Pre-shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE Platypus
Soap/Cream: Santa Maria Novella shaving soap
Razor: Darwin Standard
Blade: Vintage NOS Wilkinson Sword 'French Browns' (5)
Post-shave: Santa Maria Novella Tabacco Toscano after shave lotion
Fragrance: Miller Harris feuilles de tabac EDP

It was about this time that I started to wonder about the SMN Tabacco Toscano I'd helped my wife to buy during the Mensbiz sale earlier in the year. Seems we had both forgotten about it and my birthday in March will see its appearance!

No shame using the Miller Harris though.



Hey @rlroadie2004 - can Alexa come to my house when you are done?

Unless you give him your original vintage Darwin razor @Mark1966, @rlroadie2004 would be very happy to help you

Razor: 2013 Muhle R41
Blade: Astra SP
Lather: Soap Commander

FINALLY used some soap on my vintage brush and shaved with my Muhle R41 without nicking myself. I guess I need to improve my technique better.

Soap: Pb Phoenix
Brush: Zenith Boar
Razor: TI Flower Pattern
I think the boar brush works better with Phoenix than horse hair. The Zenith is one of my favourite brushes for face feel but it loses about 20 hairs/use so not destined for a long life.

Brush: Ever-Ready 100
Soap: Palmolive
Razor: Treet
Blade: Treet
Post: Nivea

Its going to be hot, stay in the shade​

That is one interesting looking razor! Do you know roughly what the year of manufacture is?

I think these were made in the 1930s at the same time as the Gem Junior, which is basically a 1912 and can be found with the same baton handle. The only difference is the Treet has the closed comb.

Nice TI

Thanks, it is a really nice razor, takes a nice edge, and shaves beautifully. I was begrudging the purchase a little when I bought it from a closing sale as I was slow pulling the trigger on the razor I wanted and missed out and bought this one instead. This one reminds me every time I use it what a good purchase it was.

Ahh, thanks @Sticky , was wondering about that. I couldn't remember seeing that one before.
