My Shave today consisted of...
Hot shower.
Prep Aleppo soap.
Brush Highlander LE2023 Boar.
Soap Geo F Trumpers Rose.
Razors Leaf and Stando Rod.
Blade Feather Pro Guard.
Aftershave Old Spice dupe.

First time using a Pro guard blade and still undecided at what I think of it.
I had a nice clean shave but not bbs and wonder if it's because I put a mild blade into an already mild razor, I will pop it into the Vector next and see how that fairs.
On a side note the Stando rod is a great little razor and I'm pleased to have it in my den.

Have a great night everyone.

Prep - hot shower, lather face wash
Bowl - DSCosmetic shaving bowl
Cream - Body Shop Maca Root and Aloe
Brush - Yaqi Sagrada Familia tuxedo
Razor - Merkur 34C
Blade - Treet Dura Sharp (4)
Post - lather remains face wash, cold rinse, alum block, blood, styptic matches

Ouch, thrice ouch! Was going ok, great, thick, cushioned, slick lather. All of a sudden, for no reason, the Treet blade bit my lip! My concentration may have wandered a little, but there was no need for that! It is definitely heading for the blade graveyard tin this time! Otherwise it was a nice shave, close (maybe too close) and comfortable (apart from, well, you know) feels good, if not for the pain, oh, the pain!

ZZzzzzzz!
Ok, I’ll take that as a yes then.

Brush: Oumo 'Big Hand' Ex ST-1 27
Soap: A&E Tobacco Road
Razor: Atelier Durdan Vestige ++
Blade: GEM PTFE
Post: A&E Tobacco Road AS & EDP

Cracking shave this morning, back on the Tobacco Road, I may have to do a bit of a longer stint with this on the coming weeks. The EDP is starting to look a little sad though, at just under half full, still it's lovely stuff and there's no point in hanging on to it!

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

As good a shave combo as I could have wished for today. The razor is sublime, the blade still amazing at 5x and the brush softer than any synthetic I’ve ever used. I’ve grown to love Puros, it has a very distinctive smell and is easy to lather well, even with our hard water here.
One main pass wtg then another light atg plus pick ups, bbs all the way!

Shield Gr5 Titanium Ceracote coating
Schick Proline B-30 (5x)
RR Puros
Ever Ready vintage “Badger-lon” (now fully synthetic and with huge thanks to @pjgh (y))
I’m sure that if you have read this far you are wondering about the odd name. The 'Badgerlon' from Ever-Ready was an interesting idea at the time to blend the improved synthetic bristles with soft giving badger hair to form a brush that would lather quickly but also give that lather up when applied to the face (something synthetics aren't great at. I guess the idea didn’t catch on but was worth a try.

Enjoy the day fellas!
