Razor: Gillette British Rocket HD 500
Blade: Personna Super Stainless (D01)
Brush: Kent BLK4
Scuttle: TheMudPlace Big Daddy Oiled Mahogany
Pre-Shave Scrub: Ginger Garden Aventus
Pre-Shave Gel: AOS Ocean Kelp
Shave Soap: Grooming Dept Patchouli 
Post: Handmade Soap Co. Soothing AS Cream
Aftershave: Folsom Shambala


Firsts today with using the NOS Perssonna Super Stainless blades from Great Britain and a new shave soap Patchouli from the Grooming Dept. All I can say is WOW, what a super BBS shave this morning. Starting with the Patchouli shave soap, it soaked up more water that I expected but a super rich luxurious lather, that provided a slick razor glide and smooth post shave feel. Shave was so smooth with the soap and the Personna SS blade I had to check that it was actually as smooth on the face feel as it felt and looked in the mirror. This blade is sharp but smoother for me than the Personna 74, Could it be the combination of shave soap formula from the Grooming Dept and the blade, will wait and see on Monday when I switch over to another shave soap as I plan on using the Grooming Dept Lavender for tomorrow shave. As for the Aroma, still out on this for me as I am not a fan of Ylang Ylang and I can pick it up in the soap but the rest of the ingredients agree with me: light and dark Patchouli essential oils, Patchouli Flower, Geranium and a hint of Grapefruit. Still early to tell but this vegan soap is definitely top 5 if not 3 in my den.

The photos is gorgeous, I'm so happy the performance is up to your expectations sir! I'm revising the Patchouli to have less Ylang Ylang. The next iteration will be a darker shade of Patchouli too.
