- Prep: Shower
- Brush: Simpsons M7 Synthetic
- Razor: Rockwell 6S
- Blade: Parker SS (1)
- Soap: PdP Bergamot and Thyme
- Aftershave: PdP Bergamot and Thyme balm
- Post Shave: Thayers Rose and Hyaluronic Acid

A suprisingly excellent shave my first try with a Parker blade. These are really good. Very smooth but not super sharp.

Also my first shave with the M7 synth. Excellent brush and the best synth I have tried. Strangely, i really dislike my Simpson Classic synth which has the same bristles (much different knot).

9/10

Wednesday morning shave

Razor: Rich Leukroth
Brush: Boar
Soap: Portus Cale
Post: Clubman

Another fine shave this morning. So many things I like about this razor, a pleasure to use. Soap from Portugal is leaving my post shave skin feeling nourished, a fine product IMHO with a more robust scent than I’m used too. Almost floral, but not unpleasant, noticeably different. Happy Wednesday!

Today’s shave:

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Duke 3 best
Cream: D R Harris lavender
Razor: Tech fat handle NDC
Blade: Astra SP (0)
Post: Stirling Baker Street splash

First time lathering for real with the Duke 3. Looks like another fantastic addition to the brush line-up! The DRH cream was ok. The lavender version has a very weak scent profile on the face. It provided plenty of slickness and protection though.

Put the new SP blade in and had a much better shave than yesterday with the PIR. Two pass WTG and XTG with an irritation free, blood free DFS++ shave today!

Finished off with Baker Street. Had a good ount of feedback which I love. SWMBO said I smelled great!

I don't have that soap but I have the Aftershave Lotion. It's a good aftershave but it says BOLD on the label and IT IS.

That's really interesting. This soap has a very mild scent in my opinion. I don't have the matching AS, but I would have thought it would be pretty mild after using this soap. But you are right, the AS label says "BOLD" (I had to look it up).

I do like this soap's performance. I am almost out of it and ordered the unscented version just to have a "clean pallette" replacement when using pre-shaves or aftershaves.
 
Hot Towel
Voskhod blade (3) should have stopped at 2 uses I usually do.
Zenith 505AK Manchurian Brush
MDC Fougere Soap
Timeless Ti .95 OC Razor 3rd day in a row using this razor

Very nice shave but could feel the blade pulling a little should have only used the Voskhod blade twice.

Lucky Tiger aftershave

The Soap, Brush and Razor were incredible just wish I had switched out the blade

8.5/10 because of the blade.

Soap Ariana & Evans Peach & Cognac
Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice Badger
Razor RazoRock G37 Slant
Blade Treet Platinum SS 1st
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
The scent is outstanding for this soap. The lather is creamy and slick too.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very good. The last use of this blade in another razor was kinda rough so been ignoring it until now and it was very smooth and comfortable for 3passes for a mostly BBS result. Somehow a tiny weeper occurs without reason...hahaha. Good post & aftershaves. Rating 9.8/10
