DIY lemon myrtle oil
KarveD w/Polsilver
FS "pur-tech" STF 26mm
B&M Latha
DIY lemon myrtle oil/Anherb

I really enjoy the latha line of soaps. I currently have original and lavender remaining in my den.

The brush is a "chubby" version of the muhle STF and it's fantastic!! Very unique in face feel and action.

Their pur-tech is the STF fibre supplied by muhle so it's literally the muhle STFv2, just constructed differently by FS.

Five was pushing towards uncomfortable DFS with this blade. Working a bit over 100 ks from Canberra today which is unusual (not my territory). Noticeably colder.

not a good shave today.. changed three things and not sure where i went wrong, could of been a combo of either.

left out the WTG pass, put stock handle to R41 back on and went into this with more confidence than needed.

Fist pass XTG felt amazing and was really digging the lighter handle.. Was flying around like i had a DE89 in my hands. Second pass ATG i saw some blood and final touch up/ATG i saw more and bit of redness.. applied the splash and yep lit up red with a touch of soreness.. Burn is no way near as bad as i expected but it is there slightly

but i tell ya's what... its the bloody closest BBS of my life (y):)

Well it's July now meaning my self imposed shaving exile to "Just use it June" has ended. It's been an interesting few months predominantly using one soap for the whole month.

But enough of that, I'm back baby and as it so happens the travelling box has coincided nicely.

First cab off the rank:

APR Fenchurch soap and splash.
Omega boar.

A very delightful shave, having used the APR base before I knew what to expect but have wanted to try the Fenchurch for ages. I can safely say that it's a great scent but not my first choice.

2 passes for a DFS. All in all a great shave. On to more adventures.
 
KarveD w/Polsilver
EJ STFv1 25mm
MWF stick
DIY lemon myrtle oil/Anherb balm

No pre shave oil that as I felt my skin was moisturised sufficiently.

Excellent BBS was the result of this magnificent combination.
