A couple of firsts this Sunday, both budget buys.
A soap from the world's oldest registered shaving soap manufacturer. And possibly the cheapest metal handled boar brush on the market.
The soap smells mildly citrus and fresh, it lathers nicely and the performance is pretty good. Where it gets let down is the post shave, I think it would be quite drying if used daily.
The brush feels good and solid in the hand and is pretty soft for its first use. Far less scritchy than a Vulfix boar VS/1. It lost a few hairs but hopefully it'll settle down. Thanks to @Blademonkey for the recommendation, a great little boar brush.

Sunday 17th December

Truefitt & Hill No 10
YaqI 24mm Tuxedo Marble Handle
Merkur 34C HD
Treet Carbon (2)
Lime witch hazel mixture
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage AS

A full on citrus scented shave this morning
Cream choice inspired by Iain's @Digimonkey post yesterday
No 10 isn't featured on SOTD that often, but it is a top performing cream with a scent to die for. To quote Del Boy, "A little dab'll do ya""
It literally explodes in the bowl with hardly any effort.
The Treet blade is super smooth in my 34C, a very skin friendly combo
Finished with my all time favourite aftershave, Eau Sauvage. It's not the best performing ASL, but boy, it smells good !

Blade: Gem SS#4
Razor: Gem MMOC
Soap: S.V. Cosmo
Brush: S.V.2.0 Rosewood
Bowl: S.V. The grail
Post: Alum & Calani Oriental plum Balm
EDT: Issey Myake L'eau D'Issey

That was a shave well worthy for a lovely relaxing Sunday ahead.

The MMOC is a lovely razor I would say slightly more aggressive than the Clog Pruf and equally as efficient. A smooth BBS 3 pass shave.

The soap has amazing qualities. Super rich lather with loads of cushion and slip n slide. Scent could be a little stronger for me but that is just me being picky.

Bowl lathered using "The Grail" and the superb S.V. Brush. The quality of this brush is unbelievable.
Cloud soft tips with a flow through second to none when compared to the other brushes I have tried.

Finished with alum, balm and a generous splash of Issey Myake.

Enjoy your Sunday and your Shaves. :)
