Still in but no photo today.

Pre-Shave: hot water
Brush: Simpsons Classic C1 Synthetic
Lather: Muhle Sandalwood shaving stick
Razor: Gillette Old Type 1918 w/ replica handle by Razoremporium
Blade: Wilkinson sword classic (1)
Post-shave: Cold water and Geo F Trumper Ecuris Skin Food

My made in the USA 1918 old type might not be as smooth as the made in Uk 1921-1928 one, but with a steep angle it is good for a quick 2-pass shave before work.

Only 9 days to go, dont stumble now folks.
 
Still in 🙏🏾

No urge what so ever.
Great shave with the ferocious Yaqi Agamemnon.
Made me wonder why I would feverishly hunt for razors to expand my collection.
This GRUME is by far my best so far.
Happy shaver here 💪🏼

Still in. I've been on the road for the past week and don't shave when traveling usually.

The movers are here packing up our stuff so I set aside one soap, razor, and aftershave to use for the next few months. My SOTD pictures are going to be pretty boring with no variety in products.
Post them anyway. You can create variety by, for instance, using a different news paper every day 😇
 
Still in and now on the home straight
Tonight’s shave
Pre-Shave: Warm face wash
Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
Blade: Wilkinson Sword Saloon Pack
Brush: Frank Shaving 3-Band Silvertip Badger
Soap: SV Dolomiti 4.0
Post-Shave: Alum Block
SV Dolomiti AS Lotion
Nivea Protect & Care ASB

Another cracking shave. The fresh Wilkie mowed down the whiskers effortlessly. Minimal touch and no claret to boot. BBS finish with which I am pleased.

That’s 3 shaves to perform before the GRUME is complete. Temptation, get outta here. Stay safe all. Until the next shave peeps 😎😎😎
