Swisse Daily Face Moisturiser for Men

The ingredients isn’t Australian made sorry @JustUncleL, just because the product is Swiss doesn’t mean it’s made in Australia … it’s all bull

 

[bald as]

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: Oumo SHD 2 band badger
Soap: A&E ‘Kaizen’
Razor: E. M. Dickinson ‘Invicta’ 6/8
Strop: DCBlades Roo/Cotton
Post-shave: Osma Alum block, Fine ‘Platinum’, Mont Blanc ‘Explorer’

Used the Invicta as a test blade on my first ever JNat, a Nakayama Mizu Asagi - 73x115x19 mm - 485g. Resulted in a brilliant shave, as advertised.

Bevel after 12K Naniwa (Before)

Great to see you already have a good handle on the hone. Well done.

I can only go by the label which says "Made in Australia", if you need all ingredients to be made in Australia then that would count out many "Australian Made" products in the current market.

Getting to the dregs of LPL and transferring over to the shaving bowl which has allowed me to get out the big brother "Troycraft - Rhodos 28mm G5C" big for me

Brush: maggards synth (my middle child stole it and dropped it on the tiles so it’s kinda broken now… need recommendations on a new one)

Recommendations on a new brush? Look no further... It's a long thread now, but it's worth it. Be warned though, the force of the rabbit hole is strong...

The AP 28mm is bigger than some 30mm knots. The fan configuration makes it easy to focus though, so best of both worlds. I'm looking forward to trying the new AP Titanium knot soon, that should be interesting. I reckon I'm probably done with bulb knots.
