Never used in the box 1937 Valet Autostrop, (used 1 time now 😉).
Mama Bears Age spice shave soap. Decided to just rub soap directly onto wet face and lather it up. Lathers really good. Nice slickness
used Smilez4Milez 24 mm Jerusalem olive wood badger brush. Bowl just to store soap is a Turkish hand hammered copper coffee cup. This razor is very aggressive, definitely a light touch requirement. Makes my R41 seem tame by comparison. Almost bbs in 1 pass wow!

“Artist Club” August comes to a close after :
17 shaves with Atelier Durdan La Faulx (titane sablé)
&
8 shaves with the SS Vector.

Both are great razors that shave me closer and with less irritation than anything else I own. They sometimes make me wonder why I even bother with DEs…

Good morning everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wonderful shave today! Went back to Martin de Candre and their wonderful "Agrumes" shave soap. Nice citrus scent and excellent lather whipped up with the Rich Yuengel "Breakwater" HD ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Gillette Super-109 and I finished with Myrsol "Agua de Limon" after shave splash and Etat Libre d'Orange "Cologne" EdP.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

A fantastic soap & splash! The lather was rich, creamy, slick, and with the matching splash...numbingly cold!
Super-duper good shave with this excellent heavyweight razor removing a 4-day stubble smoothly & efficiently...
