Hahahaha nice catch!!
I'm in 
First shave with this exquisite bear tallowed soap. I absolutely adore the combi of the picture on the lid and the name of this Ukrainian Areffa soap: "Total Black". I tell you: this is a great soap from an excellent artisan soap maker, brethren.
It has been some time since I used this Dutch vintage bakelite Philite razor. Great little razor, the lather comes out on the opposite side of the head, making it glide like an ice skater.
Can't say the acquisition urge has calmed down completely, but lucky for me I can't think of anything appealing enough to be tempted.. Except for a caged Le Coq, or all Areffa soaps, cremes and lotions. Or a Famex. And the new Razorock Slant. Or a.........

Nice art work too.
You already have every Bakelite on the planet my man! And Sweden called for their vintage razors too you know. Maybe this can help:
Are you patronizing me, dude?
Stick around anyway. There's always 29/31 brother.I can't play along this month.
I've already violated rule 3.b. The "Birthday Rule":
See you all next time around
Respect, brother. I hold you in great esteem for taking your feelings serious, well done
Psssst.. sirrrrr... yes, you.... wanna buy a vintage bakelite? Only been used once by an old lady, parked in the garage every day. I make you a special price, yes?
Not at all! I wouldn’t know a thing about patronizing even if it hit me between the eyes. Just trying to keep a brother in, that’s all.

1st shave of December
Pre-Shave: Hot face wash
Razor: Rockwell 6C (5)
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux
Brush: FS 3-Band Silvertip 26mm
Soap: MWF
Post -Shave: Alum Block
Fine American Blend AS Splash
Nivea Protect & Care ASB
Loaded heavy with the MWF and face lathered. Lather was nice and thick but well hydrated. Aided me in achieving a BBS result. Love the slickness and post shave feel of MWF and don’t have any issues with lathering. FAB splash complemented the MWF scent and all in all I’d rate this shave as 9/10.
Long may this continue.
Stay safe people and enjoy your shaves
PS….Anyone have a puck of PDP No.63 they want to trade ?
Preferably someone in Europe due to shipping costs
Thanks

First shave with this New Chubby - This brush is incredible enough, cannot wait to see its performance after 100 shaves
I'm warming very much to the D R Harris - Marlborough; scent has been approved by my girls - but then again so has Arko!...
Have a great start to your weekend !

I’m picturing you in a trench coat!
Day 2, 6.5% complete.
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Enhancement: a few drops of glycerine
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 OC, Al Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave
Back to the open comb .84. This time, I tried WTG, XTG and then some selective tidy-ups, skipping ATG.
The result was comfortable, and a pretty good DFS. Maybe this is the way to get seven days a week out of the open comb plate, without a build-up of irritation.
@Guido75 and @Balin, I've not tried B&M soaps yet, but just looked them up...

First of the month and good to see all the still ins!
I had a little time pressure (dinner) so stuck with what I know, the Badger. I was rewarded with another DFS!
