Today's pick was Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet, both soap and A/S. Very Churchillian.

Gentlemen’s Nod Kensai soap
Carbon mokume gane with ++ plate
Wilkinson Light Brigade
Oumo unsullied in dark earth handle
Sebum Gold monsoon
Atkinsons lavender

If I still bought brushes, those Oumo unsullied would be my pick. Like those amazing Somerset Simpson bests that would turn up now and then. Stiff, enough scritch to strip stove enamel. In a world of ghastly gel tips, truly a breath of fresh air.

Penhaligon's English Fern soap and A/S, with a 6/8 TZ and E3 Super. Bloody phone went off and made me jump, so I've cut my left cheek.

This Monday morning's shave was outstanding. The shaving soap was MdC Rose soap. I'd run some water on top last evening so the hard soap would be a bit easier to build a nice lather with the synthetic brush. Glad I did that because the beautiful lather was the best ever. The resulting shave was just what I'd hoped for.

MdC Rose soap is amazing this week, and lucky me. The Thater badger brush went to work as usual,
and the result was positively unusual if compared to other shaving soaps.
You know what I'm talking about. P.S. Not a drop of tallow.

Gary, I have one of these! Lovely razor, but a bit aggressive for me.

I also have a 46-47.
