmixt.
soap: Australian Private Reserve Winterfell
after-balm: The stray Whisker
after-splash: B&M Reserve cool

Definitely this Winterfell is a great winter fragance. I'll track it for next winter season, so I can say this time I have been half-enabled by TSW samples
the B&M splash is nice, but once done with the sample, I won't buy in its full size

Budget Manly Man


Razor: Colonial General with Windrose handle
Blade: Feather Pro (5)
Soap: Tim's Soap Signature
Brush: TF Amber and Ash Synthetic
Post: Alum + Pinaud Clubman AS + Dunhill Edition EdT

Thoughts...
- 3 day growth to BBS in 3 passes. Delightful Friday work and I highly recommend the post.
- In case I haven't said it before, I really like Tim's Soap base and this scent is a nice barbershop. Scent strength 4. Its no longer made, I think, but I'm glad I got it in a recent Stray Whisker sale.

3 pass DFS+. To my surprise got a couple of weepers and wasn't as close as usual although the lather was pretty good. Blade might be on its last legs...

Nivea Splash

Got a new Bulldog handle and i like the weight and balance much more than my previous heavy stubby handle. I've give from R3 to R4 with this handle.

The new evershave brush is awesome! I just love it!! I've got 4 of them and i couldn't be happier!

Enjoying this razor/blade combo.​

 

[Nightguard]

Brush: Vulfix Boar travel
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: English Wilky
Soap: Williams
A/S: Yardley Gentleman

In my experience Williams and Yardley are both excellent products alone or when used with other software. Together they turned my face into a burning red hell that took 2 hours to subside. Now that it has subsided I'm left with an excellent, BBS result.

Superspeed 1953
Gillette Super Stainless 1989
Nivea Sensitive shaving cream
Vintage Aqua Velva Ice Blue

A particularly pleasant and very smooth shave with barely any feedback from the alum bloc.

Together they turned my face into a burning red hell that took 2 hours to subside. Now that it has subsided I'm left with an excellent, BBS result.

A perfect occasion to use Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay rum... Put down that bottle!! Good God, I was only joking.

Brush: Simpsons PJ2
Soap: APR, SAA
Razor: Ever Ready, Streamline
Blade: Gem SS
Post: APR, SAA

Lovely leisurely weekend shave this morning.
I've had the Streamline for a while now and I'm loving the shave it gives every time I use it.
The APR is great, as always, and I'm looking forward to the spring release. Just can't decide which one to get, as always.

Have a great weekend, enjoy your shaves.
