Gillette Aristocrat #22, Rapira Swede
M7 Style SynBad Brush kindly gifted by @Missoni
Hampshire Lanolin No.3
Taylor’s Tobacco Leaf AS

Really enjoyed the brush as it whipped up lather effortlessly and very efficiently. Huge thanks to @Missoni.

Was at my folks today and after a good long search, I found an absolute treasure trove of shaving crap, oops, I mean gear. Feels like Christmas!

And very nice it was too.
Its always hard to choose one of the special razors i have, i am really glad the MM got an outing today, sublime, close and comfortable.
Finishing off with the Barts Balm Lime lotion and balm then a good splash of Vintage 4711, it seems this 4711 has a bit more Alcohol in it than the present version.
All good.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Best wishes!

And the soap was....?

Flippin cold, Stefan.
I need to dial this soap in. First lather was a bit airy that I struggled to improve upon. That said, it was deceptively slick and the post-shave is excellent.

Maybe load more soap? I've never had any problems with First Canadian. But, the water could of course be very different.

5 September 2021

Preshave: Hot water rinse
Brush: Razorock 400 Aluminium Synthetic
Razor: British Gillette Aluminium Handled Tech
Blade: Sainsbury's [Dorco] (25)
Soap/Cream: Hawkins & Brimble Elemi & Ginseng
Aftershave Balm: Rock Face Shaving Butter
Aftershave: M&S Woodspice

A relaxed Sunday shave with a near BBS, 8.5/10 result. I thoroughly recommend H&K shaving cream to those who haven't tried it, a little goes a long way and it readily whips into excellent lather with a slight tingle.

Wishing you all a safe, peaceful Sunday.

Regards,
Chris
