Soap • Noble Otter Monoi De Tahiti
Brush • Simpson Chubby 2 'Sovereign'
Razor • Razorock Game Changer. 68-P
Blade • Voskhod (2)
Post • Noble Otter Monoi De Tahiti Splash
Having used this Chubby Synthetic brush a few times, I'm beginning to appreciate it's short wide handle.
It certainly works very well for face lathering.
I believe it shares the same knot as my Simpson Trafalgar T3 (26mm).
Simpson synths could be a new rabbit hole for me.

Razor: Wilkinson Sword Sticky
Blade: Fly Dear Super Platinum
Brush: Men Rock Unknown. Probably synthetic
Pre-Shave: Argan oil soap
Lather: (SAMPLE) Zingari Master
Aftershave: Arun Ice Breaker
First try of this Zingari which is known as a spicy barbershop. It smells like something from the Pinaud Clubman line. Old fashioned in a good way.
The aftershave is new to me. A bit of a weak scent and not sure if this is due to the ravages of time as its probably from the seventies or eighties at the latest. There's no menthol (if there ever was) but a weak powdery scent that reminds me of Myrsol Plastic Shave.

Razor = Pal Injector
Blade = Gillette Platinum Plus ( 1 )
Brush = C&H Navy & Copper V 15
Soap = Wickham's Buddha Wood
with matching splash.
Balm = Nivea Skin Energy.
Well Well Well what a shave.
I haven’t picked up this razor in a couple of years and to my surprise it was first class,
i fact the feedback from the aftershave just about killed me.
I splashed it on like there’s no tomorrow and i was on fire.
Wow honestly i must have taken a few layers of skin with me.
Now that’s not a criticism i like a bit of pain at times.
Although maybe not that much.
I have got a Parker Injector on loan from @NotTheStig but that’s going back this week.
Perhaps i’ll give it one more go before it goes back in the next couple of days.
Right i know iv not been home long but these to soaps and this F-in Love Island are doing my nut in.
If you haven’t heard from me for the rest of the week i’m in Barlinie doing a 10 stretch.

My Menthol Monday Madness Shave today consisted of...
Brush Omega Italian flag Boar.
Soap Geo F Trumpers Spanish Leather.
Razor @Blackland Vector polished lite plate.
Blade Feather Pro Super (2)
Aftershave Geo F Trumpers Spanish Leather Cologne.
A lovely shave again boy I must sound boring now ha ha, but I don't know what else to say when every Shave lately has been top drawer.
The Spanish leather was nice and super cold as I ground a lot of Menthol crystals into the mix.
My face is freezing and boy I look so handsome I should be a work of art.
Enjoy the night everyone.

Very smooth and comfortable finish, can't get enough of this Interrupted when I use it. Certainly wouldn't be to everyones taste, but I like the smokiness from it.
Hope everyone has a grand day.

Tuesday 23 July
Blackland Dart
Gillette 7 o’clock Sharpedge
LEA original, sensitive skin
Simpson The Duke 1 sovereign fibre
A trouble free and comfortable bbs shave although I did get carried away as the shave was going so well and managed a couple of very small weepers. Doesn’t matter how long we have been wet shaving we are still on a learning curve albeit hopefully not still on the steep bit .
The LEA soap, as with yesterday’s Palmolive, is very smooth and creamy and leaves a nice comfortable feeling on the skin. I love it. The 7 o’clock blade on first use was ….er…….sharp!
Have a great day fellas!
