It's powdery and bucking fabulous, apparently. Don't know the original Tom Ford scent but I liked the F bomb logo so pulled the trigger.

Great performance of this first trial of the PAA CK6 soap formula and a great scent on the stinging splash. Very happy camper and vshod customer.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: M&F Brad Sears L7 Tigris Finest Badger
Soap: Valobra Cologne
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: NOS Wilkinson Sword 'French Brown' (4)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, Musgo Real Aftershave Balm
Scent: Acqua Di Parma Colonia

Very close three pass shave. The lather from the Valobra soap was very slick indeed - a top shelf product in my book.
It provided excellent performance and paired well with the very sharp French Brown blade.
 
Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: @Tony Forsyth 2019 P&C Auction Custom Gold/Pearl Manchurian 2 Band Finest 24mm Shaving Brush

Razor: Gillette L1 Slim Adjustable (5)
Blade: Personna 'Lab Blue' (3)

Most appropriate soap and splash when heading to QLD? Well TEXAUS of course!

Didn't even realise that I'd used it earlier in the week ...

Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: JAWS
Blade: Rapira (1)
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: B&M Reserve Lavender

Tried a new blade today and was quite impressed. Reasonably sharp but super super smooth blade, left with nothing but BBS goodness. Not too sure on the boar yet either, been using it for a while but still not overly impressed, the sythn kills it for quality and ease of making lather. Not sure if its broken in or not yet.

Off for a day trip to LST. Fenchurch it was. Lovely shave.

The QF flight to MEL was cancelled last night so slumming on VA on the way down. Let’s see how that goes!
