BB SS
Nacet
TroyCraft 'Apollo' 26mm G5C
Tabac Soap and Splash

Nacet isnt as smooth as the BIC or Minora in this razor, still reasonably smooth and got a very close shave. The G5C is a champion brush, very happy with the knot. The brush itself has instantly become my favorite.. Pics dont do it justice, just a beautiful brush to look at. The feel is excellent, the burl adds a touch of weight which I love, balance is excellent.

so how was this brush named? well it truly looks like the oceans and earth collide and gives it a look as if its a chuck of earth looking from space, hence Apollo.. Also doesnt hurt hat Apollo is the ancient Greek God of Music :)

SOTD – WED 23 NOV 2022​

Aussie Wednesday Shave

SOTD-20221123-setup.png


Shave Result: BHS is a soft but not runny cream, so I placed a 3.0gm scoop of product in my bowl and made a lovely creamy medium density lather. Lather performance was excellent all around, this Budget option is worth a try. The lather has a light pleasant citrus powdery aroma, 6/10 scent strength. The mild Yaqi “Mellon” SLOC head and Blue Sword combine well together to give an easy going smooth clean DFS.
