Brush - Yaqi Tuxedo Barbershop
Razor - DE89
Blade - Lord Platinum (6)
Post - Ben's Bay Rum

The tallow Lea Shave stick really produces a superb lather, nice smelling as well. Somewhat perplexed why it was discontinued.

A great, great shave from this beautiful blade. Happy new year all!

Absolutely terrific shave, the grind on this blade is phenomenal, the whiskers crackle as they come off!

Great shave today, loaded from the tub as opposed to my usual scooping a little out, overloaded and had far too much lather. Really love all the Extro products I have tried so far, could happily stick to using Extro & Stirling every day. ​

This lovely shave was originally planned for yesterday. But I was too upset due to our beloved cat Miranda having to be put to sleep on New year's Day. Her other back leg suffered the same affliction which resulted in the amputation last July. This gave us no other choice.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Pets add so much to our lives that they become family members.

A superb set up Arthur. I love Rose of Bulgaria.

I am saddened to hear of your loss my friend. I too know the devastation and heartache losing a beloved pet causes.
I understand it is early days but my only advice would be to look towards bringing a new kitten home into your family perhaps at a later date?
It certainly worked for me.

Take care
Wayne,

I am very sorry to hear of your sad loss Arthur.

I am still reeling from the loss of my best friend Basher, my Staffordshire Bull Terrier a little over four months ago. I feel your pain.

This pic doesn't do the Paladin justice. It's stunning in person, and a terrific knot. The Muhle continues to impress!​

Sorry to hear of your loss. Losing a close member of the family is hard to come to terms with but as @patw said, time is a great healer.
The memories which cause pain now, will bring joy eventually.

SOTD: 030118


Pre: Bulldog Face wash and BBA Pre shave oil.
Razor #1: J.A. Henkal Friodur 72.5
Razor #2: Gem Micromatic Clog Pruf
Blade: Gem SS #4
Brush: Simpsons 2xl Best Badger "The Colonel"
Soap: The Sudsey Soapery Almond & Vanilla
Scuttle: Giles
Post: Alum & P&B Unscented Balm.
EDT: Joop

A single pass with the straight and a single pass using the Clog Pruf with slight buffing to the chin left me with an irritation and trouble free BBS shave.

I wanted to try Sudsey Soap for the first time as it was recommended to me for its slickness.
My theory being this will help the straight in particular.
I was not left disappointed. Thank you @Boru62 for the heads up. You were spot on there Kevin.
The slickness is truly amazing, the Friodur glided around my face. Cushion is good and the scent is pungent. Post shave feel is top draw.

First use of my newly acquired Simpson brush and what a great bowl latherer it is. Plenty of backbone and soft enough tips, it whipped up a warm rich lather with the smallest of effort.
I am also fond of the handles ergonomics. Makes swirling your brush around your bowl an easy task.

Finished with a generous splash of Joop and I am good to go.

Enjoy your shaves!
