Awesome Blast
I used WSP Citrus Blast today and got the best lather from it yet, using advice from their blog. I changed it a bit, since I don't soak synthetic brushes, but just loading a little longer makes this soap really shine. I used a Rapira Super Stainless blade for the first time today and I'm impressed. It seems very similar to Voskhod, sharp enough, but also forgiving. Three easy smooth passes with der Futur on five left me with a drama free BBS. TTFFC For Flint aftershave has a nice citrus note that works well with the soap and Givenchy Pi Neo.
Prep: Van Yulay PSO
Soap: WSP Citrus Blast
Brush: HIS
Razor: Futur
Blade: Rapira Super Stainless (1)
AS: Through The Fire Fine Craft For Flint
EdT: Givenchy Pi Neo

 

How did it go with the Futur dialed up?

 

I agree. They are hard to find in good shape like yours.

Good morning guys. Yesterday I was awarded a CT which is both a blessing and a curse as now some of you are busting my jolly ranchers over it. Wonderful shave this morning with the R41 and the Rapira SS, these blades are slightly tuggy but something about the coating on them provide me with an extremely comfortable irritation free shave. I whipped up yogurt like cream this morning with the Proraso and it made my shave that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Stirling Mita Balm it's very soothing and healing but also the scent will not clash with any cologne if anything it complements it. Have a great shave and a great day friends.

Great picture @Robyflexx!

 

Another excellent photograph of amazing products. Do you use any special lighting or do you have Photoshop? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

Day 90 of 90

Guys, there was a change in my plans today so here's what I went with.

Thursday morning:

Nivea Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Monster
Junjie/Astra day 4
Italian Barber Acquatico SS
Intesa Glacial AS Gel
Razorock Don Donato AS
Grey Flannel EdT

For some reason I just got a bee in my bonnet about changing my selection and I'm actually glad that I turned to these items. The Acquatico soap from Italian Barber lathered very easily and nicely with the help of my Plissoft brush, the scent is awesome and the Intesa gel went on very comfortably with a mild, pleasant cooling effect. The Don Donato aftershave smells absolutely GREAT. Very manly and commanding with a pretty decent cooling sensation to boot. This shave turned out BBS with no issues whatsoever!

 

Jim, have a great day buddy!

 

Great shot Roby.

 

What a nice handle on your Tech and lovely colors in your photo Jim.
