Brush:- Omega MB1899 Black Resin 24/53mm knot Elite Fibre Synth.
Soap/Cream:- Haslinger Schafmilch Sheep Milk & Lanolin (tallow)
Razor/Blade:- BIC 1 Sensitive Disposable Cartridge Razor #4
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Plunkett's Vita E Pure with Rosehip Oil (10 drops), Natural Plant Glycerine (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5)
Moisturising Cream:- Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Fragrance-Free (for autumn & winter season)

Finally..... At last, since I've been into spinal rehabilitation on the 12th January for at least three months.

I'm finally going home next Friday 8th of May, so I need at least a week or two to settle into my unit first, and then I have a lot of planning, which I'm not going to be very happy.
I prefer not to talk about it, so just leave it at that.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Clubman Pinaud Classic Barber Shave Cream
Jayaruh #144
Gillette Trac //
Trac // Cartridge Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Derby Chop Shop After Shave Tonic

This is my last shave in Hendersonville, NC, so I used what I had on hand. I used the Jayaruh #144 brush to wet my face. The Clubman Pinaud Classic Barber Shave Cream is a non foaming shave cream that I rubbed into my whiskers. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Trac // razor and the Trac // Cartridge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Derby Chop Shop After Shave Tonic. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I hope everyone is doing well. I have been very busy and truly miss getting on the forum every day to socialize. I received some excellent new products from PAA and Strike Gold Shaving. My wife even made a comment while I was lathering and shaving about how wonderful these new products smell.
The PAA brush, Moon Stryker, is excellent. I have to thank @DesertIguana, he posted this brush first and I got the glow in the dark version.

Here are a couple recent SOTN:

Personna blade

Wonderful shave with the Friday Lund. This set of Lunds are smaller than usual, more of a “midi” size. In keeping with that I broke out my small brush as well. Excellent performance all around. :)

Hot water preparation
Baume.be Shave Cream
Simpson Case Best Badger
Lund 4/8 Friday
Cold water rinse
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel

Happy shaving - Karl
