Sunday...

Soap - Tabac Original
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
Face lather
Razor - Feather AC kamisori
Blade - Feather Pro Guard #2
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Smell - Tabac Original A/S (not in picture)

Leisurely shave today (especially with the new razor). I haven't been brave enough to change hands for the left hand side of my face yet; so a right-handed shave. It went fine, though; pretty much BBS, except for the sides of my neck where I resisted ATG. Slight touch-up under the chin and good to go. A great razor.

Pre - RSC Facial Scrub
Soap - @phoenixandbeau vegan soap
Brush - Omega S10065
Razor - YT Tech
Blade - Perma Sharp SS (3)
Post Shave - Witch Hazel

It takes me a while to work out a lather right any time I start using a new soap, and I've been using the P&B new vegan soap and the first time two times even though the soap produced enough slickness for a good shave I by no means obtained as great a lather as is possible but for today's shave the brush load up, soap to water ratio was PERFECT. The lather was a thick glossy slick goop of a lovely mess on my face.
 
Morning shave.

Baxters of California Face Wash.
P&B vegan soap (test sample).
Maseto 30mm 2 band finest.
Little Wren bowl.
Rockwell 6C (plate 3).
Vokshod (2).
Thatchers Witch Hazel (unscented).
Old Spice Aftershave.

Leisurely Sunday morning shave timed to coincide with some TMS on the radio. Everything just worked really well, including the P&B vegan soap. Cushioning and slickness resulting in a lovely post-shave feel. Three comfortable passes and minimal pick-ups. Smashing!

Yesterday's shave:
Prep: Hot shower L'oreal face wash and Saponificio Varesino Manna di Sicilia bath soap
Razor: ATT S2 Kronos handle
Razor blade: Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum
Brush: Maseto 24mm extra dense Finest 'Spectrum'
Cream: Alvarez & Gomez Barberia (sample)
Post: Thayers witch hazel, Myrsol Emulsion and Mancera Cedrat Boise EDP

Thanks to Iain AKA @Digimonkey for the second sample. I liked it, good performance and nice light scent, very close to Extro Bergamotto di Calabria.

First outing of the Maseto brush. Verdict?
Very, very good. No issues with the knot eating the lather, good flow through from the outset. Soft tips and good backbone. Love the handle too.
There is nothing about this brush which leads you to believe how inexpensive it is.
This is the best bang per buck product I've bought since the Fatip piccolo.

Cheers (from a very hungover)
