  • Lather: Sweyn Forkbeard Mango & Papaya Cream
  • Brush: Razorock Big Bruce 26mm
  • Razor: Leaf Twig
  • Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (India) (8)

Same as yesterday and equally as good. This was the last use of this blade but 8 good uses is good mileage

  • Lather: Proraso Green Soap
  • Brush: AP Shave Co G5C 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Tech
  • Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (India) (4)

Same hardware combo which worked well yesterday, and unsurprisingly it was good again today. Proraso Green of course is well known so not much to say about that other than that I like it and its cooling property was nice today with it being warm outside.

  • Lather: La Barbiera Classic Soap
  • Brush: AP Shave Co G5C 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Tech
  • Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (India) (3)

This blade delivered a third great shave. This time in the Tech.

This soap has a sweet woody scent. I've used the lemon scented La Barbiera soap more than this one. I am not a massive fan of the scent of the Classic but the performance is ok and the price is very affordable.

  • Lather: Tabac Stick (Vegan Formula)
  • Brush: AP Shave Co G5C 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Old Type
  • Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (India) (2)

Tabac Tuesday! It has been rare that I shave on a Tuesday but I just recently moved to daily shaving so decided to do a Tabac Tuesday.

How was the shave? Glad you asked. It was great! The lather was slick, the blade and razor combo made the shave efficient and smooth. Even after one WTG pass most of the hair was gone.

  • Lather: Noxzema Yellow Tube Cream
  • Brush: Razorock Big Bruce 26mm
  • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable
  • Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (India) (1)

This blade was one that I really liked but I hadn't used it in a while because I've been trying lots of other blades. I wasn't sure if I would still feel the same about it before today's shave. Well it turns out I still really like it. Smooth and Plenty sharp for me. It's also fortunate I still like them because I have loads of them left.

Enjoyable shave overall, my last with this particular blade, and it paired quite well with the Old Type.

Tatara are doing 15% off on their website for Father's Day until tomorrow with the code Fathersday15.

I was considering buying their adjustable but I just can't justify the cost, even with the discount.
