- Astra Superior Platinum (4)
- Fine L'Orange Noir soap
- Semogue 1305 (first use)
- Bowl lather
- Fine Italian Blend AS
- Thayers Lemon as well as Cucumber Witch Hazel

I started with an Omega 10066 when I started wet shaving last year. Always seemed like a good, if not great, brush. Using the 1305 today made me raise my eyebrows as soon as it touched my cheek. I think I like it better and it hasn't even been broken in. I tend to be a creature of habit. This morning reminded me how I've been missing out by not mixing things up more frequently. That's going to change. Hopefully, lol.

Happy weekend all.

Great close of the workweek, gentlemen. Superb photographs, concise descriptions and informative comments. Thank you very much for each one.

Friday was one busy, maddening day for me, keeping me away from the computer for most of the time. I finally got around to taking my SOTD pic about an hour ago. I'm quite tired this evening so I'm afraid if I start comments now I'll fall asleep at the keyboard. I won't be home Saturday until late afternoon but once I return I'll give my observations on both Friday and Saturday contributions.

Have a great weekend, gents. Be seeing you.

Greetings,

A new set up to start the weekend... I've been digging out shaving provisions i haven't used for a long time, i still have gear i've yet to try....
That's what happens when you go on impulsive buying bouts, you build up so much stuff, you forget what you've got in your shaving den.Back to the shave....

Another soap experiment using a small cut disc of palmolive 'Classic'shave stick & some slithers of the w.s. soap bowl pressed together in my mixing bowl, and bloomed for a 2 minutes in a few drops of warm water. The verdict?....

Not a wonderful result, not quite the the result i had with the Arko & shave cream but never the less ,a good enough lather, for the shave..
The wilkinson sword soap bowl i find you have to work with it to provide a good lather.,next time i'll try it with a cream rather than a soap..

My 24C/Gillette W.S.(saloon pack)blade paired up excellently, resulting in a smooth efficient 3 pass + pick ups shave, with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of lucky tiger & some

squirts of the Benetton EDT to the pulse points & chest.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
