Pre: Shower
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow 26mm
Soap: Signature Soaps Eboracum
Razor: Supply V2 Custom 3 dot
Blade: Personna Injector (9)
Post shave: Cold water splash, EO infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Tonyschin's Cedarwood & Peppermint Infused Argan oil / Proraso Green
Aftershave: Proraso Green


The star of the show today was the Signature soaps "Eboracum", although i do enjoy a minty shave the Eboracum takes it that step further with the addition of Cedarwood and that makes it for me as i feel it reduces the "sweetness" of the scent. So much so i have made my own take on it with an Argan Oil lotion.
I had copious amounts of wonderful lather to protect my chin during the shave, a little goes far and the resulting lather is very very good.
3 passes for a BBS finish today.
A nice post shave leaving me feeling very refreshed.
Stay Safe and Enjoy your day All

Pre: Face Wash
Brush: Simpson Duke 2
Soap: Ariana & Evans Pamplemousse
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather PB (9)
Post shave: Cold water splash, EO infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Bart's Balm Lime Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: Vintage Ferd. Mülhens Vintage 4711 EDC


This mornings shave was very much helped along by an enabling member in the other forum i frequent. I had enough soap and brushes to last a lifetime, however, when the A&E soaps and a Little Duke 2 went up for sale i willingly obliged, and very glad i did too.
So Up today was the the turn of the "Pamplemousse", i did not even know what a Pamplemousse was, so i was intrigued. I had also been thinking about a badger brush as i do enjoy using the Vintage bristle brushes i have, so that was also jumped on.
When the Brush arrived i completed a test lather after cleaning and loved it, so much so i also now have its bigger brother the Duke 3 in the brush stable, Oh when will it end?
So today's shave, i completed a brush loading of around 20 seconds as this brush is smaller than the Synth used yesterday, not as big a hit of scent from the off, but something familiar, a very nice easy face lather where i got more of a pleasant earthy, herbal note but there is definitely some floral notes in the back ground, all in all very nice, what is it?.
A wonderfully slick, thick chin covering ready for the Vector.
2 passes and a little buffing, the brush holding enough to complete the shave. I could feel the blade going off towards the end so i have banked it.
I had a nice post shave, starting with great post shave slickness from the soap, a quick cold splash and then to the balms, what to use? i still could not put a finger on the floral note, i decided on the Barts B&V and finished with some Vintage 4711.
All very nice but not quite a match for the soap.
BBS feeling and smelling good.
It got the better of me and i had to look up what scent was in this soap, as soon as i read the description it twigged, Rose, i thought i did not like rose? well i do now.
The A&E soaps worked well for me as does the D2, thanks again Chris.

Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
