Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave - sensitive
Soap: Tabac Stick
Brush: MÜHLE Kosmo silvertip synthetic
Razor: ATT R1 Kronos
Blade: Sputnik (1)
After: Tabac AS, Tabac ASB

First time with my new R1 plate on the ATT and I think I may have found the "one". Silky smooth shave with just the right amount of aggression. I reckon it's a step up from the Weber in closeness and sings just like a Fatip.
This may well be the end of my razor searching.... well, maybe.

Happy days.

Post-Shave: Professor Blighty A/S Balsam - Coconut, Lime & Grapefruit & Styptic pen

My first outing with the Prof and I'm extremely happy. Great lather and scents. Really smooth shave but managed a small cut when Mrs SFG came into the bathroom to brush her teeth :icon_rolleyes:
 
Pre: Village Barber oil

Brush: M&F L7 Butterscotch
Razor: ATT M2 with Templ8 custom handle
Blade: Ladas stainless (3)
Post: Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
AS: Vintage Old Spice Cologne, followed by Nivea Sensitive balm

As usual, the Master Lather whipped up a luxurious slick lather, far too much for one person to use.
First time with the ATT M2 plate. Much nicer on my skin than the R2. Perfect 3-pass BBS. Loved every minute of it.

Ecotools kabuki
Astra ss (5)
Speick soap and a/s lotion

Really got to grips with the slant today. Have been doubting it's use as a regular shaver but it proved me wrong. Very smooth and the weight felt good. The astra gets better with each use too. Last run out for the speick soap. Monsavon March is upon us.

Good day Sirs
