Brush: RR 400
Blade: Rockwell (5, 6, 7)
Razor: Yintal Brass 5000s / Yaqi DOC + RR bamboo & Headblade Moto / Timeless Bronze SB
Bowl: Pereira's Unbreakable bowl
Soap: Mikes Lemongrass & Eucalyptus / EJ Menthol puck / A&G Soapworks Vanilla, Patchouli & Sandalwood
Pre: Shower + Washpool Face Cleanser bar
Post: Thayers Aloe & Lemon + Australian Lemon TeaTree cream

The last few SOTD. Love me some Mikes, the Rockwell blade certainly doesn't last more than 5 shaves as felt in the DOC :( The performace and scent of the V/P/S really works and I was undecided as too what splash/balm to use so stuck with the Australian Cream as a safe bet... Happy shaves!

Soap: Saponificio Varesino - Felce Aromatica
Brush: Omega 1900
Razor: Leaf
Blades: Voskhod (1)
(y) The Kai blade was a bit harsh on the skin yesterday, I probably should've gone setting 5 on the Fatboy. The Leaf provides good respite plus a good shave.
 
I chase the BBS hard, its my daily quest.. and every now and again i get this stupid idea to do all 3 passes as ATG, today was one of those days and although i have a little tiny bit of irritation it isnt as bad as it looks (bit red).. i knew it soon as i applied the splash.

I will never learn... but It is a super close shave though :)

Pre: Hot shower
Razor: Timeless 0.95 SB
Blade: Polsilver (1)
Brush: Yaqi Moka Express
Soap: Tabac

Super super shave this morning with the Karve C plate. Although the weather in Melbourne isn’t that cold yet, this is going to be a great soap to use when the temps drop. Lovely scent and complemented well by the Ozymandias splash.
 
Date:- 22 May 2019

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush:- Brush:- Edwin Jagger Synth. v2.0 Silvertip Fibre Faux Horn 25/58mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Wholly Kaw ~ Monaco Royale
Razor/Blade:- Razorock Mission / Polsilver Super Iridium #4
Post-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Natural Glycerin (20), Tea Tree Antiseptic (10), Lavender (15) & Peppermint (10 drops)
Fragrance:- N/A
 
DIY lemon myrtle pre shave oil
KarveD w/Polsilver
RR Bruce
SV Stella Alpina
Sacred Earth splash

I was in the mood for this soap so used it even though it was out of rotation.

Razorock plissoft brushes have taken a back seat these days but the way the knot is constructed makes it one of my best performers! And the handle is one of the most ergonomic I've ever used!

*that's not thayers. I forgot to remove that label*
