you're probably right, I'll go check out the Lather Shots topic for inspiration, thanks

I think this might be my favorite pic from that thread, though @alfredus has posted so many amazing shots.

I find it's not so hard to get a great lather, but it's really, really hard to get a good picture of it.

 

[Straight up]

I remember this when I had the 50ml bottle of ETD back in 2008 and it’s been discontinued from the market since 2011.

It's been hiding in the back of my cupboard. Still smells as good as ever & takes me on a time warp when I use it.

Pre-shave: Hot water, Pears soap
Brush: Forgotten Art "Southern Skies" 30mm Snow Leopard
Soap/Cream: Stirling Bergamot Lavender
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild
Post-shave: Shower, Nivea balm, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+

Apologies for the crappy pic...

Some folks might get bored with my repeated selection of this Stirling soap, but it remains at the top of my Desert Island selection, so I won't apologise for it. (So there. )

The La Roche-Posay sunblock is a big step up from the Neutrogena product I was using before. Also more expensive ($24 at Chemist Warehouse), but I can live with that. It has very little scent, a runny consistency and goes on easily, so there's no lingering discomfort. It also doesn't roll off in lumps when applied on top of balm.

That brush is truly spectacular.

 

[Razor Burn]

Brush: Alpha Shaving Brushes T-400 Frank Shaving G4 24/52mm
Razor: RR Mamba
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (5)
Pre: Shower
Soap: AP Reserve Coolabah LE
Post: The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30 ml // Nivea 2 Phase A/S Lotion // TSW After Balm
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS

There's a reason why I rarely use the Mamba these days as its way too mild. especially for my two day growth but the blade added some efficiency to results wise the shave gets a pass. The G4 continues to surprise in density and performance but I'd prefer a larger size with a bit more splay.
Finally finished this tub of soap and a part of me is sad as AP Reserve is practically unobtanium these days...
Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: WCS - Honeycomb white.
Soap/Cream: WCS - Chypre
Razor: Karve CB - SS
Blade: Gillette 7oclock Super Stainless (6)
Post-shave: WCS - Chypre AS splash / Lucky Tiger - Face Moisturiser

2 pass WTG daily shave = DFS+. Another nice shave even better than the last. These Gillette 7oclocks are a mild blade, although enjoyable and great for those cruise control shaves without the need to worry about nicks or cuts. Really enjoy a good chypre scent, and this soap and splash did not disappoint..
The lucky Tiger moisturiser is a good little moisturiser and a perfect fit for ones dopp kit.

Hmmm, leaving sharp edges around for kids to play with? Natural selection at work I guess...
