PreShave Shower

Soap: Williams and Speick creme
Razor 99r with Astra platinum
Post shave: WH then Bay Rum AS

First time mixing Soap and Creme, wow lather was near instantaneous! Better protection than the Williams alone.

 

Thank you both, gentlemen, for your kind words!

 

The balm and EdT are a wonderful match to the rich shaving cream.

Today, same as previous few but went with Omega 10049 brush

 

Razor: Gillette New LC Bar Handle 1930s Big Boy wood case
Brush: Stirling Synthetic 26/63 2015
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Truefitt&Hill No 10
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Post Shave Gel, Tommy Bahamas St. Barts cologne

I really like the LC, it's milder than the SC, which I like. Loaded a Feather blade, and checked the alignment. Whipped up some TH 10 in the OS Mug, with the Synthetic. I only dip the tips of the brush in hot water to start the lather. Very different than with my Badger brushes. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup on my trouble spot on my neck. No buffing today to give my face a rest. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB balm. Finished up with some Tommy Bahamas St. Barts cologne. This stuff is nice!

 

Great brush! Cool picture

 

I agree with you, it's definitely a keeper! Gives close and comfy shave.

 

Thank you kindly dear sir.

 

Had my next shave with my Rockwell 6S. Shave report here.

my first look at Speick AS. From the outside it looks like Gillette Cool Wave AS Splash. Nice bottle.

 

Great photo!
Nice use of DoF

 

It is a nice bottle . The splash inside is good stuff too. Even if it doesn't have any menthol. It's got a sort of sharp lavender scent to it and has a nice level of moisturizing for me.

Blade - Feather FHS-5 Hi-Stainless (#3)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Arko / Proraso Green / glycerine / mental crystals

First go with VB4, felt very mild compared to the VC3 though. Took a little buffing past the three passes but still a smooth and comfortable result.
