Brush: Zenith Boar
Razor: EJ 89
Blade: Personna Red (5)
Soap: MWF
A/S: Pinaud Clubman
 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Paladin Lotus Select Badger
Soap: APR Fenchurch
Razor: Wilkinson Sword "Sticky"
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (3)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel / Myrsol Emulsion
Scent: APR Fenchurch EdP

First shave with an APR soap with the new base. First impressions are relatively fast loading, and thirstier than the previous base. Very slick indeed, and outstanding residual slickness.
Love the Fenchurch scent - another dark and foreboding concoction from @todras - perfect for winter.
Also my first shave with the Paladin brush. A bit "tight", as you'd expect with a new brush, but soft tips and a lovely handle. A quality bit of kit.
Finished with the APR Fenchurch EdP. Has the same vibe as the soap, but with a vibrancy and sharpness that balances the dark notes beautifully. It reminds me somewhat of Caron Yatagan, with a wild animalistic opening, mellowing to a dark musky dry down.
 
Razor: Vintage Gillette 'Fatboy' Adjustable (5)
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Super Stainless (6)
Brush: Vintage butterscotch Simpson 'The Duke'
Soap/Cream: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Fenchurch shaving soap
Aftershave: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Fenchurch splash
Aftershave: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Fenchurch balm
Fragrance: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Fenchurch EDP

Such a great combination. Even on less than 4 hours sleep I can make a decent lather - Lather Shots

Pre: Pb Pre Shave Emulsion
Soap: Soap by Luna - Fauno
Brush: Vie Long Horse/Badger
Razor: Rocnel Elite
Blade: Voskhod (2)
Post: Jojoba Oil
AS: Pb The Black Spruce
Found another home for the Voskhod blade. It works very well in the Elite, not as comfortable as the BIC but provided a fine shave. It's nice to have some Soap by Luna in the rotation. Very nice lather.

Semouge 830
AP Reserve Ozymandias Soap/Balm/Splash/EdP

Man the boar hair brush must suck up so much more water then the Tuxedo. I had to use a heap of water thismorning. I gotta say I am finding the boar a bit of an effort to get a lather going compared to the synthetic tuxedo.

The Slim Adjustable revamp was done by North Shore Razors in Hawaii. You can select the colors you want for each section based on what's available on his color palette. Check his site out since he sometimes has stuff already available (y)

Rapira Plat Lux were almost a perfect fit in the elite as well. Almost as good as the feather. Most others had to be encouraged I found :)
