Pre: Pb PSE
Soap: Pb Gilleán
Brush: 20mm Master Badger
Razor: Timeless Bronze OC
Blade: Vintage French Nacet (1)
AS: Pb Black Spruce
The world looks and smells very different after some rain. :)
The Timeless performed brilliantly as expected and if enabling awards can be awarded retrospectively then @Razor Burn
gets a nomination for lending me his some time back. Smooth and efficient was the order of the day with a BBS result. I was hanging out for a straight razor shave today but the Timeless was calling me and didn't disappoint.:) Black Spruce works well with Gilleán - bonus.

A great combination mate - the Timeless, your awesome soap, a badger brush and the bloom bowl. Well done! (y)

Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira Shavery Lathering Bowl
Soap: APR Suitably Attired Australian LE

A quick head/face SOTD with the Leaf using 2 half blades and not as close as normal so I'll stick with the full 3 half blades. Still smooth and comfortable, thanks largely to the lather from the soap. Finished off with the Serum for another happy shave!

PB Goose's Spiced Orange
Blackland Vector + Schick P30

Wow, blades really do make the difference sometimes. I had only used some Kai Captain Mild blades before and didn't partivularly enjoy the shaves. Switching to the P30 was a revelation. Smoother, more efficient and a great experience all round. Two passes with no irritation whatsoever.

I would also like to thank @Pbgoose for sending me this sample. Whilst I slightly over hydrated the soap, the slcikness and protection were top notch. As for the scent. Slightly more spice forward than Nordost, in my opinion. I could pick out cardamon and cinnamon in particular. The orange was definitely there, but in the background. I really enjoyed the scent, but would probably prefer to use it during the colder months. Thanks again PBGoose.​
 
Pre: Warm Shower
Razor: 73 Black Beauty
Blade: Polsilver
Brush: Yaqi 24mm mew brown knot
Soap: APR La Violetta
Post: APR La Violetta Splash

Tonight I danced with my black beauty. After the weeks facial assault I thought a nice mild shave was in order. Originally was going to grab the DE 89 with a feather but last minute went for the 73 super speed and set it to a mild setting of 6 for the duration of a traditional 3 pass shave.

What a shave!!! Practically have hit BBS with a mild shave, is this even possible???? Is it the black beauty? Or did I learn something?
