Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Semogue 1470 Boar
Soap: Kepkinh
Razor: DeHaven Model 3
Blade: Feather Pro
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Kepkinh Sandalwood & Propolis ASB

First use of this soap and first impression is, it's not bad.
The scent is a very nice, light, herbaceous, green fougere.
For a vegetarian soap it's very thirsty and I'll perhaps need to dial this in to bring out its best.
As it is, like a lot of vegetarian soaps, it's lacking in slickness and wanting in post shave feel.
The balm on the other hand is top notch straight off the bat. It looks a bit oily but is quickly absorbed leaving the skin moisturised and nourished, very impressed indeed.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Another good shave with the Supply razor. It's a good razor for sure and does well. The Barbon SC/A.S was a Christmas gift and I like it. Have used it in the past so knew what to expect. It's a pretty good Hungarian product. Now go enjoy your day folks

Wonderful setup and photo amigo.

 

Rare that I post shaves, but here's one for Decadent December.

Proraso, my fav pre-shave, just a little goes a long way. Noxema? Fuggettaboutit!

Stirling unscented, because I love the puffs of rich thick lather from mutton tallow, but not a super fan of most of the scents offered (although Scots Pine is OK with me).

Lather up with the StirlingBadger Fan. Could be the greatest value around in badger. Love the handle. I'd drop the cash instantly for one with a syn tuxedo fan.

Did the stropping routine then hit the ugly mug with a hot washcloth and relathered. No shortage of the suds. I became a cold water shaver with safeties, but grew to like hot with a straight.

First time out with this Cocobolo scaled Sunday Shaver that the Lovely Mrs Headroom authorized for Christmas. Shoulderless 5/8 extra hollow, expertly honed at TSS. My first one is sooo delightful, I wanted a 2nd for a measure for when I undertake a rehone.

Treated the skin to the limeflavored Trumpers Skin Food. I'll always have some of this magic elixir.

The glorious Stank of the day is Tuscany for the finish. A sweet clean fresh floral aroma that you are sure NOT to like IF you are into the smells of ashtrays, bar rooms, or dirt naps. However the gals in the Headroom household love it, and yea, I still got myman-card.

Hoping everyone had a Blessed Christmas!

 

Good looking arrangement with a great looking brush.

Beard is coming along fine so a lower neck/cheeks shave this morning.

A very, very smooth shave. Been years since I used Astras, forgot how nice they can be. About as smooth as my Big Ben standbys but noticeably sharper. Good blade.
