Pre: Shower & Proraso white preshave cream
Soap: APR Lixviant
Post: Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil + Vaseline Aloe Moisture creme

A smooth, DFS with the Variant, the only let down being the blade as it struggled to shave my chin growth evenly :( Whipped up some super slick, creamy lather and I agree with @Nico regarding the scent profile - reminder of 'church candle incense' which is really nice :) Might have another shave tonight to touch up the spots I missed before I go to bed...? Happy shaves!

Pre-Shave: SebaMed, cold water
Razor: Guerrilla
Blade: Ladas (2)
Brush: Nathan Clark Envy White
Lather: Mystic Water Bergamot, Cedarwood & Juniper
Post-Shave: Alum, Thayers Original Alcohol Free Witch Hazel, Australian Emu Oil​

I had a very busy schedule today and therefore a bit of a rushed shave. The first couple of passes were horrible and I was putting it on the blade and was about to dump it. Well then I realised, I hadn't properly closed the Guerrilla...shaves should simply not be rushed.

The rest of the shave was smooth as always with this razor/blade combo - but the damage had been done already and my face felt very raw afterwards.

On the other hand it is always great to find such fantastic brushes like this Nathan Clark creation in the "2nd row" of the cabinet. It has tons of backbone and whipped up a wonderful Mystic Water lather - yet the tips are so silky soft.

I hope you all have a great start into the new week (y)

A quick 2 pass 'touch up' shave resulting in a BBS finish but some irritation around the neck :banghead: I won't be doing 2 shaves in the same day that's for sure! As for the soap, no skin reaction and don't mind the fruity scent - thanks @lerenau :) Have a great Monday guys!

I forgot they also sell a Baili TTO as the Quickchange,as well.It makes sense that the Chinese would make razors that actually are usable,as there are so many that use them there.If they last 5 years then they still work out as great value.

Yeah I noticed the quick change too. The tech clone shaves really nice for a $l razor so cheap!

I wish I had this as my starting razor a decade ago!!

Pre: Pb Pre Shave Emulsion
Soap: Mike's - Barber Shop
Brush: Shavemac
Razor: Colonial General
Blade: Feather Pro Super
Post: Jojoba Oil
AS: Pb Bay/Lime
Bit heavy handed this morning with couple of weepers paying for DFS. Tad early for 'froating bowl technique'. Warm lather didn't seem quite right.
 
Pre: jojoba oil
Rockwell R2 w/Polsilver
TurnNshave quarter moon tuxedo fan
Musgo Real soap
Anherb balm

Went with the 2 plate as I wanted a milder shave, it was a bit too mild and I couldn't go beyond DFS.

The Musgo scent is just so classy!!
I can't believe this soap didn't get any attention considering their creams are highly regarded.

Anyway, there are rumours the soap is discontinued so grab it while you can! I've got one puck in reserve so I'll have sufficient Musgo for about 50 years in my rotation!!

A fantastic, refreshing post work BBS shave in the shower with R6 plate. Super smooth with only one minor nick on the chin, otherwise a trouble free shave! My fav plate is R4 but tonights shave might've changed my mind... ;) Have a great Tuesday and happy shaves :)
