Pre: Coconut Oil
Soap: Pb Artemisia
Brush: 26mm TF KBBB (Kryptonite Burl Badger Boar)
Razor: Boker King Cutter
Post: Jojoba Oil
When I used the Boker the other day I thought it wasn't quite up to standard so I put it under the scope last night and thought no wonder the shave wasn't up to par, it was as rough as a saw blade. Time for a rehone. Much better shave this morning and enjoying the freshness of Artemisia. Home shave:joyful:

Absolutely mate but the soap is currently out of stock

Warden Soap

The splash is amazing and a must have if u love the barbershop scent, very long lasting also

The warden splash

All Aussie made, worth emailing @SchoolForAnts he is the local artisan, who would be able to let u know when back in stock.

Soap: Pb Drachenblut
Brush: 20mm Master Badger
Razor: Game Changer OC .84
Blade: Polsilver SI (2)
AS: Barrister's Reserve Spice
Dragons Eye - Collaborative Reproduction by StormBolt XD and Grandma
First use of the Game Changer OC. Suitably impressed. I was hoping it would sit in between the Gillette New LC and the Fatip Piccolo and it does. Very comfortable and efficient.

Brush: RR Boar
Head: Oneblade Moto
Face: Rockwell 6S (R6 plate)
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (2)
Pre: Shower + Nivea Face Wash
Soap: Squadron Soaps Warden
Post: Squadron Soaps Warden splash // Proraso white balm

A quick pre-Meet Up SOTD. Managed to nick myself in the usual spots. The boar needs some more breaking in as its not holding as much lather needed to last the whole shave and I prefer the R4 plate as it offers less bite. All in all another happy shave! Off to see the CBR crew :)
 
Rockwell 6C@R6 w/Polsilver
EJ STFv1 25mm
Sudsy Soapery - Citrus Bay
Vitamin E oil

Brilliant scent! I can't use bay rum as the rum & clove burn the daylights out of my skin so the fact that this soap is much more bay than citrus makes it very enjoyable for me!

WTG, ATG, touch up with adjusted angles for my beard.

My first use of Stirling soap was a good experience. Loading the brush was easy, whipping up a lather in the bowl was a breeze. I found the soap slick and cushioning was also good. No question, this is an excellent soap and fragrance. (y)

Brush: Vulfix 403 Pure Badger
Razor: EJ 89
Blade: English Wilky
Cream: Pure by Gillette
A/S: Floid Black

Picked up the Pure by Gillette cream at woolies this morning. Good product for what it is, a mass market cream aimed at cartridge users. Lathers with ease, pleasant scent similar to Nivea and a very nice post shave feel.

I wonder how both razors compare against each other side by side the Game Changer Open Comb 0.84mm vs the Game Changer Jaws 0.84mm ?????

I’ve read differing opinions. An OS forum suggested they were the same but Vshod says the Jaws is more aggressive than the OC, which is why I went with the OC as I wanted an OC sitting between the Gillette New LC and the Fatip Piccolo. I’d be interested in hearing from someone who could compare the Jaws to the Fatip Piccolo.
