Good shave tonight.
Blade is performing well,
No nicks nor irritation post
Shave. I forgot how awesome this scent of Taylor’s is. And rich.
I will aim for at least 10 shaves from this blade. Nacets are top tier to say the least.

Greetings,

Another menthol themed early morning shave...The OSP cream is great wake up call to your face sensors first thing on a cold morning..An excellent shaving cream,which only a small amount is requiredto get a great lather in no time with a very nice citrusy scent and plenty of menthol goodness,and a excellent post shave feeling to my face... i've only used a few times since it's purchase,but after the performance today it'll be another one that will be added more regularly to future SOTD shave set ups..Superb stuff.

The W.S Premium/gillette 7'oclock s.s. matched together superbly resulting in a comfortable 3 pass + pick ups DFS with no errors to report.A very enjoyable shave.

Finishing the shave off with some generous dollop of Wilko ~ Men's Aftershave Balm.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.

Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Soap: La Toja
Razor: ATT SE1 / UFO Tornado
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (4)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Alvarez Gomez Barbaria

One of those iconic soaps that I was always gonna get around to trying, but hadn't as yet. Well, I can tick this one off, and what an impressive soap.
I loaded the stick to my wet face for about 30 seconds as per normal for me, and slowly added water as I lathered. Very easy to generate lather, and a subtle clean scent.
Performance was very good, nice razor glide and slickness. The lather was dissipating a little at the back end of the 3rd pass, but this may have been due to underloading.
Three passes for a very comfortable BBS result. Post shave was pleasant; not quite as moisturising as some of my best soaps.
Clearly a soap that deserves its reputation, and a bargain at the price.
