2019 Shave # 128 ( 181 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5
Blade: Merkur (3)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Lime Lotus
Soap: @LNHC Tashmere
Aftershave 1: LNHC Post Shave Elixir
Aftershave 2: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 3: Brut

Went with LNHC Tashmere today and got a stupendous shave. Used the Post Shave Elxir even though I didn't need it for irritation. I just wanted the nourishment and my face feels astounding. Woke to @Dagwoodz Smorgasboard sale and nabbed a few soaps (Noble Otter Texaus, LNHC Coconut Oud and @CBLindsay 3 Pines) and a Fatboy I've wanted to add to the den for awhile. Not the colors I would pick if getting it redone but at the price and knowing it is in good mechanical condition it was a no brainer. Long workday today as I like to tackle the months route early in the month so it's lighter at the end. Have a GREAT day Cadre !!!

Okay I am all caught up! Great shaves. I too consider Lakewood a tier 1 soap, but perhaps a 3 or 4 if using my scale.

Well there go my plans when i make it out to Kentucky next year to visit family.
 
Sorry guys @NurseDave @GearNoir I've been hit and miss between jobs and missed your posts somehow. That and the matching toothbrush holder I got years ago when I saw my older brother with the set. I loved it and hunted it on the bay for 2 years before I found a set. They're made in Japan. When I get a chance I'll get a picture of them both together.

Fantastic set-up, Dave! (and nice photo, too). Yep, that vintage Williams is slick, slick, slick! And gotta dig the Avon Island Lime - I think it's the best lime scented aftershave of all time!
