An astonishingly close shave with the Feather razor and a new blade this morning, for a mild razor it really is excellent. The M7 is an expensive brush but it gives a truly luxury face feel, even with cold water.
Hungover shave this morning so shelved the intended straight (can never be too careful). Right back to the Sabre, chilled and effortless shave.
Should perhaps have considered a lighter scented soap and splash rather than the warming Barbiere, almost lulled me back to sleep rather than giving me the kick up the arse I needed!
Sorry to hear the scent is a miss for you Chris I’ve always liked the scent on the soap but the aftershave is a bit different..don’t dislike it but don’t enjoy it quite as much as I enjoy the scent on the soap
It's not a bad scent at all Jay, it's just not my cup of tea. I know what you mean by the difference between the two. I get grass from the soap and cookies from the splash.

Yes think it’s just a nostalgia thing for me with the soap of playing football in the park as a kid and face planting the grass the scent of dirt and grass..not entirely sure what it is I pick up on the splash but it doesn’t give that same reminiscence
Pre - PAA Cube - unscented
Razor - Gillette Tech - EFB - short fat windrose handle
Blade - Souplex
Soap - Hampfat number 2
Brush - Zenith unbleached boar
Post - Pashana aftershave
It's been a while, so I thought I would take the Tech for a spin and had a lovely shave, the Hampfat Number 2 was refreshing with the Tea Tree oil blending with the Lavender oil.
The brush is everything I could want from a boar bristle brush.

Wonderful lather that also smelled great. And I made exactly the right amount, which isn't really important, but is satisfying anyway. Smooth skin on a warm morning.

Williams Aqua Velva A/S lotion
A Trouble free Shave is assured when The Raster is paired with this guarded blade, Though the Shave seemed very quick, the quality of finish was still very good.
This razor can do no wrong, smooth without any effort, every time. I love this soap and need to save to get the matching splash. It’s almost too easy with this set up.
