Gillette New SC Razor Bic Chrome Platinum Blade Modified Barbershop Boar Brush Dirty Deeds Bay Rum & Lime Soap Dickinson's Witch Hazel Pinaud Clubman After Shave Went with this razor I got from @Jrdelgado after I cleaned and polished it. The blade has been used a few times, but that didn't stop it from delivering a very nice shave. Two passes with a little touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.
SHAVE OF THE DAY Prep: splash of hot water Razor: Colonial General Blade: Gillette 7oclock Platinum Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetic Soap: Coates Rose Cream Post: Van Yulay Arabian Nights balm Got a decent lather from the Coates Rose but this was not a enjoyable shave at all, lots of irriration and the balm burned like wildfire once applied. Don't really care for this razor which may have been the culprit, have noticed it can be temperamental sometimes. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves.

Well after being #9 on the wait list and waiting 2.5 years for the Varlet Beehive, finally arrived mid May. Aldo stated he added 10% more hair than previous batches so don't know if that is true or not but I do like it. The handle size, crispness of the edges on the groves are the best of all the beehives I have or have tried to date. Was envious of yours for quite some time you know
Local Gent Field and Stream soap, Klenzo B75 bristle brush, Edvin Neiström straight with barber's notch, Chiseled Face Cryogen aftershave. Two careful, slow passes on a really outstanding lather. A clean, very relaxing afternoon shave.
Are the groves deeper than other Beehive handles. They don't look as deep as some of my Beehive handle brushes.

Awesome! Your setups are matched so well that sometimes I feel jealous. And I hand pick each item. That is yet another great pic and product spread.
