Brush: Omega 10810
Cream: Proraso Blue
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Very comfortable shave. Today is the first day of spring and father's day here in Australia, and I don't have a razor from my father (he's had a beard for as long as he's been able to grow one), so I used a razor that belonged to his father (my grandfather aka Puppa). To be more relevant to the theme, my grandfather was a travel agent for a time and he did a fair bit of travelling himself guiding tours, and I found this Blue Tip was in a travel kit of his, so who knows how many planes, trains, automobiles or even boats it's been on.

Sun 1st with New Razor gifted by a forum member much thanks!
Soap CBL Tonsorial Cigar Shop Hombre
Aftershave Clubman Cognac Neat
Brush Yaqi 24mm Cavern Lake
Razor P.L. Schmidt Elberfeld 1st Use
It's a nice, aromatic soap with a creamy & slick lather whipped up with an excellent brush. It matched well with the splash.
This razor, among the 2 just received, was tested to have an edge...passable ttt & hht. So, put it through my trusted diamond-pasted balsa, HBA & the roo leather combination, and the edge positively passed the ttt & hht feeling buttery smooth, crisp, and awesome!

Pre-Shave	Face wash with Cera Ve Face Soap
Soap/Cream	Razor Rock Classic Soap
Brush	AP Shaving Tuxedo
Bowl	Captains Choice Copper & Old Spice Mug
Razor	Henson AL13++
Blade	Personna Medical Prep
Aftershave	Thayers WH & Proraso ASB
Fragrance	Beverly Hills Polo Club
Rating	8/10
Comments	This is the second shave with my Henson AL13++ with a Personna Medical Prep blade. The shave was not much better than yesterday’s with the same combination. However, I did not need any touch-ups. I did a four-pass shave on my face and a two-pass shave on my head and managed to get a nick by my mustache area.. Today’s brush is a synthetic: AP Shaving Tuxedo. It took me a while to get used to a brush with black bristles. The shave was close and smooth. Have a wonderful day and week, folks.

Brush: @Rudy Vey ”Pug Style” 26mm DG B15, this is an amazing knot, if they were still making them I would order 2 more handles from Rudy and use DG‘s knotting service. I totally agree with DanLaw this is the best knot DG has ever made.

Soap: Ethos “DragonsBeard” F Base, one of the best Ethos soaps in my opinion.
