Pre: Warm water, Crew oil
Razor: Timeless, S/S, 0.95 Scalloped base plate
Blade: Feather
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk1
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Martin de Candre, Fougere
Post: Proraso Green

@Kaeckerut thanks for the opportunity to try out the Martin de Candre. First use, what can I say, minimal effort to whip up a thick lather. Once applied to the face it felt thick and creamy, loved the scent. The Timeless just glided, just two passes for a comfortable DFS.
Already looking forward to the next shave. (y)
Have a good week gents.

 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Soap: Boellis Panama 1924
Razor: Pils 101NE
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Bleue Extra (3)
Post: CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: DR Harris Traditional Cologne

It is always a treat to shave with the luxurious Boellis Panama soft soap. Very slick indeed, making shaving a delight.
My Semogue Owners Club Boar brush has bloomed nicely after being in the rotation for over a year, and is a top performer.
Two passes and a couple of clean-up strokes for a DFS.
 
Kind of busy lately (It does not mean I didn;t shave xD), Last two days devoted for warming up considering the upcoming Fresca intensa release...

pre: warm water
machine: Timeless 0.95 OC scalloped / UFO golliath prototype
blade: Ladas
brush: CRV "bipolar" manchurian
soap: AP Reserve Fresca
splash: Chatillon Lux Fourth and Pine
EdP: AP Reserve Fresca

It is great to go for a crisp citrus scent. I am not sure how good is the pairing with CL Fourth and pine, I reckon it will fits better with MdC agrumes (and that will give some peace to APR Suitably attired Australian, pretty decimated, that I don't want to get rid of)

My Soap Tempest
Antica Barbieria Colla Boar
PILS - Feather
Acqua Di Parma Balm
Al Kimiya Tempest Attar​

I’ve been enjoying using My Soap Chopper whilst leaving this one to cure for a few weeks as I felt it may benefit. It did, and performed superb.
With the 50ml Tempest Parfum ‘in the post’ many a great full tilt Tempest shaves are to come.
I can safely say I’m pretty much done with the artisans and their very often disappointing scents. There’s only a couple I’d buy from again because they are indeed very good, but at the minute their offerings are not the sort of scents I’m looking for.
 
Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: Thater boar shaving brush
Soap/Cream: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Skyefall shaving soap
Razor: Vintage Eclipse Red Ring
Blade: Personna 'Lab Blue' (1)
Post-shave: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Skyefall aftershave splash
Fragrance: Australian Private Reserve (APR) Skyefall EDT

I will not have time in the morning to post, another early flight. I'm still traumatised by my nightmare the other night (I was talking to @todras's father in the dream. He was an orthodox Jew and was telling me that Dan's little perfume and shaving business was not Kosher - so he had convinced him to shut down APR entirely and forever.) so I have to play with my APR once again tomorrow. Sad I know ...



Getting on the APR train it seems!
 
sorry, no pic today. I went to take a photo and my battery died. However, in preparation for this week's DE shaves I did take a photo last night of my weapons of choice for the week, so here they are:




today's shave:

Cream: Simpsons - peppermint and rosemary
Brush: Sam and Son 22 mm silvertip
Weapon: Charcoal Goods, Magnum, Level 3 Open comb with a Feather
Beard: 4 days growth
Post: RR lavender aftershave wax

First pass, the lvl 3 OC was good at taking off most of the growth, but was not very smooth, nicked myself a few times. Second pass, managed to get a decent result, but all the time, I was just thinking, this would have been much nicer with my Koraat White Queen. I can't fault the quality of the C.G. razor, but I Think that the lvl 3 OC, may be too aggressive for my liking.

Excellent. My weapon of choice as well. Looks like you're missing copper, though...
