why is it the nights I put in a new blade I’m shaky mind you this razor still has me in its grips and not the other way around. Everything else was grand and I achieved a BBS shave, though there was blood! I keep managing to reduce a mole on my neck little bit by little bit
Ps the new proraso green aftershave is sooo soo nice once again I cannot fault proraso Happy days

Is it a new formula or a new bottle...anyone?

Just a new design bottle and the formula hasn't change

Brush: TF Customs Hybrid Mallee Burl Chameleon + 30mm Rhodium // Yaqi 30mm
Razor: Italian Barber Game Changer .84P
Blade: Feather (5)
Soap: Cella sample
Pre: Shower
Post: APR Escentials Restoration Serum // Stirling Soap Co. Unscented balm

Managed to achieve near BBS results using the Feather + GC .84P with Cella. Unfortunately I discovered some minor issues with the new brush requiring me to return it to @Tony Forsyth for further investigation. No hard feelings as these things can happen and I'm well aware how hard Tony worked to turn the brush as shown on his YT channel. I commend Tony for his professionalism and customer service as he was quick to respond, so here's hoping the root cause can be identified as the Hybrid Mallee Burl Chameleon style brushes are truly fantastic when paired with one of @Srdjan knots.
Luckily the misses was sympathetic with the situation so I've had Tony make up a second badger brush and hope to have it in the den next week ? Finished the weeks shaves with the trusted Yaqi 30mm tuxedo synthetic and whilst its a great knot its no competition for the Rhodium in performance or face feel... Take it easy guys!

Another great shave from the Wunderbar even though the GSB had lost its enthusiasm. Enough of this blade stretching nonsense. GSB binned.

Straight Razor Sunday
Pre: hot shower then hot towel
Soap: Wholly Kaw Project Leather
Brush: Semogue 730 HD Silvertip Badger
Razor: Gam by G A Merx Solingen
Post: Alum block
A/S: Witch hazel
EDT: Demeter pipe tobacco

Tonight was a no fuss two pass shave that proved to be 8/10 for comfort and closeness. Wasn’t sure about the Wholly kaw soaps fragrance at first but it just seems to get better and mellows nicely as the shave progressed.
