SOTD
Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Plisson
Soap: Tiki Tallow Redwood
Razor: Gillette slim adjustable w/ a feather
Post: Home-made bay rum aftershave

The scent isn't my favourite, but Tiki lathers like you wouldn't believe. You know the saying "load it like you hate it?". For Tiki, it's more like "load it like you had a mild disagreement with it once". Granted, it's a pretty soft soap, but still.
I sent my straights off for honing the other day, can't wait to get them back.

Gillette Milord (NDC) w/Gillette 7 O'clock SP (1)
Cold rinse, witch hazel, Cortizone 10, Neutrogena Triple Protect Face Lotion, TSD AS Milk - Irish Spring Type

I asked my wife if I smelled like an Irishman. She said, "You smell magically delicious!" I figured she'd say, "No. First you have to splash on some whiskey and another woman's perfume." (My last name's McIntyre. I'm allowed to make jokes like that.)

 

Shave of the day, full sandalwood shave!

Pre- Hot shower, Bulldog Original face wash, 3D Men Schwarzkopf Professional hair and body with Yves Rocher gommage scrub

Soap/cream- Taylor of old bond street Sandalwood shaving cream

Brush- Whipped dog 24mm silvertip

Razor- Gillette Slim adjustable(5)
Hero of the day: Merkur 37c

Blade- LADAS

Post- Cold water rinse, Dr Harris Sandalwood aftershave lotion and Crabtree and Evelyn Sandalwood aftershave balm

Man I smell so good, men wanna be me women wanna be with me =P

Sandalwood is my scent, I can finally do a full sandalwood shave, and it was good!

My slim is acting out a little, it doesn't pair well with the LADAS. It's weird. It's not the blades fault. @RaZorBurn123 I put the blade in my Merkur and continued the shave. I got an amazing shave. Damn, I might stick to the Merkur a while. I might test blades with my Merkur instead of the slim.

My Ever-Ready 150 arrived yesterday, Gary did a wonderful job restoring it. It's now a brush and not a toy. This knot is so much different then my Plisson and WD, it has backbone. PAA Dirt is really nice! It smells just like dirt PAA FU Fougère complements dirt really well.
Go out and get it
