SOTD 22 JANUARY 2015 Semogue 1305 brush Pleese Amcor razor with IDF handle Q-Ball blade MEM OLIVE shaving cream Floid Genuine aftershave Did a quick 2 passes today. The Semogue has a little bit more backbone than the Omega 48 which I love to use, but you get used to it. The Mem Olive cream generated lots of lather and everything went as it should go, no big surprises here. Pretty sweet shave!

22 Jan 2015 Soap - MWF Brush - Vulfix 660S Medium Razor - Merkur 34C Blade - Astra SP (3) AS - The VEG DFS overall. I have said before and will say again, MWF is my #1 soap right now. Loads of great later, super slick and great post feel. Topping off with the VEG hit the spot. I have certainly noticed since I decanted the veg in glass, that the longer it is in that glass the better it gets. Again the clause of personal preference is most certainly the case when speaking of the VEG.
