Yardley London Shaving Soap (vintage) * B&M Lavender Aftershave
Skipped shaving yesterday so today's shave was extra nice! Super hot and muggy morning here today so I went for a Menthol Monday. Returned to Furbo and their excellent "Blu" shave soap. Great old school Blue Floid scent with exceptional lather built with the Simpson "Chubby" 1 best badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Super Speed and I finished with RazoRock "Blue Barbershop" aftershave splash (closest scent to original "Blue Floid I've found) & Acqua di Parma "Essenza" EdC.
Hope you have a great day.

Decided to stick with the VDH shave soap again this week. It seems to be getting easier to lather and providing a better lather as well. The Star/Suneko is really nice, smooth/comfortable/effective and I think the Star razor is severely underrated. My face is happy. Now ge enjoy your day folks.
WoolfBlades 7/8 with a wide convex bevel. The bevel angle is just below 14 deg with a naked spine. So, the bevel is built up in stages, so you end up with a 16 deg convex bevel.
