Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus High Mountain White Badger
Soap: Calani Oriental Plum
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Sticky
Blade: NOS London Bridge (2)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Penhaligon's Castile

First use of the Calani Oriental Plum soap. A beautiful scent - sweet fruit balanced with spicy tobacco. I now understand why this scent is revered by many shavers.
The lather was also excellent - easy to build, persistent, and lovely cushioning and glide.
Three passes for a DFS+, and I'm grinning .

Didn't snap a picture, but decided to try the Nivea Shave Stick for the first time today. It performed surprisingly well! I wanted to give it its best chance so I applied it very liberally and added a good amount of water. The resulting lather was very slick (enough for 3 passes plus a some for touch up)! Had a difficult time rinsing the soap from my hands due to residual slickness. Followed it up with the Nivea Balm and a little Aqua Velva for a little menthol kick. Very refreshing! Good stuff and will probably use this in my travel kit since it comes in a hard screw top container!

Brush: Semogue 1250
Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable (Short Handle) - Settings 7 (WTG), 5 (XTG), 3 (ATG)

Continuing with the Aristocrats and today we have a lovely 48-51 that comes courtesy of @REV579 down in Texas. This particular one is the first A’crat acquired and is a fav of mine. Though she isn’t as pretty as some of the others and is missing an end cap, she shaves wonderfully. Loaded up with a Polsilver IR this A’crat is fantastic!

Today’s soap of the day is Barrister & Mann’s Seville simply, I can’t get enough of this clean scent. They say it is a take on a barbershop scent...well I want to find that shop and move in!!

Lathered up with the Chubby 1 and proceeded to get through a wonderful, three pass BBS shave! Finished up with the matching AS and a lovely dab of Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense which, is an incredible EDP and match for Seville. Bring on the weekend and Happy Shaves all!

Esta brocha en pelo de tejón negro no tiene nada que envidiarle a las grandes Silvertip ,que aún siendo un pelo de la parte del vientre del tejón hace una espuma espectacular y no pincha tanto como se dice y encima a mitad de precio de las grandes tejonas.
