pre: mask of magnaminty, let the good times roll.
Razor: slim (6)
Blade: polsilver
Brush: Troy tools Osage
Soap: Noble Otter RAWR
Post: witchhazel, RAWR splash and enzymoin moisturiser.

A couple of things. I forgot how much I love a polsilver blade.
Secondly, RAWR may be my favourite soap.
Thirdly, that Osage brush from @TroyTools is spectacular- I still have about 5ft of this timber around so if anyone wants, I’m due to send him something soon so can always add a bit more wood to the box.

And finally, I know lush products get no play here as far as shaving goes but some of their skincare stuff really works for me and I’d recommend them for a bit of variety.

hey mate got a pic of the osage brush?
 
I have OCD. In addition to my other oddities, I do a 3-pass shave every morning and it has to be BBS. Otherwise, there is no sense spending the time it takes to shave. My favourite razor lately is an adjustable injector. I have a Schick M-type adjustable, Parker v2 adjustable and I have a 1960's PAL adjustable on way. Lately, I have been using the Parker Mon-Fri and a straight on the weekends. This morning I once again used the Parker. I set it on #2 (it has 5 settings) and the shave was so comfortable that I had to make sure I hadn't forgotten to put a blade in the razor. Oh, what a feeling!

Been a while since I posted as I usually post at work, but now at a new job where it just isn't possible to do so.. Nevertheless the shaves have continued and have been exclusively shaving with the WR2 and BlackBird for the past month to get to know both these amazing razors better.

Even did the unthinkable and pushed out a few quick two pass shaves without any ATG 🤯 and was left pleasantly surprised. Still feel nothing beats the feeling of a nice 3-4 pass ATG BBS shave but there is certainly a place for the quick two pass non ATG shaves in my routine.
Used the WR2 1.25 + feather combo for these and although not BBS a very close DFS+
