BB SS
Nacet
TroyCraft 'Apollo' 26mm G5C
Tabac Soap and Splash

Nacet isnt as smooth as the BIC or Minora in this razor, still reasonably smooth and got a very close shave. The G5C is a champion brush, very happy with the knot. The brush itself has instantly become my favorite.. Pics dont do it justice, just a beautiful brush to look at. The feel is excellent, the burl adds a touch of weight which I love, balance is excellent.

so how was this brush named? well it truly looks like the oceans and earth collide and gives it a look as if its a chuck of earth looking from space, hence Apollo.. Also doesnt hurt hat Apollo is the ancient Greek God of Music

these new age synthetics are amazing, feel great and make such a nice lather so much easier than a natural brush

SOTD – WED 23 NOV 2022​

Aussie Wednesday Shave

Shave Result: BHS is a soft but not runny cream, so I placed a 3.0gm scoop of product in my bowl and made a lovely creamy medium density lather. Lather performance was excellent all around, this Budget option is worth a try. The lather has a light pleasant citrus powdery aroma, 6/10 scent strength. The mild Yaqi “Mellon” SLOC head and Blue Sword combine well together to give an easy going smooth clean DFS.
