Semogue Boar, Proraso, Tech, Elios, Witch Hazel, Nivea, Viet Fougere
Testing the Elios blade to see how I like it.First pass WTG then second XTG except for top lip area.The blade performed quite well,nice and sharp and smooth with zero tug.I don't mind it and at this point would have no issues with keeping this brand in my rotation although I have other blades to try.It felt way better for me than the Derby and I will try it out in the Yaqi OC and maybe in the Mingshi to see if it works ok in those.So,pretty happy with it initially.

You'll be needing one of these if you wish to achieve that particular feat:

And still tallow-based.

Yup, it's a time tested formula that is just tops in my book!!

Plus I just love all their scents (haven't tried lavender yet for some reason).

People often refer to Marlborough as an ash tray but I just love the Smokey/woodsy notes!

Agreed. Alas, with Marlborough, the signals from the olfactory sensors in my hooter are indeed interpreted as "ashtray" by my gray matter. Love their Sandalwood, WIndsor, and Arlington scents.

Pre-Shave: SebaMed, cold water
Razor: Guerrilla UFO Titan L
Blade: Ladas (1)
Brush: Tony Forsyth Platypus Prototype Bob Quinn Manchurian
Lather: Mystic Water Jeff's Lavender
Post-Shave: Alum, Thayers Original Alcohol Free Witch Hazel, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil​

Great shave today, the Guerrilla becomes certainly more aggressive with this handle and the Mystic Water lather was just wonderful.

I hope you all have a fantastic start into the new week

APR Ozymandias soap and splash / Paladin PK47 / Brass General with Feather AC Pro (4)

Lazy weekends growth easily dispatched with the General.

Wonderful scent of the APR Ozymandias soap and splash. Lather from the full puck is as expected, much easier than the sample size I tried earlier. Just sensational! Well done @todras and @nsavage ​

Oh, bummer about the Marlborough!

The almond is a very pure, bitter almond scent (not like the cherry or sweet almond Italian soft soaps. In case you haven't tried that one, it's also fantastic!
