You like Brown Windsor English soup?

No, but I do like Brown Windsor soap.

Where on earth did you buy this aftershave the Dana English Leather?

It a big bottle (8fl oz) and was quite a while ago, I think it was from one of the fragrance discount online stores, probably "PriceRiteMart" because I buy from them on a regular basis.

Always good to see Yardley getting a workout. As a matter of interest, have you varnished the bowl? Nothing wrong with that if you did of course, just curious. My unfinished bowls look a bit scruffy by comparison.

No. It came like that from eBay vendor.

Hi @Mark1966 I notice with interest the 3P shaving soap. Can you tell me where you got the soap? I have the 3P pre/post shave and like it a lot.

Pre-shave: Hot flannel, Pears soap
Brush: Troycraft "Opalesque" 28mm AP G5C
Soap: Art of Shaving (Valobra) Sandalwood
Razor: ΑΛΦΑ Claymore Evolution
Blade: Feather Professional Super
Post-shave: Shower, TND witch hazel, homebrew moisturiser, Oxford & Cambridge cologne
COTD: Hamasil Village, Yemen

I seem to have got stuck on this setup for a few days. The AoS Sandalwood is an easy soap to use as a default, especially at this time of year. It has to be the most non-sweet smelling sandalwood I've ever sniffed, and I like that. And thanks again to @TomG for sending it my way.

This Feather blade is starting to get a bit rough after only 5 goes (head and face) so time for something a bit different tomorrow.

My pleasure to provide the soap, and thank you in return for generously pif’ing me the Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge. I am just searching for a worthy soap dish to house it .

Speedy - I picked up mine in Oz also via an online merchant; could only find it in small bottles (30ml, I think).

Soap: Pb Pimento Silk
Brush: Zenith Boar
Razor: Puma 226
AS: Pb Pimento Silk
I had stopped using the Zenith boar for a while due to it's shedding but it's such a lovely knot I can put up with some shedding to use it.

 

[Gargravarr]

Pre-shave: Hot flannel, Pears soap
Brush: Troycraft "Polar Nocturne" 28mm AP Titanium
Soap: Phoenix & Beau - Imperial Rum
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: Personna GEM Stainless
Post-shave: Shower, TND witch hazel, homebrew moisturiser, Pour un Homme de Caron EdT
COTD: Hamasil Village, Yemen

A good thing about showering after shaving is I don't have to worry about matching soaps to fragrances. This gigantic bottle of Pour un Homme is another stupendously generous PIF from @TomG - thanks Despite its hefty freight of powdery lavender, it has a lot of vanilla in it to give it warmth for a frosty morning, with a host of floral and other notes to keep it interesting. Easy to see why it's been a classic since 1934.

R41 Gillette 7 O’clock Green Mikes Semogue Nivea

Still loving the R41 daily.

Steve Jobs said technology was working best when the user doesn’t notice it. The Green Gillette blades have been doing that for me. Just disappear into an excellent shave.

So not much help I'm afraid!

I had stopped using the Zenith boar for a while due to it's shedding but it's such a lovely knot I can put up with some shedding to use it.

I had an Omega 48 boar which did this to an excessive extent and I had to toss. Fortunately, I also had another which doesn't shed at all and is a wonderful knot... it's a good thing they're so cheap!

Come to post SOTD and walk away with a 2017 LE Platypus - gotta love that P&C

Brush:- Doug Korn D13 Peanut-Butter Cup Handle with 26mm TGN knot
Razor:- Boker The Celebrated Wenge 6/8
Soap/Aftershave:- Barrister & Mann - The Full Measure of Mann

Touched up the Boker on the little Thurry and TBH is a bit too sharp like a freshly honed blade from @bald as "scalpel sharp"

Indeed. I don't even do badgers normally, but I would have made an exception for this. I snoozed and I lost, so you saved me from myself.
