Another Menthol May shave:

Homemade menthol pre-oil
Erasmic (bowl), bowl lathered and added menthol glycerine
Bodyshop Synthetic
Gillette Fatboy #7
Rapira Swede #1
Alum rub
Cold rinse
Alcolado/Witch Hazel 3:1 mix

Wow, that was cold and refreshing.
 
Prep: Hot shower
Pre: SM Novella pre-shave cream
Soap: NSS - Down Home Summer
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements
Brush: MÜHLE Kosmo 23mm silvertip synthetic
Razor: ATT R1 Kronos
Blade: Feather (3)
After: Myrsol Plastic AS, T&H No.10 ASB

I thought this was my very last use of this NSS soap as it's clean empty but after washing out my lather bowl I found some soap stuck to the bottom of the bowl and I think it's enough for another shave's worth - yay.
What a great this soap this is. It's one of my favourites for both performance and scent. I've still got a few more NSSs to finish off before I start buying up some more.
Not usually fond of a feather blade but hey-ho-give-it-a-go and found it has worked pretty well for the last 3 shaves. It's still not in my favourites but not too bad, just face feels a bit sore soon after shaving.

Have great long BH weekend folks.

Got my Personal Barber starter box today so had a very different shave:

Hot shower
PB Synthetic brush
Twaburds Tea Tree and Mint soap
PB stainless razor
Rapira Swedish Supersteel (1)
BOOBS
Nivea sensitive ASB

A surprisingly good shave with new equipment. At first use the brush was good enough. The soap worked better than I expected. The razor itself seems like a keeper, particularly as a milder alternative to the more aggressive razors I use that work better on two to three days growth.
 
Friday

Evening, everyone.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJDE89
Blade: Super Max Blue Diamond (7)

Finished the week with my Thiers-Issard No 17 - and the Gillette Blue tip for clean up.
It went really well and am enjoying this so much that I might try to dedicate one day/week for straight razor shaving at the same time as I work my way through my DE/SE backlog.

Razor II: Gillette Blue Tip w/ a 7 O'Clock blade
Brush: SOC Boar
