    Thank you Doug. I figured your brush is the perfect match of Heavyweights in brass.

    Surrey Boar Brush
    Tabac Shave Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel w/Rose
    Tabac After Shave

    After getting the base plate for this razor yesterday, I had to try it out. To me, this is a very deceiving razor. When shaving it appears to be a pretty mild razor. But after two passes it delivered a near BBS shave and only needed a couple strokes, just water and no lathering, to produce a very nice BBS shave.

    Razor Merkur 34C
    Brush Wilkinson sword black classic
    Blade super max superior platinum
    Soap Feana electron
    Moisturiser Urban Jack
    London Beard Co solid cologne woody/Rich/Spicy
    Well struggled to get a good lather but ok on face .. not as thick as I normally like! but the blade although three days growth seemed to drag and a few passes were needed... didn’t get any rash or burn but I don’t like these blades !!!
    Maybe in a different razor?
    Nice moisturiser and cologne though
    Saying that it doesn’t feel to bad after moisturiser I’ve chucked blade but have another 4 to try with different razors I guess?

    Mail call. I just received the soap and AS. The only other bay rum scent I've tried is PAA Atomic Age B.R. I was looking for something with a bit more spice and I'm very pleased with both of these scents.
    The shave was the best one I've had in a while, 3 pass bbs. Finished off with some Nivea Cooling balm.
    I'm considering purchasing another badger brush, I'm eyeing the new Stirling HMW, anyone own one?
    Take care, everyone!
