As usual, today's Friday shave was delightful. 2 more days of Asylum Vetiver Bourbon tallow soap to look forward to, then I'll be rotating to the next on the list.

Today's Friday shave was courtesy of a brand new Schick Proline blade in the General V2, Mike's Natural Lime soap, and a return to my ever-capable Silk Smoke synthetic brush, following a couple of weeks with the Manchurian Rooney.

Today's Friday shave was unchanged. Only two more days of Mike's Lime soap remain before it'll be time to make a change.

Today's shaving cream was AOS Peppermint. Very good stuff.

Today it was AOS Sandalwood shaving cream and the substantial brass General V1.

AOS Rose Absolute shaving cream. One of the best. Too bad it's long out of production.

The QShave blade is lasting much longer than I expected. It's only good it certain razors though - EJ DE87, Pre-War FH Tech, QShave adjustable at 3 or less, '46 Aristocrat, and Aristocrat Junior. It feels far too rough in most others.

Started a new bowl of the old tallow AOS Sandalwood soap. Wow!!!

It's Friday, and here's mine!

It's been so long I almost forgot how to post pictures on SMF. Anyway, here's my current daily shave set-up which won't change until February 13th.

Another excellent shave.  I am doing a head-to-head comparison of a Paradigm 17-4 and a Paradigm Titanium II. My initial impression is that the overall shave quality of the 17-4 and that of the Titanium II are quite close, with the 17-4 having just a very slight edge, probably due to its greater weight adding to the stroke smoothness.  The lighter Titanium II seems to be a bit more comfortable for me to hold because I have a mild tremor in my dominant, razor-holding hand.  I'll use the 17-4 again tomorrow with vintage Floris cream.

Today's Friday shave: Brush - Semogue 2000. Soap - Strop Shoppe tallow Solsetio. Great fragrance and lather.

Been using the SilkSmoke synthetic every day. Only 3 more days until the Strop Shoppe Solsetio goes back in the drawer and replaced by Penhaligon's English Fern tallow soap.
