Pre-shave:- Hot towel
Bowl/Scuttle:- Before/After scuttle
Brush:- Waterford Badger
Soap/Cream:- Pino Silvestre
Razor/Blade:- 6/8 G Johnson
Aftershave:- Myrsol Forula K

Too bad they discontinued the Pino, it rocks with the Special K. Gotta say I love that razor, special scales and so old that the Duke of Wellington could have shaved with it.

They discontinued the Pino????

They discontinued the Pino????

From my research it seems so. Replaced with a foam by the look of it. You can still get everything but the shaving soap. Although the aftershave seems hard to come by in Australia.

It was fantastic for the price, great cushion and slick. It also goes great with the K. Menthol land. Luckily I grabbed 1 ages ago and only just opened it.

[Mark1966]

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: Vintage butterscotch Culmak Shaving Brush
Soap/Cream: Stirling Soap Co Bay Rum shaving soap
Razor: Vintage Gillette 'Fatboy' (7)
Blade: Vintage Gillette Super Stainless (1)
Post-shave: Stirling Soap Co Bay Rum splash

Different razors are different - I blame this for slicing myself on the chin as I brought the Fatboy up for the next section of my first pass. DUH! rookie error ...

The Bay Rum let me know about it at the end !

[Razor Burn]

Brush: TF Custom 2019 P&C Charity Shades of Blue and Gold Tuxedo
Razor: Italian Barber Game Changer .84P
Blade: Bic Chrome (3)
Soap: Mikes natural Soap Bay Rum
Bowl: Mrs @Nico shave bowl
Pre: Shower + PAA Cube mentholated
Post: APR Bay City splash // TSW After Balm
ATG, XTG, WTG = near BBS

I was in a super rush so no pic but still managed a really enjoyable pre-work shave this morning. The Bic pairs well with the GC .84P with great smoothness and efficiency. I have adapted my thoughts regarding Mike's newer soap base as the last few shaves have been super slick and awesome post shave feel but still disappointed as the scent is quite mild from tub and during lathering...?
Finished off with some Bay Rum goodness and the soothing balm... Happy shaves!
