Quick two passes today but applied plenty of cream to my face before lathering up with just a teeny little bit of water. Slick enough but makes me certain that a soap rules over cream.

I'll have serious doubts that you will finish this before i finish my tub of TOBS. Man, did i scoop some out today...

 

[Pbgoose]

Soap: Pb MnM
Brush: Vie-Long Black Horse American Barber Style
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: Bolzano (2)
Post: Jojoba Oil
Initially I was thinking I wished I'd grabbed a Nacet instead of the Bolzano as I didn't think it was a match but ended up with a very nice shave to DFS+. MnM is a harder soap and takes a bit more work lathering but well worth it. The Mandarin takes centre stage but there's enough other stuff going on to provide interest and the Moroccan Rhassoul clay contributes nicely to a protective lather.

Omega boar
Sudsy Soapery - Sandalwood and Myrrh
Ogallala Bay Run and Sandalwood
Rockwell 6s (5)
Feather (7?)

Wow what a shave.
The Sudsy is the first out of the Travelling Box to go straight to my purchase list. The scent was light and subtle (probably would pick up a different one) but the lather was absolutely amazing. Super slick and really volumous. Post shave feel was good too.

Had never heard of Ogallala before but the splash was great, no burn and a nice spiced vanilla scent.

Leaf w/Polsilver
Yaqi Plissoft
Trigodon - Calm Seas
DIY lemon myrtle oil

Oh man, what an amazingly fast and efficient with the Leaf!!
I really love this razor! I can zoom around and not get any irritation and still end up with a BBS!

I must say, I'm quite the fan of plissoft knots (whether from Razorock or Yaqi, though the Yaqi has higher density).

An excellent alternative to standard carts!
