I look forward to shaving every morning and enjoy Saturday's straight shave even more
 
My first contribution to this thread!

A Saturday night shave means taking my time and tunes.

1958 Gillette toggle D1 setting 3
Stirling Executive Man
Razorock 400 Noir synth
Gillette Yellow 7'o'clock sharp edge
Stirling frost drops (3 drops first pass, added 2 more second pass)
Avon 'New World.

This is the first use of the frost drops. Was a bit mild at first but ended up nice and chilly. Don't effect the soap scent all that much. Need to find that sweet spot of amount added.

BBS effortlessly with the weekend razor.

A shave so nice, I did it twice!

Seriously, there is something soothing, comforting, centre-ing about a classic bay rum shave...

A highly enjoyable shave this morning using the Nacet and it really pairs well with the GC. Very smooth and close with no fear of nicking myself! I'm on a mission to use up soaps so will focus my attention on this tub as it smells nice and performs well... Happy shaves!
