Evening shave.

BBA Face Wash.
PAA CaD.
SOC Cherry Boar.
Little Wren Pottery.
Gillette Super Adjustable Black Beauty.
Gillette Nacet.
OSP Barbershop Aftershave Tonic.
BBA Post Shave Balm.

I had forgotten that the Black Beauty is, for me, a fair bit milder than the Fatboy on setting 5. But not to worry. A very comfortable three passes for a damn fine shave. Have a good evening chaps.

Pre Shave: Hot Shower + L'Oreal Birch Sap Face Wash and Proraso White
Razor: Cobra (on loan)
Blade: Feather Soft Guard (#4)
Brush: Maseto 30mm finest fan shape
Cream: Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel
AS: American Crew Revitalizing Toner

Best shave I have had from the Feather Soft Guard blade, but only a mediocre shave overall. The soft guard feels quite rough, not soft at all. Highlight was the C&E cream whipped into a great lather by the Maseto, this really is a fantastic brush.

Razor: Gillette Tech
Razor blade: Gillette 7 o'clock Green (3)
Brush: Thater 4125/2 (3 Band)
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery
Cream: Castle Forbes 1445 (sample)
Post: Pitralon Classic aftershave

The CF 1445 sample was very kindly sent to me by @patw
I liked the scent which was a good start. It reminds me of Fine's Italian Citrus.
It performed well, so it's a thumbs up from me.

The blade wasn't the best in the Tech. Struggled to get a close finish on the neck area.

Finished off with the brilliant Pitralon, which complemented the cream.

Thank you Pat from the sample. You are a gent.

Laters

Supply (•••)
B-20 (#1)
YaQi Silvertip
Club Cola

Posting a little late due to site maintenance with PostImg.
A decent enough shave, great on the cheeks and chin but struggled a bit on my neck. A little while since I used this last and it showed. However, no irritation and close enough for me. Loved the YaQi, insanely soft and simple to splay - up my street!

Next!
