Let's kick this thing off! May Day shave on a crisp autumn morning was a delight! Great lather and the Fili sang through the shave like a diva! Have great shaves, comrades!

[EclipseRedRing]

Day one and I am still in I tried the German Wilkinson Sword blades and did not care for them but these English versions are superb. They are almost a bit too smooth, shame I am down to my last blade and cannot seem to find any more. I will proabably find some now I have joined my first GRUME

[ric164]

Still in on day 1. Had a great shave to start out the month. Have a blessed and successful month everyone.

 

[La Malice]

Today's shave, 1 day of growth

Razor : Merkur 34 HD C
Blade : Voshkod (4)
Soap (SOTM) : Godrej Cinthol
Brush : Trafalgar T2
Aftershave: Osma Alum block, Bootleg Green Freeze, Nivea Sensitive Balm

Well that bottle of Nivea is done for. I also started a new Alum block this morning, what a pleasure to hold a large chunk of it in my hand compared to the left over from the previous block started in October 2022. That leftover has found a few friends with the rest of the left overs

 

[WThomas0814]

Still IN.
