I hadn't used the 1914 for ages, I had forgotten how nice it was.
I put a flat top in this brush ages ago, I really should have set it lower for a little more backbone. Still, not as bad as it might have been and good with a shave stick.

Pre: Shower
Brush: Alpha Outlaw Titanium G4 Synth
Soap: 1912 Irish Fern
Razor: Supply V2 Custom 2 dot
Blade: Personna Injector (6)
Post shave: Cold water splash, EO infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Floïd Balm
Aftershave: Floïd SE Mentolado Vigaroso
3 Passes for a DFS result today, the 2 dot plate requires a little work to achieve BBS for me, however, initially i found the 3 Dot plate a tad too much, i may have to give it another spin.
I still enjoyed the shave and it was very relaxing, at no time do you feel as if the razor is going to bite.
A great face lather today with the 1912/Alpha Ti Synth combo finishing with the Floïd post shave routine.
A late Post as i have been on Hairdressing duties for Mrs TC, she is very happy with her new colour, i also quite like it.
I may have given myself a new regular job here .
Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your day.

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Tom's B-400 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Superior Lather Catcher with a Gem Blue Star blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Pre: Shower
Brush Alpha Outlaw Titanium G4 Synth
Soap: Arran Soap Co. Machrie
Razor: Supply V2 Custom 3 dot
Blade: Personna Injector (7)
Post shave: Alum Block, Cold water splash, EO infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Arran Soap Co. Machrie

I swapped out the #2 plate for the #3 and was rewarded with a very smooth close shave, obviously my technique has improved and the Supply now delivers a shave on par with the Vintage injectors i have.
A nice face lather today with the Alpha Ti G4 working very well.
A nice post shave leaving me soft supple BBS and smelling real good.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Monday's Shave
First shave with the new (to me) Schick Type L razor. Primary impression is a good one, with the razor providing a very mild but efficient shave. The razor felt slightly tuggy at times, so it could be a dud new blade or will work better with a slicker soap.

I'm a fan of the Original Skin Bracer, wife likes it on me too!

Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

I'll have to recreate the picture if anyone cares. I forgot to take a picture without an unmentionable I'm testing out for a week. The mentionable part of the shave was courtesy of a Gem MMOC with 3rd use Pal carbon blade.
The soap was a blend of Cyril R Salter wild rose and a little Cela whipped up with my SHD two band badger. It was a great relaxing 10pm shave.
