Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wonderful shave today. Fantabulous lather and scent from the soap! Three passes and I finished with a splash of the after shave toner and spray of the matching EdT. Excellent!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Floid Blue aftershave

The shaving cream's almond worked well with the sweet citrus-floral-musk scents of the aftershave. And the shave was surprisingly smooth for being done with a brand new blade, a testament to the quality of the Carbon razor.

Wed 23 SOTD with Gears that started it all...
Cream Omega Eucalyptus
Brush Omega Boar
Razor Edwin Jagger DE89L
Blade Feather Hi-Stainless 1st
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + B&M Seville Splash
Bought my 1st DE razor with this blade all the way from the UK back in mid-2019. 1st shave was not good at all...didn't realize need soap/cream lather...I used the canned foam, resulting in nicks and irritations.
Undaunted, got my 1st brush & cream...it was displayed together so took both. Wow...my first lather and the shave were perfect! Of course I dunno anything about alum or aftershaves back then...hahaha
Today, recreate the same and it was sooo smooth and comfortable 3passes without any issues for a bbs finish. Love this cream...cheap but nicely scented, creamy, and very slick. Razor & blade were perfect combos...hardly any blade feels but back then it was scary. The aftershaves were just as good.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Always fantastic lather from the MdC Original soap. Three passes and I finished with a splash of H. Zone № 1910 after shave tonic and a spray of Vera Wang for Men.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Rooney Stubby 3XXL Ivory Finest (32/52)
Crabtree & Evelyn Mysore Sandalwood shaving soap (tallow)
Wilkinson Bonded System (12)
Chanel Égoïste Platinum aftershave

Despite hogging the lather, the brush whipped up plenty of it for 3 passes. The old soap has lost a good portion of its scent, so I livened its lather up with a few sprays of today's fragrance, Ethos Grooming Mysore Santal. I never push the Wilkinson cartridges beyond 12 shaves, but even on its last shave, this one was not dragging or pulling at all, and my skin is nearly BBS.
