Wed 14th Feb.

Omega 11137 boar
Lea classic soap
Ever Ready 1924 + EJ 89 handle
Gem S/S coated [ 2 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

As a follow up to the Streamline went for the ER 1924 ,which though less aggressive still demands care and attention throughout a Shave.
Very pleased with the ease and comfort of the Shave, and though it took a little longer than
yesterday, the overall finish was top notch. Another Razor that for me beats the modern
SE/Gems that I have tried by a country mile.

Omega 011829
iKon 102
Shark Super Chrome (3)
Arko
Thayers Rose, Nivea Balm & Issey Miyake Nuit D'Issey

Final shave on the Shark blade, I think this is the worst of the three, I don't know why but I decided to go ATG on my neck and whilst I'm not red or irritated, perhaps a wee bit too close. The Omega is great for face lathering, still needs to be broken in but held the lather better than yesterday. Enough for my shave and a bit left over.

Blade: Gem #3
Razor: Ever Ready 1912
Soap: P&B Spitfire
Bowl: S.V. Grail
Brush: Simpsons XL Colonel
Post: BBA PSB
EDT: L'Occitane Cade

A faultless 3 pass shave with the awesome 1912.

A lovely thick, rich and silky lather was easily created by the S.V bowl and Simpsons brush combo.

Finished with the formidable BBA Balm and a generous splash of Cade.

Enjoy your Valentines and your shaves! :)

I should have taken your advice from day one Billy. Valobra soaps are the best ever!
I have another two sticks on the way.
Stocking up before they also decide to stop using tallow.

Ive got a few pucks of czech and speake that im using at the mo and it gives me the best possible shave every single time.

Valobra [emoji7]
 
PRE - Shower & almond oil

BRUSH - SOC Boar

SOAP - LPL Oud Santal

RAZOR - Thiers Issard, Damascus, 5/8

POST - Almond oil & Fine American Blend

When I first opened up the LPL I thought it was a dud. The scent is not what I expected. In my opinion the scent is very sweet and goes well with the likes of Fine American Blend or LPL Fougere Cologne.

Builds up a great lather all the same.
A great shave from the straight and LPL.
