Pre: Dindi Natural*
Rockwell R4 w/Polsilver
WSP Silvertip
Washpool Farm - Bergamot, Cedar, Patchouli
Anherb balm balm

*this oil is sold as an aftershave oil from Dindi Natural but it makes a great pre shave oil and that's what I use it for.

Have been in the mood to use the badger brush since taking it out of storage so I'll be continuing on with it for a few days.

Pre: Warm water
Razor: Rockwell 6S (R4)
Blade: Polsilver SI (1)
Brush: The Stray Whisker Silvertip
Cream: TOBS Eton College
Post: Imperial Leather Aftershave Lotion

First use of the famous Polsilvers! I've honestly never had such a fuss simply taking a blade out of a wrapper, probably due to my half-asleep Sunday morning state. But during the shave itself it felt very sharp and smooth, if they last me a long time then I think they'll be a real winner for me. Curious to try them in both milder and more aggressive razors now.

Enjoy your Sunday all.

Very nice shaves. Enjoying the F2 base a lot.
 
Pre Shave: Warm water. Crew pre shave oil
Razor: Fatboy (4)
Blade: Astra green (2)
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk1
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: APR Skye Fall
Post: Witch Hazel, APR Skye Fall Splash.
The Skye Fall soap lathered up easily, thick and slick. Two passes and a touch up for a BBS. No irritation what so ever, even after shaving against the grain. (y)

The Fatboy just feels nice in the hand, looks and shaves great. Not bad for a 60 year old razor.
 
Razor: SS General
Blade: Schick P30
Brush: Maseto Beehive
Soap: Haslinger (Sage)
Splash: APR Skye Fall
Scent: APR Skye Fall

2 pass XTG, no nicks/cuts/weepers.

I toyed with the idea of lathering up the Skye Fall but decided to save it until I've cleared out a few more soaps..... I did use the splash and EDT though :)

As big as my nose is, it doesn't provide me with enough gossip to have a lengthy yarn about the intricacies of the Skye Fall formulation.... all it gives me is enough to say "yes" or "no".

...... fortunately, the nose said "yes" and all was good in the world :)

Rockwell 6S R3 w/ Polsilver (4)
Yaqi Tuxedo
B&M Reserve Spice Soap
TSW After Balm
Old Spice Aftershave (Indian Rubicon version)

I was lucky enough to score some bottles of Old Spice aftershave from India. These smell a lot closer to the scent of the Reserve Spice soap. To me they seem identical. I'll PIF the second bottle here in a week or so when I'm have some more time, if anyone is interested in some old spice.
