You will have to pardon my ignorance or innocence. I assumed the Corona with Kiwi fruit was some new trend like lime wedge in Corona's :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Razor: WR2 1.25
Blade: Polsilver
Brush: Yaqi Pony Knot

What an amazing shave!!!

The feather in this razor is an excellent match, but for me the Polsilver is king. Your basically sacrificing a little sharpness for an even smoother shave.

Brush: Yaqi 30mm
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Gillette Nacet (4)
Soap: PAA CaD
Pre: Shower = PAA Cube
Post: RR New York splash balm // APR Escentials Restoration Serum // Stirling Soap Co. Unscented
WTG, XTG, ATG = DFS

Another satisfying pre-work shave with some neglected gear. I really enjoyed the mildness from this razor and shorter handle works well but no matter the amount of buffing I'm always left with spots on the troubled areas :(
The soap performs well with a powdery babershop scent that I don't mind. Finished off with the splash, serum & balm... Happy shaves!
 
Merkur 42c
Personna Lab Blue (2)
TF P&C Platypus 26mm fan
Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad Cream
Imperial Leather A/S

A lovely 3 pass BBS. The scent of this A/S has grown on me for some reason. Thanks again to @TomG for the PIF - as well as the blades, which continue to work very well for me but only in this razor...

Great stuff, Mate. Glad you are enjoying them.
 
Pulled out one of my first soaps and razors for the first time in a while.
34c is always a solid performer, mild yet smooth and gets the job done with ease.
Conk doesn't get a lot of love compared to the wonderful artisan soaps most of us enjoy but I still love the almond scent and I can consistently get a great lather from it. It was good enough to be one of the products that got me hooked on this as a hobby after all.
