    Cold Water Shave
    Pears Glycerine Soap
    Vitos Pre Shave Cream
    The Body Shop Shaving Cream/Croap (Vintage)
    Omega S10081 Synthetic Brush
    Weishi V2 Adjustable (5,6,6) with an Astra SP
    Alum and Rinse
    Simple Facial Toner
    Dove Moisturiser
    Brut Splash

    The Body Shop cream is so old....its more like a Croap. I think it is from probably 3 formulations ago.....and it works just fine. I am finding the cold water shave to be really good. 3 passes for a lovely shave.

    Pre: Warm water splash
    Soap: London Oatcake
    Brush: S_Jagger Zebrano 24mm ST
    Razor: Gibbs No. 17
    Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless
    Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Tuff Red ASL

    I thought I'd revisit the Feather blade, so I slipped the Gibbs into N and off I ventured.
    Well, the hours put in at the sink face have paid off.
    Very sharp and unlike the other times I've used this blade, very smooth. I may even crank the Gibbs back up to four the next time.
    One thing did occur to me whilst shaving, if I do use the Feathers more often, I can offset the added expense by opening a candle factory.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    Stunning brush Chris. Is it new? I think I might have seen one like this in a Tweet.

    Razor: Gillette Black Beauty w/case & blade pack. (R-2) 1971
    Blade: Personna 74 Tungsten Steel (7)
    Brush: JJ-8 Marine Corps build by Jim Joseph (@jimjo1031)
    Soap: Jeeves Soap Blood & Steel TSD Charlie (@wristwatchb)
    A/S: Floid Aftershave
    Bowl: 3 D Printer by Tom White (?)

    The Marine JJ-8 brush whipped up TSD Blood & Steel into a great lather. The Gillette is a mild razor even with the Personna Tungsten Steel blade on 9. Three passes and a clean up and everything is fine. I am a big fan of the Floid aftershave.

    Beautiful set up and shave, Doug! Looks like you still have some white stuff on the ground. I broke out my shorts on April 1st.

    We got a mix of snow and rain on April 1st. Good weather on the way. We are hopeful. :)
    Thank for the great soap my friend.

    Great picture and setup Kevin. I really like that razor and brush combination. Feather blades are excellent.
