Razor-Qshave (4)
Blade-Gillette spoiler
Brush-Razorock 400 noir
Soap-Stirling MITA
Aftershave-Vintage Avon Tiki Tai Winds Cologne version

Lively shave with care being taken as this razor can bite you. Nothing better than a bit of menthol with the sun out and Avon Cologne will last 12 hrs.

Last few shaves

Brush: Alpha Shaving Brushes T-400 24mm Silvertip
Razor: Merkur 37C // Timeless Bronze SB
Blade: Gillette Nacet (5) // Astra Blue (4)
Pre: Shower
Soap: P&B Spitfire
Post: Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm // P&B Spitfire solid cologne
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS

A crappy end to the week as received my first shot of the vaccine and have felt like crap including a few hours in Emergency but thankfully no signs of anything serious and Covid-19 free. Add to that some annoying allergies and lockdown but things could always be worse.

At least the last few shaves have been positive using this setup as the soap performs great and the scent has certainly grown on me...

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

So good stopped at single pass WTG and a goatee

and still along way to go before as expert as many members​

No. I don’t need anymore soaps, otherwise, I would end up being a bloody baby lamb chop during the pandemic.

Thanks for the kind words mate. Yeah I had the standard symptoms such as chills, a fever that still shows occasionally and noticed a bruise on my calf that wasn't there earlier plus tightness so jumped the gun by visiting ER for testing. Nothing of concern found so at home and feeling a lot better but next few days will tell if things pass as the vaccine does its thing. Great to see numbers also down in CBR so here's hoping the Lockdown helps to control the spread...

Maybe have a nice cold beer might cheer you up for the shitty sickies vaccine.
