Razor - Lord L6
Blade - Shark Super Chrome (1)
Brush - Yaqi 24mm Plissoft
Soap - Speick Stick
Post - Alum
AS - Ben's Bay Rum & Nivea Balm

First time using a Lord L6 razor and a Shark Super Chrome, the blade seemed to be one of the sharper Lord blades I have used. Impressed with the Lord L6 razor, seems a touch more aggressive than a DE89, but smooth nonetheless.
 
Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Semogue 1470 Boar
Soap: Sudsy Soapery Lavender & Peppermint
Razor: Gem MMCP
Blade: Gem SS
Post: Warm then cold water rinse,Vitamin E Oil, Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The 1470 gets better with every use but even with a petite brush like this, I still manage to overload the Sudsy Soapery and had enough lather over for several more passes.
The Aqua Velva is also easy to overdo, a little goes a long way.
A nice menthol kick from the soap and splash, luckily I don't have to venture outside.
 


Pre: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus
Soap: OSP Barbershop
Razor: UFO Goliath / ATT S1
Blade: Vntage Gillette Super Silver (6)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion
Splash: Pitralon Swiss

The eve of the third Ashes Test Match here in Perth. Looks like some rain on days 4 and 5; let's hope it stays away and we have a good match.
Some lovely slick lather from the OSP tonight. The scent of this soap is strongly biased towards lavender - I'm struggling to pick up any other notes.
The ATT S1 dealt easily with a 4 day growth, with three passes for a DFS+. A super comfortable shave, with no irritation nor hint of claret, and a hell of a good post shave.

This is a APR Spring release. Dans interpretation of De Laires MDS is delightful, the Aftershave has more staying power than any other I've ever used, it's like an EDT.

Agree Steve. Dan doesn't skimp on the ingredients for his A/S line - wonderfully complex fragrances that last and last. Same deal with his soaps.

Blade was smooth and very comfortable. The post came as I was about to shave so seeing the Leresche landed, I gave it a go. I hate open combs but this is very mild and was comfortable shave. No weepers, irritation or any nastiness. I did two passes with the razor and it gets a thumb up from me. The soap and brush were excellent, though it shed 2 hairs...​
