Bowl: Pereira's Unbreakable Bowl
Soap: DG Y/R/P; Mikes Lemongrass & Eucalyptus; DG Trismegistus

Post: TSW balm

Hard to pick a winner as the soaps perform fantastically with Y/R/P my favourite choice for the scent :love: Surprisingly the blade pairs well with the 6S = smooth and very efficient... Almost out of TSW balm but plenty of other goodness to use up prior to making another purchase. Happy shaves!

Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave

Beautiful 3 pass shave. The Polish Super Iridium blade is unlike any other I have tried. It has a heck of a lot of blade feel, but gives a very close shave with no irritation. Excellent!

Sensational 2 pass with tiny touch ups on the 5 plate. Still going well with the Barrister & March Mann but the soap is getting less and less. Still no donut however, so after APRil it’ll be finished off in May.

Someone wants to say hi as well...

Great to be able to sit, not merely lie or stand, after hurting my back last week. A totally unproductive week with lots of catch up on now!

Great shave to start the week off though :)
