Shower
MWF
Custom Whipped Dog 24mm Synthetic
Seygus on Custom Stainless Handle
Sputnik [1]
Barbus AS
Beckham Instinct Sport EDT (this is far far better than expected and rather quite nice!)

Another cracking shave from the Seygus. Its a belter and I'd recommend you try one! Never been a big fan of Sputniks, I don't find the shave particularly close and are not that smooth. They work really well in the Seygus; they'll never be my favourite blade though...
 
Well it proves again that sticking to same products and learning them in depth pays off

SMN Prep
Thater 4125/1 2 band Silvertip Bulb
Old Spice soap from good Al H
Gillette NEW 77 from @merwtje
Triton R3
Thayers Witch Hazel
Hydrolast

Bored of saying that but BBS again.....

I am heavily pleased with that razor, Base case is a masterpiece with nice heft. Handle weight at shape just perfect and how OC teeth are design ai ai ai gorgeous. Old Spice soap is just class within it self. I am not fan of strong scented soap and this just have faint scent

Triton R3 again proves that is made for pre 1945 Gillette OC.

Vulfix 404
Tabac stick- face lathered
Gem Natural Angle [ G-Bar ]
Gem S/S [ 6 ]
Alum Rub/Tabac A/S

Finding this Brush & Stick work well together and produce a nice lather. Despite being on Sixth use of the blade, the shave was smooth and irritation free ,with a surprisingly close finish. Am tempted to go for one more use of the blade with another mild razor.

Vitos red
Omega boar
Gillette Slim Adjustable
Astra SP
Myrsol f/extra

The Slim has very mixed results for me. It can give me a smooth, comfortable close shave or, as today, a harsh, irritable close shave [emoji17]
