Nah, I had it revamped by North Shore Razors

So you supply the razor they do the rest ?

B&M 'Seville' / TSW Synth / EverReady 1914 / Gem SS (1) / APR 'Fresca' splash + EDP

Busy Saturday ... no time for a straight shave ... so next best thing - EverReady 1914 - a straight on a stick.

Lovely 'Earl Grey' lather from the Seville and three passes with the 1914 - almost as smooth as a straight

Hot morning with kids sport so the Fresca will do nicely - before the Sydney meet up later

Enjoy your Saturday ​

Yes, you just need to specify what colors you want. He sends a diagram of the parts & you decide the colors from the palette that sends out as well. You can also ask him what he has around his shop in terms of available razors.

SOTD 07/04/2018

Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
Razor: Timeless Bronze OC
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Scuttle/Bowl/Mug: Fine Lather bowl
Pre: Shower & BS face wash
Soap: Caties Bubbles Irish Coffee
Post: Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil & Nivea For Men creme

A late 3 pass shave after work and I'd forgotten how efficient the OC was as it easily mowed through my 2 days growth (like a hot knife through butter). A somewhat smooth shave with noticeable blade feel ATG/XTG but ended up with a DFS so no complaints really, bar a few nicks under the chin Love the scent profile of the soap and with a bit of elbow grease I managed to whip up a lucious lather which really helped the razor perform it's magic. Wishing you a lovely Sunday and many happy shaves!

It is so deceiving when you near the end of a soap. The ring of death just keeps going and going. Then one day, it's all gone and then you mourn while looking down into an empty container.
Don't wish too hard as your dream may come true.

So true, but I do have a backup of teh current generation. This might well be the last of the 'beta' soap around?

More importantly how does one function professionally without a mobile phone these days. ...

With GREAT difficulty!

[Snooze]

B&M 'Seville' / Chubby 3 best / GEM Jewel + SS Gem 2 / APR 'Fresca' / ADP 'Colonia' EDT

Summer just keeps rolling on... very warm and sunny in Sydney today ... so Seville, Fresca and Colonia lives on

Loads of lather with the big Chubby 3 badger - the GEM British made Jewel / Streamline is a very heavy, well chromed razor and gives a lovely SE shave.

Enjoy your Sunday guys ​

Slow Sunday shave. Mmmm. Excellent soap performance by the Shaver Heaven base as always. I'm not 100% sold on the scent but this was a very pleasant shave. I've given the Sweet Plum to my daughter before trying but the Arctic Mango (very lightly scented and mentholated) and Spiced Mahogany (sweet but a bit too perfumy for me) don't quite do it for me in the SH reboot. Nice but not the great experience I had with the Honey Ale. If you're on the fence I would get that one first.
