Pre: Hot Shower, Pre shave oil (Nico's home brew)
Razor: Wolfman WR2, SB 0.95 Gap, WRH7 Handle
Blade: Feather
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk3
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Squadron Group Captains Blend
Post: Squadron Group Captains Blend Splash
WTG, ATG, touch ups with adjusted angles for my beard.
Enjoying this shave, everything came together nicely. First time the WR2 removed the whiskers on my trouble spots on the neck.
Unfortunately halfway through the shave received news my aunt passed away. I ended up rushing and manged a few weepers. :cry:

Pre-shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Wilkinson Sword Premium Brush
Soap/Cream: Barrister's Reserve Classic
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Premium Classic
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless [Green]
Post-shave: T.N. Dickinson's Witch hazel / Proraso Wood Spice Aftershave Balm

First time round with a Gillette blade, let alone a7 O'Clock Super Stainless [Green]. Not sure if it was the stubble length or the blade, but it was a great performer with only a minor scratch, though plenty of stinging from the Witch Hazel :eek:
 
SOTD 24th. RIP Elle.
Pre: Hot shower
Razor: RAW RS-10, Mild Plate
Blade: Feather
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk3
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Squadron, The Warden

On my return journey to DE/Wet shaving I have procured (Thank you P&C enablers) nice razors and enjoy using them all.
My favorite razor is the RAW RS-10. I could tell from the first use it was special. Effortlessly glides across the skin. I had to check on more than one occasion if a blade was loaded. The RAW just shaves so well for me.

 
Tried a new soap today, while the lather was lacking or different I guess would be the correct word, it was so slick. I quite like it, felt nice as after.

Pre: nice bath & goats milk soap
Razor: WieShie Nostalgic adjustable (setting 4)
Blade: Rockwell
Soap: Hemp OIl soap from Freshwater farm (now in Woollies and man it's a large soap 200gm) - Not a shaving soap but mah, what do I care lol, lathers easily, stays a bit airy but man is it slick.
Brush: Yaqi Marpat 2 band best badger
Post: Witch hazel with tea tree and traditional Bay Rum AS

Pre: Warm Shower, SV Bloom Water
Brush: Muhle Silver Tip
Soap: SV 70th Anniversary
Razor: Razorock Jaws
Blade: Polsilver Super Irridium (3)
Post: Proraso Sandalwood & Shea AS Splash, L'Oreal BarberClub AS Balm

Recently back from a couple of weeks working in NSW with only minimal shaving kit packed. :confused:
Good 3 pass and touch up shave back at home this morning. The "Jaws" with this blade gave me a smooth irritation free shave.

Have a Great Week All!​
