Its been a while since I used this soap, top quality as always. I think this soap and post shave works well together, it will be the last time I use both for a while, it's not very spring/summer so I think it's more suited for autumn/winter.

A good shave with the razor and blade combo, I enjoy this DOC though I think it is a bit more aggressive the the Phoenix version.

The best shave yet from this razor and I think it's because it's my first SE shave in ages and I'm using the right length blade.
Injector blades are slightly too short and AC ones are too long, so a pair of tin snips to the rescue.
After using mostly travel brushes recently the 2000 felt a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut but a thoroughly enjoyable shave ensued
Happy Shaving one and all.

Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia synthetic
Soap: TFS Stupefacente
Razor: EJ89 Lined handle
Blade: Nacet (3)
Post: Thayers Unscented Witch hazel
AS: Old Spice

A somewhat lacklustre shave just now..... I put it down to the soap... didn't seem very slick, and post shave feel is pretty much non-existent! Don't think i'll be using the TFS again any time soon. Off to the pub now to drown my sorrows :D Have a good evening gents

Soap - Arko
Brush - Zenith Euro X
Razor - Gillette Tech
Blade - Supermax BDP
Post - Nivea Balm
AS - Eyup Sabri Tobacco

The Zenith brush I've been using for the last few days (the unbleached one, I think I put the wrong brush product name for the last few days) seems to be performing better with each additional shave with the brush seems to be better at holding lather for the second and third passes.

I've been using a Lord Silver Star for the last few days and today's Supermax BDP was a much smoother and more enjoyable blade to use.

SOTD 10 May.jpg
Pre Shave: Hot Shower + Bulldog face wash and Proraso white
Razor: Above the Tie SE1 Kronos
Blade: Feather Pro (#5)
Brush: Semogue 2000
Soap: Barbon cream
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphreys Witch Hazel
AS: Dove balm

Today's 5th shave in a row with the ATT SE1 and a Feather Pro blade was a bit disappointing after the previous shaves, maybe I was less awake than I thought this morning. I normally get far more shaves than 5 before an AC blade starts to dull for me but going to change the blade in the morning.
 
SOTD 10 May 2018 :)

Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap, followed by warm water splash.
Cream - Musgo Real Lavender Shaving Cream .
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2, Synthetic.
Bowl - Little Wren Pottery.
Razor - Rex Ambassador (Setting 5, then 3)
Blade - Astra SP (Day 3).
Post shave - Cold water splash; Aesop Post-Shave Lotion followed by Musgo Real No.4 Lavender Cologne.

Best shave of the week; great protective lather, lovely scent from the Musgo cream and cologne :)

A 3 pass shave: WTG; ATG and XTG (face only on the third pass) - BBS with no issues.

I seemed to shave with the cap of the Rex more flush with my face; which seemed to give a better shave, and all my previous shaves with the Ambassador were all great.

The razor and the Musgo were fab today.

Hope all is good with everyone,

Chris
