Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso - Sandalwood
Soap: Stirling - Bay Rum
Bowl: Estremoz Scuttle
Brush: Mervyn 24mm silvertip
Razor: Gem Damaskeene + custom baseball handle
Blade: Gem (4)
After: Captain's Choice Bay Rum AS, Body Shop Arber ASB

Stirling soap for this week and Bay Rum is my favourite. In fact the lather is so slick and protective it's sometimes difficult to know when the razor's at the correct angle. Only issue today was that the badger brush kept eating all my lather so had to re-load from the puck a few times. Yesterday's WD synthetic performed much better.

First use of my new scuttle and razor handle and both performed great.

Have a great day folks.

A really great tobacco Tuesday. The menthol blast made the snowy morning that much more exhilarating

(Posted in the wrong thread initially!) Sorry about the lack of pictures — next time I have the extra time I'll try to set one up!

What a lovely, easy-going, close and comfortable shave. Gave myself a small nick on my chin but only because I was getting a little eager there (toughest whiskers). I needn't have worried about the I-2 injector being too mild; it did a great job. Plus, can we just have another shout-out to how great Nuàvia is? Jeeeeeeez.
