    Thanks for the compliment. The T&H soap was originally a birthday gift. It doesn't contain tallow. It probably has more of a cologne scent than pure sandalwood and is very clean and fresh. The slickness isn't at the level of OSP, but performs well and gave a very pleasant shave.
    I only use synthetic brushes, which I'm very comfortable with.

    RR 400. SE- Plissoft noir
    Ach Brito Mogno
    ATT SE1
    Kai CT Protouch MG [ 12 ]
    Tuff Green A/S Lotion/

    A nice Shave, but definite signs that the blade is past its best and a change is due. This Kai blade is a good pairing with the ATT SE1.

    Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

    A new rotation with Vintage SE after a spell with AC/SEs. This format is more of a challenge than the AC one, which I find a lot more forgiving. I enjoyed the Shave but perhaps needed to work a bit harder around one side of my neck which was not up to scratch.

    Due to inattention yesterday I did not get the best finish in one area of my neck. Today with no rush made sure that the problem area was dealt with properly.Very pleased with the overall quality and closeness of finish.
