Prep ~ Valbora Glicerlanolina soap, Shower
Razor ~ Muhle R41 2013
Blade ~ Gillette Bleue Extra
Soap ~ Haslinger Sheep milk (Tallow)
Brush ~ SOC (Taj) Badger & Boar mix
Bowl ~ TSR Group buy
Post ~ Thayers Rose Petal
Scent ~ Creed - Royal Oud

A great shave and the star today was the brush, it ripped into the haslinger like the best boar but had the face feel of a well worn badger and that was on its first use! I am pleased with this brush already.
The razor and blade performed as you would expect, just perfectly.
I finnished off this great shave with a spray or two of Creed Royal Oud, the perfect finnish I think!

Shave happy people.....P

Hi Guys, I haven't posted for some time and would you believe have never used proraso cream or aftershave. I'm off to very hot climes at the end of the month so I wanted to try Proraso with the view of taking the products. A very good close effortless shave today so it's in the case.

RazoRock 400 Plissoft Noir
De Vergulde Hand Soap
Rockwell 6C plate 4
Voskhod (1)
Lime Peppermint & Lavender witch hazel
De Vergulde Hand After Shave Balsem



For a budget soap, this Dutch product works very well. While loading the damp brush it didn't appear to create much lather, but when face latherIng it soon began to yield.
Plenty, well, too much lather was quickly attained.
It's scent is unlike any other soap I have used. To my nose it's a clean sort of cologne scent. Quite pleasing. Plenty of cushion and glide with fair residual slickness.
The matching balm has the same scent and seems to absorb quite quickly.

Thanks again to Derrick, @The Geordie Shaver for the soap and balm.
 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Paladin Lotus Select Badger
Soap: OSP Fougère

Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (3)

Scent: APR General Ledger

Lovely three pass shave. OSP really do have an excellent soap base.
 
The Personna Star works beautifully in the Fatboy for me. I will have to ration my few remaining blades very carefully.

Perish the thought mate - that's just not right? - ask me nicely and I will send you another tuck. Ha ha. My best information is that they were made no later than 1972/3 in the UK. I couldn't find that much on them using a well known search engine. I received an unopened nos retail pillar pack of 100 from my neighbour Mr A. He used to run a grocer shop and these were left over when he sold up in the early eighties. They had been in storage for years but when it came up in conversation one day that I 'proper' shaved - as does he - they were passed on. Nice. With this vintage blade - it is interesting what you say about its suitability in the Fatboy for you - it works best for me in the Slim. Old school razors and old school blades - sort of makes sense? Cheers - I.

It certainly does make sense Iain. Thanks mate. Mr A doesn't happen to have another 100 tucked away somewhere does he?

Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia Concentrada*
Fine Italian Citrus

A superb shave with the 1912 added by the amazing Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia cream.

*I had a sample of this cream a while back courtesy of Iain AKA @Digimonkey
I was impressed at the time, which I'm sure regular reads will remember as it doesn't happen very often. :p
Cheers Iain. It's superb stuff, slick and leaves my face lovely and soft.

Cheers
Rob
