Brush: TROYCRAFT Purple & Gold 28mm Boar
Razor: Muhle Rocca V4 R95 Birch Bark
Blade: Gillette London Bridge (1) - thanks @rhodes96
Pre: Shower
Soap: A&E Asian Plum
Post: Milkman HQ Spring Rider A/S Serum // Sukin Hydration Biomarine Facial Serum

First shave with this blade and really impressed as seems a perfect match for the Rocca = buttery smooth yet shaves close minus any irritation or weepers. Reminds me of a Minora so thanks for the freebies @rhodes96 ;)

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

Razor: Wolfman Ti WR2 1.05

I notice the Ethos Lavender has been coming up quite frequently in your SOTDs lately - is that because you really like it, or because you want to use it up as quickly as possible? I only ask because I'm making vague attempts to refine my shopping list for next year. :p

I have four soaps from Ethos Grooming Essentials: Greenfresh, Lavender, Mélange d’agrumes, and Ethos/CBL Fresh Lime. All are premium soaps with outstanding performance and pure (not perfumey) scents. Lavender is my personal favorite. Before it’s completely used up, I’ll definitely order more. :love:

Mate you want some as IMHO the Ethos soap base is up there with the best available. Plus Dragonbeard is a good dude ;)
