Razor: Timeless Bronze .38
Blade: GSB (1)
Brush: Wolf Whiskers Bishop
Soap: Viking Shaving Longship
Post: Chatillon Lux Delor de Treget​

My first time using the vegan offering from Viking and I didn't notice much of a difference between it and the tallow soaps. Ease of lather, slickness, residual slickness, cushion and post-shave were all very similar i.e., very good. The only difference would be with the density of the lather; I noticed that the tallow soaps have a denser lather but both types of soap perform near identical. I enjoy the Viking soaps and would like to see more of these in fellow member SOTDs. The Viking soaps are definitely under the radar.

Soap ~ Gomez Barberia, Kindly gifted by @Digimonkey
Brush ~ BSSW Gonzo Silvertip
Scuttle ~ Giles Shaving Co
Post ~ BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent ~ Iris Prima by Penhaligons

A wonderful shave this morning, my number one DE razor, a NOS Sheffield blade which turned out to be very good indeed and the fab Gomez Barberia with its wonderful scent.
The blade was both sharp and smooth and gave me a fab BBS shave in three passes helped along with the wonderful silky fragrant lather that was produced from the Gomez Barberia, finnishing off with the BBA PSB. My scent today was the lovely Iris Prima by Penhaligons, perfect to give me a little lift on this cold wet and windy day.
With many thanks to @Bizzyberry and @Digimonkey for the blade and the cream sample, much appreciated chaps. :)

Have a wonderful day if at all possible ......:)

Gibbs No 17
Supermax Platinum (2)
Monsavon
Thayers Rose, Myrsol Emulsion & Cerruti 1881 Men

A superb shave again from the Gibbs and Supermax, I think Supermax is edging my favourite blade list. I echo @Blademonkey's sentiment, the shave from a Gibbs is very hard to beat. Monsavon is a great lather as always, cheap as chips and gives many a dearer soap a run for its money (and beats them). Finished off with a squirt of Cerruti 1881 Men.​
 
Tuesday's shave :)

Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap face wash, followed by Village Barbour Pre-shave Oil.
Razor - Supply-SE v2.0 (Plate **).
Blade - Schick Proline P-20 (Day 1).
Soap - D.R Harris Eucalyptus Shaving Cream.
Bowl - Little Wren.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic Badger.
Post shave - OSP Eucalyptus and Menthol splash, followed by Ibiza-Aloe Aloe Vera Gel.

I was a little worried that the Schick Proline P-20 would have been a little to much blade, for me, in the Supply-SE v2.0.

It was a perfect pairing, went for a 3 pass shave on the face, with a 2 pass on the neck - no issues - a very enjoyable, BBS shave, dolphin + smooth, if there is such a thing.

No post shave sting from the OSP Eucalyptus and Menthol splash - overall a very good shave.

First thoughts - Supply v2.0, plate **, Personna PTFE = very good - Supply v2.0, plate **, Schic Proline P-20 = Excellent.

All the best,

Chris
