A nice Father's Day shave with a gift from the girls.
Pre-shave: Maca Root & Aloe Calming Icy Shaving Gel
Bowl: Limited Edition P&C 2019 Auction Grey Bowl by Avalon Pottery
Brush: Body Shop Synthetic
Soap: Maca Root & Aloe Softening Shaving Cream
Razor: Razorock JAWS OC - Radio Knob Handle
Blade: Polsilver #9
Post-shave: Maca Root & Aloe Post-Shave Water-Gel For Men
Smooth irritation free shave with the Body Shop Maca Root and Aloe products. A nice scent if you don't mind smelling like a mentholated cactus.
The polsilver just wont give up it's edge. 2 weeks and no drag. May be attributed to the efficiency of the razor.

Not sure what @tim33z "The Shave Man" is doing recycling Instagram posts here for the SOTD thread as if we are mere second class citizens getting his scraps ;)

Since when is that a thing? Should we all be doing it? How? Why?

All the cool kids can do it with the right know-how!! But if this is sacrilegious then I will do better tomorrow!

True reason is the filters are better than on my iPhone and to save time re-typing my thoughts...

Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: Timeless 0.95 SB
Blade: Polsilver (1)
Brush: Yaqi Sythn Mysterious Space
Soap: B&M Lavender
Post: APR Florian

Cant say enough about the B&M reserve soaps, might of become my new #1. The Timeless, Polsilvers and B&M combo with a traditional 3 pass shave delivered a smooth, effortless and comfy BBS.

Love the B&M Lavender + APR Florian combo... amazing!!

Brush: Yaqi 30mm
Razor: Blackland Sabre SE
Blade: Gem (1)
Pre: Shower + Nivea Face Wash
Soap: Grooming Dept. DiA
Post: Old Spice splash

The long awaited first shave with the SE and first impressions are great. The Sabre is a well machined SE with a unique thread design, allowing for the Gem style blades to slot in easily. I didn't notice any blade allignment issues as the round blade tabs on the end make loading the blade somewhat fidgety. The matte finish resemble's the Dart DE and it has a flat cap which I found really helpful for perfecting the correct angle. I took my time with each pass as I was expecting a bitey shave but going on today's results I'm fully satisfied. 2 quick passes easily mowed down 4 days growth :) Overall a very enjoyable shave and I look forward to testing it out a few more times before I send it back to its generous owner @Pbgoose (y) Happy shaves!

Finished off the last of the Floid Black, great product but not the scent for me. Won't be replaced.

Yeah - I get you, Mate. It seems to be aimed at the younger market, with similarities to the oft-cloned Creed Aventus.
I don't mind it, but much prefer their classic 'Mentally Vigorous' original.
