Blade: Astra SP #2
Razor: Gillette Slim Aristocrat L4
Brush: Black Anvil Custom 26mm 2 Band Silvertip Black/Blue & Clear Resin
Soap: Le Pere Lucian Rose De Pushkar
Post: Antica Barbieria Colla Green Tobacco Aftershave Milk
EDP: Rose of Bulgaria

A wonderful 3 pass BBS Shave with the Aristocrat set at 7 then to 5.

First time use of this newly acquired Black Anvil brush and I must say I am over the moon with it.
Not only in my eyes does it look beautiful but its performance is outstanding straight out of the box.
Back bone ideal for face and bowl lathering with superb flow through and super soft tips. With minimum fuss it held enough soap for numerous passes.

The soap is beautifully scented and is so, so slick. The cushion is up there with the best I have tried.

Finished with the ABC and a generous helping of Rose of Bulgaria EDP

Enjoy your shaves.! :)

Monday evening

The Gentleman's Groom Room Highland Bothy
RazoRock BC Silvertip 24mm
Face lather
RazoRock Black Hawk V.2
Schick Proline P
Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Trumper's Eucris EdT

A light razor. I do find that holding the handle a bit more firmly yields better results; because a lighter touch means I have to work a bit harder to get smooth results. The vetiver and oak moss in the soap accords well with the spicy, woodsy notes of the Eucris.

DFS. All's good.

@Wayne Pritchard - that Aristocrat is absolutely stunning, and your photograph adroitly captures its beauty. My oh my - I am searching for something similar with a J4 code.

What a great shave, very smooth and clean with no irritation. Face felt great soft and smooth. I normally change blade after 3 shaves, took a risk and kept it in for fourth shave and I'm glad I did great result. This is my third use of Slim on Setting 7, I do enjoy using my Vintage Gillette Slim very rewarding results.

Im still very much learning with razor and blade combinations, really enjoying the whole DE shaving experience.

Have a nice day :) B.
