Sunday SOTD:

CFG GTB
Semogue 620
'63 Gillette Slim
Gillette Platinum (2)
CFG GTB Splash

Still trying to finish this soap and man, it's holding on. I got such a lather going in the bowl while loading I just went with it.

Sunday AM 2017-09-10

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 3/1 Ivory Finest (22mm/44mm)
Harrods shaving soap (by Floris, vintage)
Delta Echo Ink Edition Feather AS-D2/Triad Copper Aristocrat
Gillette Platinum 'Swede' (6)
Dolce & Gabbana aftershave

Razor: Alumigoose w/ iKon Bamboo Handle
Blade: KAI Captain Titan (3)
Brush: DFS LE Nathan Clark Envy White Handle Aluminum Color, Anodized Dark Bronze. #41/150
Soap: Reef Point Soap Admiralty
A/S: Lucky Tiger, Old Spice
Decanter: Old Spice Ship's Lantern 1981-1984 ID #3632
Bowl: Symmetrical Pottery Starry Night Dottie

Is it the brush, is it the soap, or is it the bowl? Hard to say, but all 3 work very well together to produce an excellent lather. Three passes with a minor touch up for a very near BBS.
The iKon handle is a great little handle.

#SOTD 10SEP17
Razor: Gillette Tech
Blade: Gillette Platinum (1)
Brush: WW 'Bishop'
Soap: Grooming Dept. Yuzu
Post: Nothing required when using GD's soaps

Awesome shave; first time using the Tech and it was oh so mild, not sure if I like it. I will have to give it a few more tries with different blades to see.

GroomingDept makes some of the best soaps out there and he is constantly working on getting some very complex scents out as well.

I enjoyed the Yuzu; scent strength was a 7 out of 10 and it gets even stronger while lathered. My face did have a bit of a tingle while using the soap so I will have to move it on. I still have Aether and Voyage to test out next so there are no tears
