Very nice shave this morning. Woke a few minutes before the alarm so spent the time wisely!

Razor is 1950s Gillette Rocket which I just purchased thru our BST from Missoni. In absolutely perfect condition- thank you - and gave a super shave this morning first time out.

Brian's rose scented Coriander is lovely - slightly more product than usual left the whole bathroom smelling great!

Soap - Signature Soaps Peppermint
Razor - Ball End Tech
Blade - Vosk (2)
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Balm
AS - Benjamin's Bay Rum Mentholated

Peach of a shave today after yesterday's minor disaster. Brian's soap really does produce a majestic lather, a thick, cushioning lather that just seems to let the blade glide across my face.

Have a good day chaps.

Another superb shave today, this time with the Vector.
Again 2 passes WTG & ATG with a little touch up resulting in a BBS, comfortable finish.

First shave with the newly acquired Aristocrat. I thought I'd pair it with a soap from the same decade of manufacture - vintage Creed Epicea.
I had forgotten what a wonderful razor the Gillette Slim is. Very nimble, reliable and comfortable.
Three effortless passes on setting 4, resulting in a DFS+. A truly wonderful shave experience.

My first shave using a Trumper cream and what better way to open batting than with Limes? A great lather that smells fantastic. I'm falling in love with the Rex as well. A glass like finish today. I think I'll try a Feather next in the Rex.
