    RyX DoH!

    Nice set up! Not sure I have any of those blades, but the rest of the gear is in my den and gets used. What was your Brush of the Shave?

    RyX DoH!

    SOTD 07172019.gif 1920 Single Ring with most of the silver plating intact. Sliver Blue blade fits it just right. The Soap Commander is an unknown scent because it came out of a "grab bag" of ends and pieces. Omega Pro 10098 boar knot in the R-400 reproduction. I'm not a big balm fan preferring alcohol based splashes, but the Nivea has a nice light scent and feels good without being greasy.

    Razor: A battle scarred Gillette Slim. (#5) (Works perfect btw)
    Soap: The Golden Hand.
    Blades: WS classic
    A/s: Vintage Imperial Leather.

    The Slim razor is both a tragedy and a triumph. It has suffered serious plate loss on the handle (down to the copper) and the numbers are faint. There are a few flea bites on the head. However, mechanically it is bob-on. Like new almost. Shaves ok as well.

    I don't like WS blades or they don't like me. No blood letting this time though :)

    The body shop brush was my 1st genuine shave brush and was a massive step up from the chemist shop rust removal tool i was using in the beginning. It is however, a huge step down from my Yaqi synthetic. Hey ho.

    The soap: for €3 a bowl, this stuff is fantastic. Its the Dutch equivalent of Palmolive except its a bit dearer, comes in a bowl not a stick, doesn't smell of dad (or much else tbh) and isn't green.
    Wonderful workman like soap.

    The A/S: Came as a sidekick bonus to a stick of Imp. Leather shaving soap.
    Its smells as cheap as it looks lol. Channel Allure this isn't.
    It isn't really anything much more than a alcohol splash though and i do like those when i am shaving late.
