Yesterday I've bought 3 Wilkinson Sword shave sticks european version from a local chemist store in London for £1.25 each and 1 plastic round tub 250ml size with a screw lid for 40p, I've grated all three sticks into a tub ready for shaving this is a tallow & coconut oil with glycerine and lanolin which smell very classic type scent for a light blue colour soap. The Wilkinson Sword shaving soap is not too bad for some reason it seem to dry out my skin pretty quick against Palmolive Classic shave stick (strange), the lather is very slick, cushy and it doesn't soak up a lot of water which is perfect.................Chow!!

 

One more nice shave for the week but a little bit of irritation on this one put a little too much pressure on the lower neck causing some slight razor burn. Not too bad though just a slight sting from the alum will probably be gone by morning.

Thank you Steve. This brush is a work of art in my opinion. It is a pleasure to use, very ergonomic, and it whips the heck out of soap while being pretty at the same time.

 

Good photo and setup.

 

Great looking brush Roger.

Last night's shave, on vacation, was with a trusted American straight razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. I had two small wheelers, because I'm not use to the Hotel bathrooms, lighting and all.

Razor- Shapliegh 12/16th Straight Razor
Brush- Semogue 1800 boar
Soap- Stirling Ozark Mountain
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman.

Sorry, no photos

Easy shave this morning with this combination. I really enjoy the Black Hawk SE. The Soap Commander Courage was great as usual and lathered easily with the Semogue boar. This is the 8th shave on this sample - still going strong. I may be using this one into next month! Nice shave overall.

Have a great day!

 

Thank you Doug. I really like the Cambridge and Oxford soap. The performance is top notch. However, I do find the scent strength a little light. The Reef Point Tranquility tallow based soap has a very similar scent of lavender and peppermint. The scent strength is much stronger and the extra kick of peppermint oil provides a cooling sensation. When they are both gone, I will repurchase Tranquility.
