Soap Stirling Ozark Mountain 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia
Razor GEM Junior
Blade GEM Stainless 13th use... (not sure if a doing few strops on oxide-pasted linen followed by lather helps)
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice
This is a very nice & pleasant scented soap. The strength was a good medium off-puck and consistent throughout the shave. Nicely creamy and slick lather too.
Shave with razor paired with the well-used but still sharpish blade was amazingly smooth, comfortable, and quite efficient for 3passes without any issues. The result was mostly bbs to dfs. Excellent aftershave too. Very enjoyable SE shave session!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.
Great shave today! Love Frank's soaps and splashes and can't wait to get some of the Dragonsbeard V3 when it's available. Today I went with Melande d'agrumes soap and skin food. Fantastic soap and scent. If you've never tried any of the Ethos line you really should. Finished with a spray of YSL L'Homme. Great way to start the week!
Hope you have a great day!

George Washington Birthday
Rooney 3/2 Faux Horn Finest (24/54)
Floris Elite shaving soap (tallow)
LASSC BBS-1/Triad Aristocrat Black
Schick Super Chromium (4)
Floris Elite aftershave (vintage)
The Schick once again was rough, making the aftershave really sting, and I have plenty of razor blades, so the blade and its brethren went into the recycling.

Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Clubman VIBR
This is real classy soap, easily producing a creamy, slick, and lovely scented lather.
The shave with razor paired with the mysterious blade was quite good actually. Rather smooth and comfortable even for the atg pass on the chin and lips area. However, found the shave is better & smoother with a shallow angle. 3passes for a mixed bbs to dfs result, however encountered 3 weepers...Excellent aftershave.
