...and same again. I was in a hurry this morning, so I face/head lathered the soap for a change just to save time. The Sabre is a good choice for this situation. Until recently, I'd have said it's impossible to injure yourself with the Sabre, but @Errol has proven me wrong. But only by using a paint-stripper blade in it... :facepalm: :banghead:

Pre-shave: Proraso Red preshave cream
Brush: TF Customs 3 band Silvertip
Soap: Salt lake Soaps, Attitude
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Gillette Minora #2
Post-shave: Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel, Blue Stratos

A new soap for me from Salt lake Soaps, a local Aussie producer. Really nice scent, not overpowering like some others, but a subtle masculinity wafting through the bathroom. I like it!
Lathered well and lasted all 3 passes, slick and comfortable. 200grams in a 9 x 5cm tub I thought was good value too.
I spoon scraped this soap into a bowl to lather up. Seems easier to control moisture content in the lather that way.
Sandalwood and Leather scent is next.

EDIT: I just saw the birthday message to me on the front page of the forum. Thanks guys(y), really appreciate it!:D
