Tuesday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
AutoStrop A2
Feather FHS-10
Aqua Velva After Shave
The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A2 Razor and a Feather FHS-10 blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD: K!tty @ppr0ved!!!
This is my first time using the Hearth and Altar products. I am impressed! We have notoriously hard water where I live but the lather jumped right out as soon as the brush was applied. The lather was very thick. I was actually surprised at how thick it was. It had that sheen I like to see from my lather as well. The slickness was OFF THE CHARTS! I mean the razor was just gliding over my skin whisking off the whiskers. BBS in 1 pass with some touch ups. No feedback from the alum. With the splash my face feels smooth, hydrated and NIIIICE!
Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable 84
Blade: Gillette 7 O;clock SuperSharp (Yellow)
Pre-Shave: PAA Cube
Shave Soap: Hearth And Altar Thorned Rose And Marmalade
AS: Hearth And Altar Thorned Rose And Marmalade
Brush: Half Rotten Hardwoods
Lather Bowl/Scuttle/Mug: Indy Brush Worx

I think by now though I think it was restocked.
The Parker Variant OC in my opinion is one the best adjustable razors there is and at such a bargain price I love mine.
Great to see mate.
Cheers.

Firstly I hope you and your families have all been well best wishes to you all.
I had a very nice shave this spring afternoon with the Rocket flair tip , this classic Gillette razor works best for me with a sharp blade the Wizamet is always a good choice.
Anyone familiar with this razor knows it gives a good and somewhat forgiving razor.
The build quality of the razor like with many British Gillette's is top-notch really built to last a lifetime and then some.
The H&C year of the snake shave soap whipped up into a great thick creamy lather.
Great cushioning and protection.
The scent is fresh and clean with a great aftershave feel.
The captain’s choice cat O' Nine tails is really nice and quite spicy even for a Bay rum splash.
1 pass WTG 1 pass ATG with a couple of touch ups done.
"Enjoy your shave's"
Cheers to you all.
