Brush: C&H 'Eyespot' V18
Soap: DG Cerberus
Razor: Friodur 472
Post: DG Cerberus AS & EDP

Decent enough shave, the shave itself was grand but thought I'd give the Cerberus set a turn. It's nice enough but definitely prefer the fougere release.

I'm itching for the package to arrive from Griffith's Shaving, restored Frederick Reynolds Swayback, bloody thing seems to be stuck in the void that is Heathrow and has been since the 9th, infuriating!

Smooth, irritation free and smelling decent enough lol hope everyone has a grand one.

Cheers

Marc

Comments
Today I am using my Muhle Silvertip Fibre brush. I have had this brush for several years and at one time it was exclusively used as a travel brush. Since I don’t do that much traveling I took it out of my Dopp bag and use it in my rotation. The Timeless/Med Prep combo is on its 4th use and the MdC soap is on its 83rd use. This brush has a lot more backbone than most synthetics and it made some nice lather. The shave was close and smooth. The Proraso ASB is almost used up. I like this product and most likely I will buy some more. Have a great day.

Sunday Schick Shave, Aril 23rd 2023

Razor : Schick i2 type with Hydro magic feature for cleaning- Mfg 1954-57, nice tame mid range, they sure knew how to build razors back in the 1950's with no CNC machines. This is one of the most interesting and comfortable razors in my Schick collection. Had a close comfortable shave this morning with no drama.
Blade : Personna SS PTFE injector(9) sharp & smooth with excellent longevity.
Soap : Taylor of old bond street sandal wood cream(AKA=TOBS) nice herbal scented sandalwood 8/10 on scent + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi" Barber pole theme" 24mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. 2band badgers are one of the best over all for brush shaving needs IMO+ great handle to use.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Ogallala Bayrum & Sandal wood + a dollop of Geo F Trumpers Sandalwood skin food.
Results : 1-10 dial - Copy (2)4 template 9.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Excellent shave with my Schick i2 with a Personna coated blade.

Soap: RazoRock Blue
Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Master Bay Rum

This brush keeps getting another chance. I planned when I got it to replace the knot. But it keeps producing the lather and the painting of the lather to my face is great. So the knot keeps surviving.
