    Prep - Hot towel
    Pre shave - Prep
    Razor – ‘The Rock’ (Rockwell 6S – #3)
    Blade – Gillette Silver Blue
    Brush - ‘Il Cinghiale’ (Zenith EURO/RX)
    Soap – Lebelle Soaps: Tobac Vanille
    Post - Cold water rinse / Barrister & Mann: Latha Taiga Post-Shave Splash

    well, after receiving my Zenith EURO/RX Boar, and Lebelle Soaps: Tobac Vanille from tvbshaving, I couldn't wait to give 'em a spin..... well, ‘Il Cinghiale’ made easy work of the Lebelle Soap, quickly whipping it into a thick, rich, moist lather which provided a slick, and impressive foundation... this will be a very impressive combo, once the Zenith has settled down, as it was quite scritchy. Yeah, looking forward to my future shaves with this combo, as they will only get better.

    Sunday morning's shave plans:

    Nivea Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Rapira day 7
    Stirling Sharp Dressed Man SS
    Lubriderm Moisturizer
    Bulgari Blu Notte EdT

    Although the weather forecast is for hot and humid conditions I don't mind missing a mentholated shave once in a while as long as it's with a Stirling soap. The Sharp Dressed Man deserves a 20/20, not less!

    Sometimes I wish I could DOUBLE LIKE some of these pictures.
    I must have a thing for Schick Adjustable razors - was what I cut my teeth on so many years ago.
    The fascination probably because I don't have one - absence makes the heart grow fonder?
    LOOKS GREAT! Thanks for sharing.

    RAZOR: Sabi 3-piece - chrome (3 inch handle, medium weight)- a mildly aggressive razor for me.
    BLADE: PACE DE (5 pack) - made in Vietnam
    PRE SHAVE: none - I find that KMF works better for me that way - bowl lather instead of face lather.
    SHAVE CREAM: Kiss My Face KEY LIME
    BRUSH: Van Der Hagen SUPER BOAR (with hole in the middle) - this brush is a super lather maker. I can't explain it. It just works GREAT!
    AFTER SHAVE: Pinaud Citrus Musk
    BALM: Brompton & Langley Coconut Lime Lotion (not in pic)
    Sabi_KMF_Pinaud_Citrus_Musk1.jpg
    Wonderfully smooth 4 pass shave (WTG, AGT, XTG left, XTG right) to get dolphin smooth.
    I have not used KMF for a while, mostly because I have been face lathering various soaps. KMF Works well, left my face very smooth & soft.
    I took this pic after lather and right before the shave. That's a first for me.

    Today's shave:

    Pre-shave: hot shower
    Soap: Scalpmaster Shaving Soap + Cremo Sandalwood shave cream
    VDH Boar Brush
    1957 Gillette Flair Tip
    Israeli Personna blade
    Post Shave: T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel, Nivea Sensitive Balm & Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum

    Post Script: The Scalpmaster was a disappointment the first time I used it months ago. @jbo667 in a previous post on this thread gave me an idea (as did others I've read) to add other creams or soaps so I did. The combination produced an excellent lather.

    Blade: GEM stainless
    Razor: GEM Pushbutton
    Brush: Artisan badger
    Lather: Route 66 Rum Runner
    Post: Witch hazel, Barbasol Pacific Rush aftershave
    WTG, XTG

    Nice shave this afternoon. Took time and did two full passes for smooth results. Route 66 is terrific soap. It's been a while since I've used it and I was reminded of the great quality. Nice finish with Barbasol Pacific Rush. Overall top notch.

    Have a great rest of Saturday!

    Good photograph and line up Perry. I agree with you about the Route 66 Soaps. Not a bad soap in the group.
