Indeed hahaSo the soap holds double meaning? For commentary on the shave and the monarchy?

#2 soap in the den, and #1 SE in the Universe. Smooth and perfect 3 passes. This soap is only #2 because of the Soap Wizardry of @CBLindsay and CBL soaps. The feather blade is doing well and resulted in a DSBBS shave
Finished off with the Nuavia Verde aftershave and some generous Vasillies of AdP
Perfect start to the day!
Hope your is good as well!

It has been a long time since I used this combo, why you ask? It was as the back or the soap locker, and the fragrance vault. Simply put….Perfection. Wonderful fragrance, great lather, and a perfect skating rink for the DX. New blade in the str8, with the typical keenness for a couple of shaves, until it settles in.
As expected a very nice DSBBS shave. Finished up with all Tabac post shave items.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Quick DE shave before starting my Friday. Cella is perfect for that. Easy to lather, great for the face and a nice Italian fragrance to boot
Finished up with the AS and added a bit more of a lemonesk feel with adding the Daytona.
Hope everyone has a great Saturday

Nice Shave today. A good "refresh" on Sevilliana and she was happy. How could anything associated with Pink Floyd, ever be bad? ONE word NOTHING! Great later, fantastic fragrance and a smooth DSBBS shave. Looking forward to the Zoom call this afternoon, and trying out the new Timeless tobacco in the pipe.
Finished up with Noble Fig, which perfectly matches and enhances todays shave
Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there, and Happy Muthas Day to all you hooligans

"Like BarberDave… I make my own fun”
I'm right there with you on Pink Floyd, although I have to be honest - when The Final Cut came out, I listened to it once.
For me, Pink Floyd was mainly about loving David Gilmour's voice and Guitar. In my imaginary fan narrative, the band retires at the end of side 3 of The Wall.

Minty Goodness today with a Spaniard.
Greenfresh is always a good warn weather shave, add spearmint to the mix and perfection is almost attained. Add the Filarmonica and Universal Nirvana is obtained. Mint fragrances that are "just right" are few and far between to me. Floris 1962, and This Wild Mint being the best I have seen so far to my olfactory.
3 passes today and a nice DSBBS shave. Most of my razors are now "converted" , or should I say refreshed via the "SuperCurve" Balsa and strop and the edges are doing very well. No a monstrous difference in my old method of a Translucent, or Black ark refresh, but just enough to notice a difference

Hope everyone is having a nice Monday!

Noble Otter B/W - Synth
Mitchell’s Wool Fat Shave Soap
Alum
Thrive un scented face balm
Nivea 2 in 1 Aftershave
Our brother Bruce (@Graybeard57 ) is having a procedure on Thursday and thanks to @NurseDave, we are sending prayers, love and light to him and his family
We are also showing solidarity by becoming unscented, or as close as possible! Minimalists
To go one step further, I will be using this set up throughout my work week to further show support As a CEC Enabler, I am about as far as an unscented, minimalist shaver. Not even a frag this week, unscented balm, as and close as possible for slightly scented items, which is also a nod to Bruce’s spouse, again in solidarity, prayer, and light for a GREAT outcome
Great shave today and we love you Bruce!
Please join us…. For Bruce!

I went with just Williams. I hope that's unscented enough. All the best thoughts for @Graybeard57 you got this!!
Same with MWF about as close to unscented as I can get
