Yeah, you have some very nice looking pieces. Quite the variety too. Heh, I am hoping you might make some kinda homage that would cause the Good Doctor severe distress for not having one. Certainly easy to know what he likes.....

Something with vivid colours would attract him I guess. See what he comes up with when he sees this...;)
 
Thursday Morning

Prep: Hot Shower

Brush: Sir Brian Wenge handle withTGN 2 Band 26mm

Blade: GSB (2)

Razor: ATT Kronos M1

Cream/Soap: ToBs Sandlewood cream, face lathered.

Aftershave: Floid "The Original"

Comparison with the M2 plate.

M1 plate leaves no weepers and gives a DFS+ shave.

M2 plate gives me very slight weepers but gives a BBS shave.

(So far)
 
37c
bodger
wickham soap co 1902 menthol
astra stainless (2)
Pashana a/s

great shave - another cracking soap from the fox. followed by the churchy vibes of the pashana. lovely. 2 small nicks but still a very nice shave. i think the key to this razor is to slow it down
 
Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave - sensitive
Soap: Whickham Soap Company Club Cola Super Smooth (sample)
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: Semogue 830
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable @6
Blade: Rapira SS (2)
After: Barbershop Bay Rum, Nivea ASB

First outing with Fox's Club Cola. Excellent performance as expected from this soap. I can't see how anyone could have a problem lathering with this product.
The scent is too subtle for me, anyway I'm not a fan of cola but that's just me. Enough for a few more shaves and that's what I'm gonna do.
