Brush: Alpha Shaving Brushes T-400 24/57mm AP Shave Co. Faux Horse
Razor: Muhle Rocca V4 R94
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow (4)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Squadron Soaps Dispatch Rider
Post: Brut A/S Splash // The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30 ml // The Stray Whisker After Balm
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS+

Swapped out the FS G4 knot for the Faux Horse as I found it too dense in this handle. The Faux Horse feels super soft but with enough backbone that I managed to whip up some creamy lather with very little effort. Call me old fashioned as I love me some Brut but sadly this Fougere is too earthy but performance wise Squadrons base hits the spot!

Brush: TF Customs Green Swirls & Transparent 27mm Rhodium Silvertip
Razor: Merker 34C
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow (5)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Squadron Soaps Dispatch Rider
Post: Brut A/S Splash // Stirling Soap Co. Unscented Balm
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS+

The blade bumps the shave up from a DFS to DFS+ but still not as close as I'd like around the chin area.

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

'26 Gillette
Bolzano (5)
William Marvy Shave soap - "Look Better, Feel Better"
Glycerin (4 drops, should have done 3)
Omega Professional '98 Boar
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

Really, really, very good lather with this soap using this brush, the added glycerin is a necessary step with Marvy's but who cares, as the payoff on the lather stands on its own.


Great shave.

S.O.T.D. Is B&M Lavender my Favourite love the Scent and Slickness.

My new WW new Brush Finally arrived and I’m quite impressed with it. It’s a special Brush for me and first time to try Timberwolf 25mm knot it’s soft and feels great on face.

Also on the Another thing that I love so much about Karve Razor Original Top Cap you see blade tab exposure at each side of Baseplate, when it’s polished that little tab exposure protects from getting scratches on each side of that Baseplate in my view it’s Phenomenal.

Razor - Karve SS - SB-C
Brush - WW - Interobang - 25mm Timberwolf Bulb
Blade - Tiger - Platinum

PreShave Oil - Truefitt & Hill
Post Shave - Lucky Tiger
Aftershave - B&M - Lavender

Razor Yaqi AC Aluminum New 1st Use(y)(y)(y)
Blade
Feather ProGuard 2nd(y)(y)(y)
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Ice Blue
The soap...wow! I thought the Mogno was slickest but this lather slickness was as good too...very slick! It's very rich and creamy with a unique scent. Kinda heavy hearty rich scent to my nose.
The shave with this very light aluminum razor paired with the blade was incredibly good even better (slightly) than yesterday's brass handle. Super silky-smooth and incredible comfort for 3passes for a total BBS! Even the adam apple area stubborn whiskers are closely removed by this razor/blade combo which my other de razor/blades can't...wow! This is indeed a revelation for a possible vaccine against RAD😉😉!! If only the blades are cheaper...
