Pre - Dove Original Cream Bar
Brush - Vintage Culmak Junior - 21mm Silvertip
Soap - Droyt's Classic Glycerine Shaving Soap
Razor - Ever ready 1914 - Speedster box
Blade - GEM PTFE S/S
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Lomond
A/S - Avon Shaving Brush "Wild Country"
I am still not convinced of the lather produced by the Droyts shaving soap, yes its slick enough and leaves some post shave slip, however, it can dissipate quickly on the face.
A nice enough shave today though with another 1914 little lather catcher.
Enjoy your day all.

Lather - Cella
Second go with the Timor/Personna combo… just to confirm its place in the Wiffwaff shaving pantheon. Great shave again. I’ve arrived at my destination… two pass shave every two days. There are still some fave blades and razors to mess around with, but I’m tempted to order enough Personna blades to see me through the next zombie apocalypse.
Cella always requires an extra bit of beating up for me, but I got there. I was tempted to take a photo for Brush of the Day, but I was just too damn soapy.

SOTD 12-June
Brush: Dogwood DG B16
Soap: Proraso Wood & Spice
Razor: CG Level 3
Blade: Wizamet
Post: Proraso Wood & Spice Balm & Cologne
Simple task today, use cream shaving Soap. I've had this hanging around for donkeys now, so thought it about time to give it a run. It really is excellent, with brilliant sickness and a lovely scent.
Had to give a den tour as well, wasn't so much a tour as it was pictures of boxes with an obscene collection of gear. With the photo treasure hunt, I assumed this one at 'Wood', easy call this time around. Obviously still 18 other items to try and get into pics, they're going to get a bit more random as I go along. No idea how to link an onion or a prius, it's weird, don't ask!
Have a good one all!
Cheers
Marc
