@FluffyGroodle your Gillette Slim looks like R2-D2 from Star Wars and is does look pretty cool (y)

Rockwell R4 w/Polsilver
EJ silvertip fibre V1 23mm
SV felce aromatica
Nivea sensitive splash w/hyaluronic acid serum

I lightly loaded for just 15 seconds and still couldn't get enough water into the lather.
I reckon SV is the most efficient and economical soap in existence!

I don't think I'll repurchase the nivea splash...It's non alcoholic but basically feels like I'm splashing scented water.

I'll stick with the Anherb balm as my sole aftershave product.
 
PRE: Myrsol emulsion
razor: Seygus extrem with Astra Green
brush: yaqi sagrada familia
soap: Extro Arancia ?Italiana
splash: Beaver Woodwright Thomas Tew (now rebranded as Black Ship)

Nice shave but it is mostly a summer combo. Don't care much, but It won't be regularly around at least while being too cold.

Soap: Pb Puck No:1
Brush: Vulfix Travel
Razor: Black Hawk
Blade: Feather Pro Super
Still one of my favourite soaps. Definitely remaking this when it runs out. Haven't used the Vulfix for ages and it did a great job on the puck lathering. After 11 hours travelling I'm glad to be calling it quits for the night. @Arnold J Rimmer - struck out at the Cann River Antique shop:). Maybe try again tomorrow in Gippsland.
Fair bit cooler down here. First time I've pulled out a hoodie in a long time. @sealer just about wave at you from across the water.:watching:(y)

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Baum.be pre-shave gel
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus
Soap: Martin de Candre Fougère
Razor: UFO Goliath / ATT SE1
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (1)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion / APR Lavande violette spash
Scent: Caron Le 3' Homme

First use of the MDC soap. Very impressed. Lather was very creamy and persistent throughout the shave, and I loved the scent - what I'd describe as a nostalgic fougère. Three passes and a buff for a DFS+.
I did the sniff test through my splashes, and the one that jumped out as a good match for the soap scent was the APR Lavande violette. Likewise with the beautiful Caron Le 3' Homme EdT to finish.

Brush: Semogue 620
Soap: Arko
Razor: Fat Boy
Blade : Silver Star
Post: Protect and Care
So I happened across some Arko in Priceline for $4.95 and thought I should give it a go. The scent is not as unpleasant as I have heard some report, though nothing special. Lathered easily but lacked slickness which I really missed on the touch ups. All in all it works fine and good for travel.​
